Razimus

Hello Razimus, and welcome to Wikipedia! The first thing you should know is that we encourage you to be bold. Feel free to edit and improve articles, by clicking any 'edit' link.

If you'd like to test what Wikipedia can do, check out the sandbox - just type and save the page and your text will appear. That's the beauty of a Wiki.

For more information check out our tutorial - it's designed with newcomers in mind, as is the help section. If you'd like to get involved with current projects, have a look at the Community Portal. There are always tasks for users to do, ranging from copyediting to expanding stubs.

I hope you'll enjoy your time here, but be warned, it can become addictive! Feel free to message me, I'm more than happy to help. As an added tip, sign any message you post so users know that you've said it. To do so is delightfully simple, just use the wikicode ~~~~.

Once again, welcome!

Re: Ultima VII

Hello. I also agree that Ultima VII is "the most badass game ever made in the history of the universe". However, regrettably adding one person's opinion is problematic:

1. We try to only add statements from prominent people or journalists, because the chances are these peoples' opinions have some sort of influence.
2. We don't publish original research. Which is to say, every statement should have some sort of source, preferrably a reliable one. If you have a source for this claim (ie, it appeared in some good source rather than just being thrown here), and it appears that this mention is otherwise worthy of inclusion, then it might be worth including.

Sorry if this sounds like a humourless approach. Regrettably, we're trying to make a serious encyclopaedia here, not a collection of remarks on how much the favourite game from each of rules. (Mostly because our Final Fantasy articles would be absolutely unreadable if we did that! Just think of the implications...)

Don't be disappointed, just try a little bit of seriousness. It helps. Trust me. Happy editing. =) --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 09:54, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: Lord British

I noted you removed the source to the Ultima VII information in Lord British article. Please don't. As things appear to be, the link redirects elsewhere now and doesn't point to the correct document; however, the whole purpose of the citation is to show that "at the indicated time, this link had fact that verified this information". Citations do not need to care how to access the information now, though it'd be obviously nicer. It's crucial that the references are not removed. The correct course of action in situations like this is to add something like (Inaccessible as of xxxx-xx-xx) after the template, or add citation parameters |archivedate=xxxx-xx-xx|archiveurl=http://whatever.archive.org/blah... which point to an Internet Archive copy. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 10:57, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Lord British article you have contributed too is up for replacement with a redirect

You have participated in the Lord British article before, and a fair portion of your edits to Wikipedia seem to be Ultima related. Some have decided it should be eliminated entirely, with some information merged over elsewhere, but most lost forever. The same is being done for Avatar_(Ultima) and The_Companions_of_the_Avatar. In addition, one Ultima topic is up for deletion at the AFD. Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Worlds_of_Ultima Please share your opinions to form consensus. Dream Focus 17:02, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Razimus! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 902 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

1. Preston Nichols - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 05:04, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Peter Moon (author)

The article Peter Moon (author) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No sources. No evidence of notability. probably violates BLP to call him a "conspiracy theorist" without solid sourcing

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Scott Mac 17:24, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Michael Hartson

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Michael Hartson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Carl Sixsmith (talk) 18:50, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
