User talk:Sendinsometanks
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Hello, Sendinsometanks
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.

[edit] Spoilers article
Hey, good job there with the Spoiler article. I was gonna give you 5 internets.
Except you didn't categorize it (see Special:Categories and pick the one best for your article and then add [[Category:ABCDEFG]] to the bottom of the article.
So here, have your very own internet.
Heartiez,

- Thanks. Sorry about forgetting to categorise it, I'll try and find an appropriate category. Sendinsometanks 12:37, 22 July 2007 (CDT)
- Actually, it looks like somebody's already put it in the drama-generating techniques category. I think it could go in the trolls category, too, though... Sendinsometanks 12:40, 22 July 2007 (CDT)
[edit] Orphan
Make sure you know the article isn't going to be baleeted before you do this (make it less shitty), because that would create dead links.
When you create a new page, namely Under Construction, please go to other related pages and link it to that page (sensibly please), otherwise, it becomes an Orphan, which nobody wants, as your page will never be seen, and it makes for lots of work for other people.
Please go around ED and fix your page, it will be appreciated by many. -- JailBait talk contribs 17:51, 2 September 2007 (CDT)
