User talk:Wikiert/Archive 1

Hi Wikiert. Here is the text I posted in reply to your post at WP:NCHD: Templates must be created in the template namespace, meaning a template's name must start with "Template:". Once you choose a name, you can enter it into the search field, click "Go", and then click on "Create the page" on the resulting search failure page, or create it using using various other page creation methods (see Help:Starting a new page). That's it for creation. Since templates serve such diverse purposes, what can and should go into the template itself would require more explanation on your part. For general pages which you might find useful, see Help:A quick guide to templates, Help:Template and m:Help:Advanced templates. I am also posting a welcome template below which has a lot of useful links. Cheers. --Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 16:19, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Re. WikiProject Chesterfield
Hi I would love to contribute to the WikiProject you have created, sounds a great idea! I will look into it tomorrow as I'm really busy in real life at the moment, but I'll look forward to it! Regards, Schumi555 (talk) 18:23, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * WikiProject Chesterfield is a great idea, but I believe there is not much scope for it, i.e. the number of articles that would be covered by the project, especially as WikiProject Derbyshire is around. A quick look at Category:WikiProject Cities shows only 29 cities in the world with WikiProjects, all of which are much larger in size than Chesterfield (I cannot find 1 town with a WikiProject). At present, I feel that joining WP:Derbyshire and contributing to articles relating to Chesterfield from there would be much more beneficial than working on WP:Chesterfield. Regards, Schumi555 (talk) 14:33, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi Ive been asked to comment. I see the comments above and have to agree. Wikiproject East Midlands (last time I looked) was pretty abandoned. Wikiproject Derbyshire is just about viable although even then we have people who think we are not doing anything. If we divide our efforts into changing articles to be labelled "wikiproject Chesterfield" then that is going to occopy one person to little improvement in the wiki. The Chesterfield articles are great (Ive written a few myself e,g. Samuel Pegge) but I would prefer to see you to drag the Derbyshire project to have a chesterfield bias, arther than leave it to cover all articles that are not Chesterfield ... we could do with the attention Victuallers (talk) 16:17, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Have a good motto idea? Share it here, comment on some of the mottos there or just pass this message onto your friends.

re: Motto Revision
Hey, no problem, man, and thanks for the Kudos. The mottos need to be clearly relevant to Wikipedia, so the trick is to find some relevant links (usually in the Wikipedia Namespace and pipe (|) them in. Thank you for contributing such a great motto, and I hope you continue to work with us.  :-)  Also, if you like the revised version, don't forget to offer your support to it.

POWERHOUSE USA
You tagged the POWERHOUSE USA page as A7, but it should've been tagged as G11, because it makes some assertion of significance, thus not eligible for A7, but it is unambiguous advertising, thus failing G11. Thanks, --Patar knight - chat/contributions 14:40, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
