Cruentus Nex
Ahoy, Float! Your page at Cruentus Nex is being considered for deletion because it doesn't have any content on it that can't be revealed by an /fwho in-game. Who are you mates, and where did you come from? What are some of your flag's goals, and what interesting things have you done to get where you are? Filling in the details such as these make crew and flag pages valuable additions. --AtteSmythe 14:24, 9 October 2006 (PDT)

portrait images
If you're going to upload further pirate portraits to the wiki, please include   in the upload summary, making sure to include the double curly brace. Thanks.--Fiddler 19:16, 9 October 2006 (PDT)
 * Please continue to include the portrait image tag. There is a reminder about tags on the upload page as well. --Guppymomma 07:20, 5 February 2007 (PST)
 * Again, do NOT upload portraits without adding the   in the upload summary. --Guppymomma 17:08, 17 February 2007 (PST)

Deletion of Guppymommas Message
Sorry but I didn't like the "flow" of that message. =x I totally get what it means though.
 * Again, we do not add "by XYZ" lines to articles. A history of every single edit to an article can be found in its history tab.  Please stop readding the by lines.  --Guppymomma 20:11, 10 October 2006 (PDT)
 * This is an encyclopedia, not a newspaper. Quite simply, it's how we do things here. Bylines are out of place, and if everyone put one on every of their contributions, half the content would be signatures. If you would like to do things differently, you may wish to register a geocities account instead of trying your luck here. I can appreciate that you do work hard on your articles, but it's inappropiate to add "bylines" or signatures to articles, and it's likely to stay that way. --Ponytailguy 21:23, 10 October 2006 (PDT)
 * A further note: anyone interested in the history of a page can click the "history" tab at the top. They'll be able to see that you contributed to a page, and with a few more clicks, they'll see exactly which parts you wrote. --Barrister 00:29, 11 October 2006 (PDT)

The "by" lines
Ahoy! (I've copied this note from Guppymomma's talk page.) Edits to articles are not signed because this is an encyclopedia. Anything you write here becomes public domain and is open to be edited to other people. Generally, it's a bad idea to consider any articles as "yours" - they will be edited by other people at some point. If you start from the beginning knowing that you're offering information up to the public, it helps to avoid hurt feelings later if your edits are ever reverted or changed by other people. This is not a glamorous hobby. ;) It's true that most readers will never know who actually created the article - that's the way wikis work. As you noted, the wiki software automatically tracks edits to pages, so adding a note to the main article is redundant. Hope that helps clear it up, and welcome to the wiki. :) --Zava 03:51, 11 October 2006 (PDT)

"Audacity"
If you want total control over the appearance of your page, and final say on what does and doesn't get onto it, you don't want the YPPedia, you want private web hosting. If you want to use our services, you'll have to play by our rules, and one of these rules is that we don't use bylines, at least not for article contents. (Attributing fan art to an artist or "Here's an important quote from Homullus" is different. Claiming total credit for an entire article, on the other hand...) --Ponytailguy 06:16, 11 October 2006 (PDT)

Excuse me?
I don't mean to cause a scene, but I'm allowed to leave messages on any talk page I like, thank you very much. Just because you're "done talking to me" (which, since you're continuing to do so, evidently you aren't) doesn't mean I'm no longer allowed to have something to say. --Ponytailguy 19:01, 11 October 2006 (PDT)

To Ponytailguy
See how Zava politely and kindly told me what you tried and failed at? (rudely failed at)You need to set a better example for others and not include personalization in the way you speak when giving tips or explaining an edit, buddy. Thank you and goodnight. P.S. I'm trying to stop talking to you but apparantly youre in love with me or something cause you wont leave me alone =_= --Cammymylove 19:02, 11 October 2006 (PDT)

Thanks much!
Hoya. I'm glad to hear that I made sense. It was very early in the morning for me when I wrote that note. ;) PTG is a friend, but I don't need to speak with him. I'm pretty sure he's aware that the discussion should not be continued. As you may have noticed, he's displaying admirable self control and has not responded to your last message. It'd really be best if you did the same - there's no need to call him rude and such. Talk pages may be personal property, but they're still very public. Sorry your introduction to the wiki was such an eventful one, and if there's anything else I can help with, let me know. :) --Zava 19:21, 11 October 2006 (PDT)

Line breaks
The wiki uses its own special formatting where it ignores single line breaks. If you want a single line break, you've gotta use. I'll illustrate this below if you're not sure what I mean. I don't think we've got this on our editing help page, I'll have to add it sometime. I hope this bit helps with formatting pages. --Guppymomma 20:05, 11 October 2006 (PDT)
