Talk:All Winners Comics

Don't just criticise and threaten. Explain what is wrong.

  There was a warning on this article which vanished when I changed something and saved the page. Every encyclopedia I have ever looked in has had lists (mostly stuff 99.9999% of the population does not give a damn about) though apparently the wikipedia does want to break the mold and not have lists? I do not have a clue as to what was being talked about on the warning "done in html format". Your advice is vague to say the least.
   What I do know is that if an article I spent a few days on can be casually deleted because it is not done "in the right style", then that is the last article I write for the wiki, and you might like to delete the All Select Index, the Black Hood comics and pulps pages, the ongoing Blue Ribbon comics, the Secret Service Operator 5 article and index, the Fighting American index, the Sexton Blake page which is most of my work and like the Film Fun page I had to update too as there was so little of it. Or the information I added to Superman and the Army Game, etc.
   Most writings here on these subjects skim the facts and just look nice and done in proper wiki style. I have seen a lot that I can add as knowledge of pre-1960 material here is sparse to say the least. I have had to correct a number of elementary facts and add to various articles. 
   But maybe you'd rather just have nice looking articles that are sometimes wrong or are written by people with only the most minor knowledge on some subjects? It'll save me months of work here. I will not do one more thing now till I know. I do not want to waste my time. Neufen01 20:17, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Response

I'm afraid your above note is itself an example of what we're trying to address: It appears as if you haven't taken time to learn how to input information according to Wikipedia policies and guidelines — which is much more than a matter of "style". And so we wind up with things like the above, a virtually unreadable, run-off-the-screen comment. O(r category links that don't actually link to categories, but to articles you've created, which aren't articles in the Wikipedia sense, but just checklists.

Please believe I was sincere when I said how much I personally welcome an editor with knowledge of Golden Age comics and the pulps. And please don't characterize my comments to you as "threats". The constructive gist has been: "Please learn Wikipedia procedures, and here are the links to do so".

I hope you take the time learn things, and then come back rarin' to go. Heaven knows we need good articles on Golden Age comics and the pulps. -- Tenebrae 20:42, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
