Hey there, and welcome to MansonWiki :) thanks for the contributions so far, keep 'em coming :P Litso 20:57, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Concensus

Hey there, it's fine if you want to freely edit main namespace articles, but please don't alter the layout of areas like the main page without proposing it first. The same goes for new templates. We deliberately removed the featured article template (which we would change every week) because after awhile it would go months without being changed. That template was a no-go then, and we don't have enough "good articles" to use for featured articles daily (by "good articles" I mean those that aren't stub-class and present information that people could benefit from seeing on the main page). So to summarize, go crazy with editing main namespace articles, but changes to templates and pages that pertain to the wiki itself need to be discussed first, unless of course the change you want to make is a really urgent one (which I don't feel these are). I don't know, just go to the forums and ask how many people would like to participate in the featured article system if it were reinstated. That would be a good place to start.

Please Read This.

Stop uploading tiny pictures that no one can see when click and creating unnecessary articles. They are pointless and a waste of our bandwidth. Having to go through your common spelling mistakes and useless articles is getting rather tiresome. I understand you want to help out, and appreciate that. But you need to watch how the rest of us work and learn from there, instead of charging in with what you think are "new ideas" that in the long run have already been implemented in an article elsewhere.

RE: Just a thought

Hey Dave. I appreciate the offer, but at the moment we have four full admins running this website and another SysOp (wiki only admin). We've been discussing welcoming more admins to join the team but at the moment we don't think any more are needed. Also, and I don't mean to be blunt, but your English is rather poor (and that coming from someone from another country to someone who actually lives in the UK...). We're trying to maintain a certain level of quality in our articles, and unfortunately most of your edits so far have caused us a lot of work correcting them. If you're serious about becoming a member of the team I suggest you start using a spellchecker, and take a look at other pages as an example how to properly format them. Still, thanks for your interest. Litso 21:03, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

odd...

Ok, so I'm not criticizing you or anything, but I noticed you like SlipKnoT and Limp Bizkit. XD I just found that rather odd, seeing as how SlipKnoT hates Limp Bizkit. lol --Raven was here-- 08:01, 13 March 2010 (UTC)


Quizzes

Hi David, I think quizzes are a good idea. Though maybe not for the wiki itself. I'm thinking that maybe you could make a thread in the forums for quizzes, then we could link them on the MySpace, Twitter, Facebook updates to entice new readers to search the wiki for answers etc, great for promotion too. Making a quiz thread on the forums would also give people a place to submit answers too and encourage interaction there rather than cluttering up the wiki site. We're planning on giving the forums a redesign btw, once the new site design is up so quizzes there would be a great way to increase activity. ‡-me-‡ 12:55, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
