Invitation to SmashWiki
Hi there, Jughead. I'm a ardent follower of your Brawl and MK Wii videos, as well as of your work at SSB World (IGN). I'd like to cordially invite you to join SmashWiki, if you haven't already. I'm one of the site's sysops, Miles. I hope you'll come and help us out. 5280s (talk) 21:12, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Question about contributions
I'm just wondering; I notice you're making a lot of edits to your user page, but haven't made any edits to Wikipedia articles. Are you just using this space to host your comments, or do you need assistance with working with Wikipedia content? Please discuss your plans on this talk page.

Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page
 * How to write a great article
 * Manual of Style


 * I also wanted to point you to one of Wikipedia's policies regarding user pages and their content: NOT. It appears that you aren't aware of that rule. TheFeds 17:06, 8 July 2009 (UTC)


 * It also appears that you're editing from an unregistered (IP) account . Given that you've got a registered username, you should avoid using multiple accounts (see WP:SOCK for examples of acceptable and unacceptable use), even though your use of multiple accounts doesn't appear to be malicious.

Responses

Thank you. I have been using this space to host my comments and I do not intend to edit anything else. You are right in that I have overlooked that rule, but I do not know what to do at this point. Do you know where I can appropriately post my content elsewhere? Jughead87 (talk) 05:00, 10 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I notice you were invited to a Super Smash Bros. wiki; maybe they would be more able to host the page for you? (I don't know their policies, but you could check with an admin on that site, or have a look at their help section.) They're running the same MediaWiki software, so the page code should be the same (or very similar), and they have accounts with user pages that could be used for that purpose. The site theme is also much more closely related.


 * In general, user pages need to have a plausible association with Wikipedia—not necessarily a useful one, though. So for example, a blog about someone's life in general wouldn't be appropriate, but maybe a blog about someone's time spent on Wikipedia would be acceptable (though I'm not exactly sure who would care to write such a thing).


 * If you do manage to port your data over to the SSB wiki, edit your Wikipedia user page (not the talk page) and put db-user at the top—that's a request for deletion template that will clear your user page.


 * Also, just as a heads-up, if another user happens upon your user page, he might suddenly nominate it for deletion (there are three different ways, but essentially they all do the same thing). If that happens, and the content gets deleted and old revisions hidden (and you can't get at your code to transfer it), you can ask an administrator to restore a copy for you, but you'll have to explain that you're planning to move it to another site.

 * I have looked into your first suggestion about moving over to SmashWiki and contacted an admin on that site. Jughead87 (talk) 05:33, 11 July 2009 (UTC)


 * My request to move my content over to SmashWiki has been approved and I will make the move shortly. Again, thank you for pointing out that user policy to me. Jughead87 (talk) 04:12, 12 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for following through with that; sorry that Wikipedia couldn't be a bit more accomodating, but I think you've found a good place to post your information in SmashWiki. Your Wikipedia account remains active, so if you ever want to make edits, go ahead. By the way, you might be interested in the WP:NINTENDO user group (a "WikiProject") that works on Nintendo-related articles. TheFeds 21:09, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
