User talk:Frizzymaster

Here are some tips to help you get started:

If you haven't already, please add your name to the new user log to let others know a little about yourself.
Read the article describing how to edit a page and feel free to experiment in the Sandbox.
When editing pages, use the preview button before submitting and try to fill in the summary box for every edit.
Eventually, read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk or ask me on my talk page.
Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).

It is considered bad taste to sign articles. You should only sign talk pages. You might also want to look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page#The_wiki_markup so you won't have to use HTML when there is a simpler equivalent.

Judging from your talk page, I see abrasiveness is not one of your more uncommon traits.

Judging from your reaction, I see common sense is not one of your more uncommon traits.

With regards to signatures: have you ever seen a real encyclopedia? Article authors often sign their work. Calling it "vain" is therefore insulting and rather inaccurate.

This is not a "real encyclopedia" in the traditional sense. Besides, your contributions are recorded on the history page.

With regards to HTML markup: Wikipedia's code seems counterintuitive to me.

That's not my, nor anyone else's problem.

I've already learned HTML, so why not use it?

Because we have standards and policies here.

The same result is given on the page and is more universally recognized on the web.

But it is not the same on the edit page, which is why we use wiki markup.

It may also help decrease the burden on the Wikipedia server.

Wrong. HTML causes *more* of a burden because the software has to validate it.

I'm re-adding my signature.

I'm removing it again, as I would expect others to do if you continue to insert it.

Note: These comments where written by Frizzymaster. He did not sign the original post.

You should also respond to comments on the page they were written.

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Seska, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Seska.
