Any suggestions?
Backing up Warhammer Articles
editI've read you have the three weapons and vehicles articles for Tau, Necron and Imperium backed up.
There are also a few more articles that need backing up, as they have been nominated for AfD:
- Space Marine Scouts
Done - Adeptus Mechanicus
- Cult Mechanicus
- Iron Hands Done
- Gene Seed
- Officio Assassinorum

If I may take the opportunity to ask, how do you back up articles? Copy paste?

- No, a little better than that... I wrote a script in python that uses Special:Export to export the entire history of the article. I have it hosted here. This allows admins at other wiki's to use Special:Import on the file and import the article and history. Gives you an article on the new wiki that looks like it's always been there. Of course, you need to add a note to the bottom saying you got it from Wikipedia. --Falcorian (talk) 17:12, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Your recent edits
editHi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 18:37, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Undoing the redirect
editSince you don't believe those articles should be redirected, I'm going to mass AFD the lot. just some advanced notice. --Allemandtando (talk) 17:33, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
- My mistake, inadvertently clicked 'save' when I was copy and pasting the information. Carry on AlmondManTwo (talk) 18:00, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
