User talk:TheVillager

Welcome!

Welcome to Nookipedia, TheVillager!
We're glad you've taken the step to create an account and edit our wiki! With an account you'll now be able to easily edit pages, participate in discussions, watch pages, track your edits, and have access to additional editing tools. You can also create and edit your own user page. If you intend to continue editing, here are some things to keep in mind: Read our wiki's general use and editing, and privacy policies. Preview your changes before saving them to avoid the need for making corrections afterwards. Use talk pages to resolve editing disputes instead of undoing or reinstating changes repeatedly without discussion. Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (~~~~). This code will automatically leave your name and a timestamp. You can find editing tutorials and further information about our policies on the help pages.
Where to start?	Check out the The Roost for the latest discussions, or consult the to-do list on the Main Page to see tasks that need to be worked on.
Questions?	Feel free to ask a member of staff directly, post your question on the The Roost talk page, or ask about it on our Discord server. We're always happy to help!
Thank you for your contributions, and have a great time! -- Nookipedia Staff

Editing

Hey Villager - looking at your recent edits, here are some key points to keep in mind, outlined in our policy that you have claimed to read several times:

• Edits should not be claimed with a signature, as also pointed out by Will above (see here)
• Articles should not be written from a first person point of view, but rather, a third person encyclopedic view. Saying things like "I recommend" and "good luck!" are unencyclopedic. Take a look at other articles for examples of writing style.
• All content submitted to the wiki should be original work - that is, written in your own words. Copying and pasting from other sources is definitely not allowed. While Wikipedia's content does have a compatible license to Nookipedia, it is still advised that everything submitted be original work.

Please re-read the rules before editing. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks, ~SuperHamster Talk 19:38, 24 June 2013 (EDT)

Just a question, if we were to use wikipedia content, how would we credit it? Would we do it via a reference linking to the wikipedia page? Thanks, Will1982 is awesome 19:50, 24 June 2013 (EDT)

We actually have a template to use for that purpose, which goes at the bottom of the article: Template:Wikipedia. There are a couple of articles it's used on. Ideally, though, it is best to create original content for the sake of consistency and simplicity, among other reasons. Otherwise, yep, copied content with a compatible license could be attributed with a footnote. ~SuperHamster Talk 21:20, 24 June 2013 (EDT)

Talk Page Content

Hi, Villager, I'd like to remind you again not to remove past discussions from your talk page, especially official comments; continuing to do so could result in another, longer block. Instead of taking out comments, it'd be better to take their advice and use it to improve; they really are meant to help you out. Thanks, -Sky (talk) 11:59, 18 July 2013 (EDT)
