I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! SatuSuro 00:55, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Lies
editHey good start - lots of editing to do - you need to be very careful - some buzzards may come and pick the article apart to about a 10th of the size due to unencyclopediac tone/style/content - wikipedia is not a blog - most of what you have there is better on a blog. Also - categories are not done like that - watch what i do for that! look in the edit mode and reverse engineer. Dont get downhearted if someone blasts your work out of the water - try again - cheers SatuSuro 00:58, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
{{helpme}} to SatuSuro - thanks for your help. I am aware that this text is too long and anecdotal - it's ok if someone shortens it down to the relevant info - it's the text I wrote for the Lies website (I was one of the editors). The question is - I've done the article, but I'm having trouble getting links to on menu/index pages. For instance, when I put it in Magazines-Australian-defunkt - it didn't give me the option of putting in its alphabetical place, the new link to it is at the top of the page, which isn't correct, and I'm hoping you or someone will correct that.Cangorongo (talk) 01:13, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Just pplaced the defunct magazine category at the base of the article - check that SatuSuro 01:17, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
{{helpme}} Hi SatuSuro again. Thanks for that - but why is the option to edit that index not visible, and is it acceptable to just place an entry and wait for someone who's able to sort it out? And another one regarding Lies: would it be appropriate to put it into the index page 'Satirical Magazines' - there's several in there which are also defunkt/not current, but anyway, the paper magazine is defunkt but the website is there with free pages, some new editions and plans to put up some of my recent satirical work. If not fair enough I won't make a fuss.Cangorongo (talk) 01:29, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- Categories are added at the bottom of the article, like [[Category:Defunct magazines of Australia]]. For more information, see Help:Categories.--Werdan7T @ 01:33, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
{{helpme}} SatuSuro I am off to bed now I'm in the UK it's 2.43am, but I'll get that Lies article into much better shape in the next few days - thanks for your helpCangorongo (talk) 01:44, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
{{helpme}} SatuSuro I've just given the Lies article a thorough going over - it should be more appropriate for wikipedia now. When do the comments boxes at the top get re-appraised? Also - there's no citations or external reference sources for this entry - because there's no other mention of this topic on the web.
- Hi there, if that's the case it could be original research which is not allowed on wikipedia. Also, you can remove the comment boxes your self if you feel that they are no longer valid. The Helpful One (Review) 15:00, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Cinema Prague
editIf you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 12:53, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
{{helpme}} I have just placed an article about a fairly well known band - Cinema Prague - and it's immediately received a 'speedy deletion' notice. Looking at the criteria for a speedy deletion, I don't think it deserves it!!Cangorongo (talk) 13:14, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- You can establish notability by referencing the article with reliable sources. You might want to check Wikipedia's notability guidelines for musical acts to make sure this band satisfies them. Best, Gr1st (talk) 14:30, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Deleted talk from Talk:Cinema Prague
editI have place this new entry for Cinema Prague. It is little more than a stub, I agree.
I can't see what the problem is - it is a well known and well respected band with a long history and four albums. The article is not thorough, but it is basically a stub.
How can I indicate the 'importance' of this band, without using language which is opinionated and unbiased?
I think 'speedy deletion' is not appropriate for a posting done in good faith about a topic which has a legitimate right to be there.Cangorongo (talk) 13:05, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- It may be in good faith, but it still completely fails to meet the minimum criteria for inclusion. Notability for a band means that it's important enough to have been reviewed by major publications, etc. See WP:BAND. DMacks (talk) 15:43, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Lies Magazine
editA proposed deletion template has been added to the article Lies Magazine, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Cinema Prague
editAm currently working on a draft article for Cinema Prague and when I did a quick search found you had already created (& had deleted) an article on the band. I intended to expand and fully reference the article before I post it - have found that if you can justify the article in the article it avoids having it deleted. As you can see I have taken some of your words in my 1st draft and am more than happy if you want to add anything before I post it. Dan arndt (talk) 00:20, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- Have done some further updates to Cinema Prague but have struggled to find verifiable third party references - have cobbled together a lot of the information for various sources. If you know of any info regarding the band's early history (i.e. original members, original name etc) then feel free to add it to the draft. The lead sentence needs to be sourced (have used your words) as it reads like an opinion. Also I am guessing that all the band's releases were independent recordings as I have been unable to find any label details. Also if you come across any reviews/interviews verifying their international performances that would assist. Dan arndt (talk) 03:34, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
