Show Preview
Hello Pizzaboy22! Thanks for contributing to StrategyWiki! I'd like to point you to the "Show preview" button at the bottom of the edit page. When making an edit to a page, it is best to "Show preview" first. This way if there is something you want to change, you can fix it before saving the page. This in turn prevents clutter in the Recent Changes and helps sysops easily patrol edits. If you have any questions please feel free to ask at the Staff Lounge. Happy editing! --Procyon (Talk) 22:43, 2 July 2008 (CDT)

One day block
Hi Pizzaboy22. I'm sorry that I had to block you, but there are some serious concerns about your contributions to this site.


 * 1) We asked you to use the Show Preview button instead of saving each iteration of your work.  After we asked that of you, you proceeded to create a page, and save 44 different revisions of the page in less than 24 hours.  That is unacceptable, as it places an undue strain on the staff members who patrol the edits.  You must learn to use the Show Preview button, or you will continue to face blocks for longer periods of time.
 * 2) It is well documented throughout the Guide that all writing and contributions to SW are to be from a NPOV, or Neutral Point of View.  This means that the use of first person in your writing (I, me, myself) is prohibited.  As a result, the majority of what you wrote concerning character strategies is unusable.

After the block has expired, you have two choices: Either edit your strategies page to conform with SW rules and practices, or allow us to delete the page. No one is saying that you can't have a Pizzaboy22 SSBB strategy page. You simply can't have one on SW. All of the guides present on this site belong to all authors, not just one. That is the point of contributing to a wiki; you are contributing to a community project. We thank you for your understanding. Procyon (Talk) 09:34, 3 July 2008 (CDT)
 * I want to clarify that we'd love to let you continue contributing to StrategyWiki; it's just that your contributions need to be a little better thought-out, and conform more to our accepted manual of style (i.e. being NPOV). You've obviously got a lot of stuff to contribute to our SSBB guide, and it'd be a shame to lose you. Please turn things around when your ban expires. --DrBob (talk) 09:46, 3 July 2008 (CDT)
 * Excellent job cleaning the page up to be NPOV! I've taken it further, and moved the strategies to their respective character pages, which I think is much tidier and means more people will see them. Thanks for your hard work. :-) --DrBob (talk) 02:45, 5 July 2008 (CDT)
