Good luck, and have fun. --Bonadea (talk) 12:20, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New Section

Thanks for your help I am green and must be annoying, but I want to fix all the Cambodia/Cambodian-American articles, as I taught there for two years and have a good idea of what Wikipedia needs to represent. I am working on shortening the list of notable Cambodian Americans now. Agiambrone (talk) 18:02, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

No problem I had exact same problem trying to submit something for deletion recently and someone rescued me... I'm green here but have worked on wiki format elsewhere before - you seem to be having some problems with bits of wiki editing (previous message was in middle of someone elses comment box till I moved it). Do try checking things with 'Show Preview' before saving it - then if they aren't coming up as you thought they would try and adjust. -Hunting dog (talk) 18:14, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks I'm getting the hang of it slowly. I will preview this one to make sure it looks right. Check out my editing of List_of_Cambodian_Americans and let me know if I edited it according to accepted policies. 18:20, 25 May 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Agiambrone (talk • contribs)

You didn't break anything on the formatting, which is always good! But I'm not qualified to say it the people removed are notable or not. I'd recommend introducing yourself on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cambodia and /or starting a discussion on Talk:List_of_Cambodian_Americans so people know you're acting in good faith. Deleting things without showing why you're doing it is what tends to get you reverted as vandalism. As I'm only a couple of weeks older than you on here please don't assume I'll know correct answer to everything... (but try to get the hang of signing your posts with the four tildes thing it says to do - do you have problem finding that on your keyboard?) -Hunting dog (talk) 18:37, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lucy in the sky

Well done in noticing that it was a copyright infringement. You could have nominated it as Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion as it is a blatant copyright infringement. Or you could Be bold and simply revert it. These are just tips for the future. But keep up the good work and feel free to ask me any questions. Ziphon (ALLears) 08:13, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! :) If the copyrighted info had been the initial content, I would have gone for Speedy, wasn't quite sure as it had prior history. Favoured deletion over revert as the redirect didn't look that useful and being there might be more likely to encourage the band advertising to slip back in! Not being 100% sure I went discussion....-Hunting dog (talk) 08:20, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
