User talk:Stardance

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

Here are some tips to help you get started:


 * To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type &#126;&#126;&#126; (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (4 tildes).
 * Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
 * If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
 * Follow the Simplified Ruleset
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Remember Neutral point of view
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

Comments at AfD
Stardance, thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you've added rather a lot of comments to Articles for deletion/Pleasantblue. I understand your wanting to protect a page in which you have a personal stake, but it makes it difficult for the administrator who must close the AfD if there's too much there not related to building a consensus. As the main AfD page says, "If you are the primary author or otherwise have a vested interest in the article, say so openly, and clearly base your recommendations on the deletion policy." If you want to change people's minds, it would be a good idea to base your arguments on that policy. You might also find Guide to deletion useful. I hope you'll find lots of ways to contribute to Wikipedia, not just at AfD. The links above given you by Meelar should be helpful. Chick Bowen 04:19, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
