In-universe info./trivia
Please look at Wikipedia's guidelines for writing about elements of fiction. Many of your additions, besides lacking citations to reliable sources, offer only in-universe information (often WP:TRIVIA) about the topic. Please keep in mind that Wikipedia focuses on real-world, "out-of-universe" treatment of elements of fiction; you might find projects like the Memory Alpha wiki a closer fit to your interests. --EEMIV (talk) 04:31, 11 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Happy to help; let me know if I can do anything to help. Also, please sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~ ) at the end. Thanks! --EEMIV (talk) 04:51, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Sig
Please stop using the StarTrek Wikiproject userbox in your signature. You can put the box on your user page at User:Cdmajava, but plopping it down every time you write something or sign with ~ creates clutter and is an abuse of userboxes.

Additionally, you don't need to create a "new section" every time you put something on another editor's user page -- and general custom is that when an editor initiates a "conversation" by posting something on your user page, you will respond right below on that same page. So, if you have any response to the request/observations I've outlined above, please just hit the "edit" text to the far right of the bold "Sig" section header (or hit "edit this page" at the top) and respond here. Your page is on my watchlist; I'll see any additions you make.

Thank you! --EEMIV (talk) 05:26, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Contact info.
Rather than listing your e-mail address is plaintext, you might instead want to go to WP:EMAIL and follow the directions there to allow Wikipedia users to contact you that way. An "E-mail this user" link will appear on the left-side toolbox, and you won't then be planing your e-mail address right on your user page for spambots and the like to find. --EEMIV (talk) 18:53, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

How do I make new pages?
I'm trying to make an image subpage, but don't know how. When I looked up how to do it, I just got confused. Please help.cdmajava There are always possibilities... 23:14, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Just go to a page that doesn't yet exist, and where the "edit" tab should be, you'll see a "create this page" tab. Hit it, and you'll reach the edit form for creating the page. An easy way to get to the non-existent page is to link to it (like User:Cdmajava/Foo), hit preview, and click the link.

Oh, and you should see this:

WikiProject Artemis Fowl Status Table
You don't need to update WikiProject Artemis Fowl/Participants/Table each time you need to make an edit. Usually it's only updated about once a week or so, that's all that is needed to keep track of who's active or not. Calvin 1998 (t·c) 03:06, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
