User talk:CShuts14

Welcome!

Hi, CShuts14, Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, and welcome to the ranks of Wikipedians! My name is BorgHunter, one of very many administrators around here, and let me be the first to welcome you here. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page. And don't worry—you may well have a bunch of questions after that avalanche of info I just threw at you. Yeah, Wikipedia has a bit of a culture and etiquette of its own, but you get used to it!

Additional tips

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

• If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
• You can sign your name using four tildes (~~~~). Using the four tildes to sign your sig is policy whenever you make comments on a talk page or vote on something.
• You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
• You should also consider (if you have not already) creating a user page for yourself, to tell us a bit about you. Don't worry if it's small at first -- most people tend to grow their user pages over a period of time, much like Wikipedia articles. Don't expect everything to happen all at once!
• If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the articles for deletion page. If you think a page should be moved to a different title, please list it at requested moves.
• If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
• If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any problems or questions. Alternatively, you can place "{{helpme}}" on your user talk page (this page), and someone will arrive shortly to answer your questions. Good luck, and happy wiki-ing!

Staples

Hey there Christian! You have quite a bit of information to add to the Staples, Inc. article. However, Wikipedia is first and foremost an encyclopedia, and some of the information you provided is a bit too specific for an encyclopedia article. As I suggested in my edit summary, perhaps all that info could go in one subsection, with a couple sentences apiece devoted to the topics? For example, the different Rewards levels don't need to be included in the article, though a sentence or two on what Rewards offers (Rewards checks, free shipping) and the intent behind the policy (customer loyalty) could be included. ...By any chance, do you work at Staples? :)

If you have any questions or need anything, just let me know! Once more, welcome to Wikipedia! —BorgHunter (talk) 03:46, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

lol...why yes, I do. I was bored one day and I decided to update the Staples page. Thanks for the sugesstions.

So do I. I've been a year with Store 212 in Pinellas Park, Florida, though soon to possibly relocate to a store in Chicago, or else quit Staples altogether. In any case, I'll see you around! Grab my IM screennames or email address from my user page if you feel like chatting. —BorgHunter (talk) 19:57, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

User:CShuts14

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to your user page (User:CShuts14), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy).

Please note that the purpose of a user page is not as personal homepage or Wikipedia is not a general hosting service, but as way for active editors of Wikipedia to introduce themselves to other editors. If you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues here or on my user talk page. You may remove the deletion notice, and the page will not be deleted for the moment, but note that it may still be sent to Miscellany for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.
