Hey, just wondering, why are you blanking pages? --Trees 20:40, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

In reply to your post: Ah, well if you're working on "cleaning", I would suggest you mark them for deletion instead, rather than just remove all the text. --Trees 00:24, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

hey john vaughan it's jordan just put:

{ { Delete } } (but without any spaces)

at the top of a page and it marks it for deletion, so later the site guy can just go through and remove the ones that have been marked

i love you john vaughan nd me nd arthur nd nick mast shuld hav a tip wiki page


Hi. First, you can sign your comments by using two dashes and four tildes (--~~~~), that way it's easier for me to tell 1) when something was posted 2) who posted it. I'm not requiring you to, but, just a general suggestion. Otherwise, it looks like Jordan already posted how to mark it. Also, if you find a page that is too short but could be expanded, you could mark it as a stub: {{stub}} I think. Last but not least, if you find some pages on individual TiPsters, they can be moved to the Index (or you could mark them with delete, and I'd be happy to do that) Thanks. Sorry for this long-winded message, but I hope it helps? --Trees 17:31, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

You have been blessed with sysop/administrator rights. Please use them well. --Anthony 02:45, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Hey, sorry about those pages that were made about people, i was going fast and forgot that they should be added to the index instead, my bad... -- 01:58, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

There is one with the title Hersh Trivedi too, i will move it, but you might want to mark it

Please continue to use discretion when creating pages. -- Anthony 04:50, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

No, that was an awesome idea! Thanks a lot for that. I mean things like . -- Anthony 04:56, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
You know, no one is going to blame you for deleting your own articles. I always considered TAs and RCs to be TIPSters, but really the reason that there isn't one is because I don't really have anything against pages being made for tip staff. All this being said, I think most other people around here are a lot more gung-ho about deleting things than I am. I don't really see much value in a random tipster's vanity page, but I don't see the harm in it either. The TIPSter index was an attempt at a middle ground between deletion and leaving the short vanity articles, but personally I would rather see the time that is currently spent cleaning up vanity pages put into writing more quality content and improving site navigation. -- Anthony 05:06, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
