Hello, Heartdreamer

THIS IS SERIOUS; READ IT.

Congratulations on joining ED! You probably fit into one of these categories:

1. New User

Before making your first article look over ED:101. Try checking out random articles and fixing typos, grammar and/or bullshit where you find them before trying to make a new page. To start with, make multiple small edits to different articles until you have the hang of it. If you don't, it is unlikely that your article will survive for more than sixty seconds and you risk being molested by ED Sysops.

If you don't know anything about wiki formatting and code, please read ED:BASIC and the Style Guide. Take your time and start slowly.

2. Mediawiki Migrant If you're an experienced wiki user (probably from a Wikipedia offshoot) who knows how to operate, please read ED:101 for offical policy and ED:MIGRANT for tips on assimilation and basic rules.

Whichever you are, to successfully contribute to ED, please take some time to look around, note why other people get banned and don't act like they did.

Communication with other users prevents misunderstandings and can be done through talk pages, TJC and the mailing list.

If you plan on sticking around, feel free to make your mark on the ED:Map and join the all new ED Facebook, the ED Myspace the ED Bebo and follow the ED Twitter.

Hi. To be forward, you need to make My Immortal funnier and more dramatic plz. Nothing personal, but articles about irrelevant stuff like this with no inernet notability whatsoever are usually deleted as crap unless they are funny and dramatic. Try reading the ED style guide for tips (it's linked to in the welcome above) Miltopia 22:00, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

• I'll give you credit, this is OK because it's more... personal. Articles describing people, even with just a little humor, are great. BUt just to mention one crappy fanfic? YOu may want to talk about the fanfic in the Tara_Gilesbie article itself. Miltopia 22:05, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

• • Oh, and don't get too offended by our constant reversions, we just want to keep the wiki looking good. Some issues are inevitable since you're new, but don't repeat mistakes and noone will get pissed off at you.--yirimyah ♠ ^æ 22:11, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Heartdreamer

Hey, I deleted the page you just made with only a redirect. If you're working on a new article, make sure you have some content and tag it as a new article so it doesn't get deleted. --WM 17:37, 25 July 2007 (CDT)

[edit] VTech

what was the deal with the thing that you added to the warning of the VTech article? I took it out....The Nexopia link was dead anyway. --Philaster 16:18, 5 September 2007 (CDT)

• It was a link to the profile of a troll, but her profile was deleted. Thanks for taking it out. Heartdreamer 15:25, 8 September 2007 (CDT)
