Ha ha, but this is an encyclopedia
Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Friday (talk) 20:55, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry G didn't know about the sandbox. Chars

Alright cool. One question though - How did you find the "article" so quickly? I reckon it was up for about 30 seconds before it was taken down.


 * There you go- you can practice editing on your user page all you want. Friday (talk) 21:09, 16 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Anyone can go to Special:Newpages and see a list of newly-created pages. People with administrative access can delete pages.  Since I'm no great writer, I volunteer my time doing tasks that don't require much writing skill- including looking at new pages, and deleting those that are unencyclopedic for whatever reason.  Another pointer- sign your talk page posts by hitting four ~ marks in a row- it'll replace them with your username and a datestamp when you save the page.  (Don't sign article edits, though.)
