Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! 220  of  Borg 13:07, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Embedding external links in text
Hello, I'm 220 of Borg. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of Colin Moriarty. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. 220  of  Borg 13:09, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Colin Moriarty & Colin Moriarty (Internet celebrity)
Hi

Any information on why we suddenly have several (~3) new Wikipedia editors making two biographical pages on the same person at the same time?--220  of  Borg 13:21, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Copied your replies on my talk page back to here. Easier to keep discussion in one place.
 * Hi, this is Kayne Fegeley. My reply is that I was unaware of a rule of no external links in the body of the wiki as I've seen other pages who have done so. So I put the external links there and what not. But when I came back and saw that you edited them out, I was like "Oh". But I decided to put them back because after you had edited it, there must have been a mistake because they were left as red links and so, still not realizing there was a rule against external links in the body of the wiki, decided to put the links back. I acknowledge the mistakes on my part. Sorry.


 * No worries. The pages were red because of the possibility someone might make a page on them. If I put  around GameOverGreggy, to link to that page, but it doesn't exist (yet) it looks like GameOverGreggy this.


 * Don't forget to sign your posts! ~ (type four tildes) is all you need to do, the MediaWiki software will then show your signature.220  of  Borg 13:52, 25 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh ok. I understand now. Just thought it looked bad to have multiple red colored links to nowhere (technically nowhere). It gave the me impression of something that would be unprofessional. Kayne Fegeley (talk) 14:02, 25 June 2014 (UTC)


 * I think the reason 'embedded' external inks are not wanted is that some people try to link every mention of their company back to their website, what we call Linkspam. Also we generally only link the first mention of any company or other Wikipedia(WP) page, otherwise the pages end up a sea of blue text links! --220  of  Borg 14:05, 25 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah. Understandable. Kayne Fegeley (talk) 14:16, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Reply to your message about multiple Colin Moriarty pages
This is Kayne Fegeley. There is most likely multiple Colin Meoriarty pages for the reason that on an episode of The GameOverGreggy Show posted at 0:00 PST/3:00 EST on YouTube when Colin Moriarty himself asked of people to make him a Wikipedia page, and thus how the internet works, multiple fans of Colin and the show decided "Hey, I'll make a brand new page for him!" instead of assisting the already created pages in creating a proper page. And here we are with multiple pages.


 * OMG! I hope another 20 people don't have the same idea! :-\ 220  of  Borg 13:52, 25 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh god. That'd be a big mess. Kayne Fegeley (talk) 14:02, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Well as far as I know, no new pages, but a lot of new accounts and IPs editing Moriarty's page.--220  of  Borg 01:58, 26 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I was starting to see that too. Kayne Fegeley (talk) 07:49, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
