Helpme request

{{helpme}}

Hello. I am a new editor. I am considering creating an article on Dance Parties, however an article is at Dance Party. Am I allowed to create a page on Dance Parties, and if so, how can I overide the current page? -- PartyDude! (talk) 11:30, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia has guidelines on what can and can not be included in the article space. What would the article be about? — neuro^(talk) 13:46, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Okay, it needs to be verifiable, with multiple sources from reliable third-parties and it also needs to be notable (which can be conferred from the multiple sources) before it can be moved into the mainspace. — neuro^(talk) 21:38, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

You cannot 'override' it as such, first it must be moved, then the page must be moved over redirect by an admin - but none of this will or should occur until the above are fulfilled. As an aside, a friend lent me The Missing Manual a little while ago and I didn't get through the first few pages - be careful about believing or acting upon everything that you read in there. — neuro^(talk) 21:42, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Don't know what I was thinking of, but it appears I was wrong. I just took another glance at TMM and it appears to be a pretty good source of information, I must have been thinking of something else. — neuro^(talk) 21:52, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, references are a must. Try looking for some news stories involving them. — neuro^(talk) 21:57, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

The sources don't verify the statements. — neuro^(talk) 22:07, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

No, they don't. They only give it a passing mention. — neuro^(talk) 22:10, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

I went offline for a while without any warning, sorry. Not much better. — neuro^(talk) 00:39, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, I don't really specialise in that area, but you might want to come to wikipedia-en-help on freenode irc, where no doubt someone will be able to assist. — neuro^(talk) 01:55, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

 Done with your request. Wizardman 04:44, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

I've moved it again to the correct capitalization at Dance party, and I checked fixed all the incoming links since most were trying to point at Dance Party (album). Cheers, Amalthea 12:06, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Note to anyone here to complain about my merger to Dance party and Rave

I am sorry for making these edits. I should have allowed more time for consensus to build. This is a misjudgement on my part, and maybe a conflict of interest. I will allow more time for this to take place. Again, I am sorry. -- PartyDude! (talk) 09:45, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Remixploitation

Hi
May I ask why you considered these edits vandalistic? Emma added the tracklist of the album, along with a reference, even asked politely about you revert, which you quite rudely called "disruption"? --Amalthea 22:34, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

I was using a Recent Changes filter, and the page showed up. I checked it, and then rolled back the edit. However, when I reviewed the edit, I must have had a lapse of consentration. I'm sorry for this - it was merely some human error and I did not mean to do it. -- PartyDude! (talk) 23:15, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

I understand. What you should do now is go to her talk page, strike the warning you left her by enclosing it in <s></s> tags, and apologize to her.
I'd also very strongly urge you to go through your other edits (reverts and warnings) since you installed Lupin's anti-vandal script. You should only ever use the revert links from that script in clear cases of vandalism (WP:VANDALISM). If it's not vandalism, you mustn't use it. If you find it unconstructive, undo it with a meaningful edit summary.
Three random examples: neither this, nor this, nor this was vandalism, and none of the editors should have been warned for it. Please strike the warnings you gave for those and similar cases. You can also consider leaving them a welcome notice with {{subst:Wel}} ~~~~ if they are new users.
I know that you of course meant only to be helpful, but know that if you were to go on like this, you would very quickly loose access to the anti-vandalism tools.
Cheers, Amalthea 23:34, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I saw that you already did so before I even left that message, thanks. :) Cheers, Amalthea 13:05, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
