Welcome!

Hello, Wikipedianfan, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as DreamWorks Experience, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Your contributed article, DreamWorks Experience

[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, DreamWorks Experience. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Kid's World. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Kid's World - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Themeparkgc  Talk  05:45, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dreamworks Experience

[edit]

Hi. I see you are eager to start creating articles about the DreamWorks Experience at Dreamworld. I'd just like to make a few points about it:

  1. At this stage most information about the area is entirely speculation.
  2. The ride names mentioned in the Kid's World article were mentioned by Dreamworld's CEO but they are far from confirmed as their official names.
  3. All of the rides at Kid's World did not shut on January 3 - some of them shut on February 1
  4. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball
  5. Articles should not be moved by cutting the contents and pasting it in a new location

At this stage the Kid's World article should stay as it is as some of the rides are still operating (Avalanche, Bumper Beach). Thank you Themeparkgc  Talk  08:09, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

February 2012

[edit]

Your recent editing history at Kid's World shows that you are in danger of breaking the three-revert rule, or that you may have already broken it. An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Breaking the three-revert rule often leads to a block.

If you wish to avoid being blocked, instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. You may still be blocked for edit warring even if you do not exceed the technical limit of the three-revert rule if your behavior indicates that you intend to continue to revert repeatedly. nancy 09:44, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi. When you recently edited Dreamworld, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Channel 9 (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Celebrity Big Brother

[edit]

Hi, please can you refrain from trying to rename the article, as there is not another article for a later series yet, therefore you are pre-empting ambiguation which is wrong. Please wait until such time as the article exists. Also, cutting and pasting information from one page to another is not the way to change and article's name. If you wanted to use that name for the article, an administrator would now have to move the page. But please don't try to move it at all yet. Thanks. –anemoneprojectors14:42, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

April 2013

[edit]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at The X Factor (UK), you may be blocked from editing. Davey2010 Talk 00:25, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This wasn't vandalism, but we don't need a new template. We should use the standard infobox, not one based on Big Brother, which has a totally different format. –anemoneprojectors10:57, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Big Brother Australia, you may be blocked from editing. —MelbourneStartalk 07:38, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

October 2014

[edit]

Information icon Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow, or move it unilaterally against naming conventions or consensus, as you did to Cheryl (Singer). This includes making page moves while a discussion remains under way. We have some guidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Please check the talk page first for any move discussions.
