 * ahh, okay. Sorry if my comment sounded too much like an accusation then, it wasn't meant to be - jjust sort of pointing it out, because every now and then, a nominations for deletion by a new account do turn out to have ulterior motives. Anyhow, welcome to wikipedia =) -- `/aksha 13:09, 12 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Quite alright. It's probably a good thing to point out normally, in any case. Em-El 13:15, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

"I'm not sure where to put an addition to my argument, so I'll put it with my other comments..." Since you are not sure where to put the addition, i've moved it to the bottom for you =).

Basically, on AfD discussions (and any other types of deletion discussions), new replies are always added with bullets to the bottom of the page. People generally start with a vote (delete/keep/redirect/merge/neutral in bold) when they first respond to an AfD. AfDs aren't actually meant to be votes, but the voting does make it easier for the administrator to work out what to do when they come to close a AfD.

Since it is a discussion page, editing or adding to comments after people have replied can sometimes seem rude. And it's hard for other people to notice when someone has added to a previous comment without looking at version histories. So if you decide you have something new to add, it's generally good to add it to the bottom of the page, starting with a "comment".

Since you begun this AfD, you're considered to have voted 'delete' by default. In general, if someone changes their mind after voting on an AfD, they will cross out their previous vote and replace it with a new one. So it'll look something like ( Delete Keep). Or sometimes people cross out their entire comment and then add a new vote and explaination to the bottom of the page.

ops, forgot to mention, things can be crossed out using the and  (remove the spaces) html tags. We use the crossing out because it's rude (and sometimes can be misleading) to remove a something after it's been said on a discussion page. -- `/aksha 06:20, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
