Well I see you have signed your last message! You're learning. Do BE BOLD .... you're a newbie. Just say sorry afterwards and try not to make the same mistake twice. You can learn a lot by just trying things Victuallers (talk) 22:04, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
No not bold as in Bold but bold as is "just this side of reckless":-) Victuallers (talk) 22:15, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
- I mean - Make some mistakes. Your edits so far have all been to my talk page. Go and find an article and change it.... you are allowed to Victuallers (talk) 22:43, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
- Excellent and Joan Waste article still seems to be OK. Keep it up Victuallers (talk) 23:48, 18 August 2010 (UTC) PS - Your edit for CambrianRam looks a bit odd. Are you sure that his/her name?
I, surprised. I thought most areas had a page in Derby Victuallers (talk) 00:10, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
New Zealand
Oh yes, you re right there is no article. Another related suggestion is Halloween. There will be a call for horror based articles. In the Joan Waste article there is a mention of the "Ordeal Pit". Were other people executed there? Victuallers (talk) 08:49, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
...looking good. See Derby School for a lead on who Wakelin de Derby is. I'm nominally on holiday but if you give me a few days I will set up a temporary place on wikipedia that you can "play" in. Good idea? Victuallers (talk) 18:31, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

- OK, to start a new page you just follow a red wikilink such as this: madeupthing so you can see what I mean and then follow the instruction. Or you can just search for the name of the place you are trying to add and it will say you can start the page. LilHelpa (talk) 23:16, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
- Just open two windows, edit your page that is ready, select and copy the text. Edit the Derby page, place the cursor where you want and paste it in. LilHelpa (talk) 23:27, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
- Ah, I see (from looking at your contributions) that you are trying to add the page to the template. Hey, are you sure that long name is appropriate? Also, is your new area similar to the other areas in the template and not overlapping? LilHelpa (talk) 00:05, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
- I asked User:Jellyman to give you a hand with this as he has edits in this template. LilHelpa (talk) 00:28, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

- Hello, as you've seen I added your page to the template and also altered the page title in line with normal Wikipedia style. I was in a bit of a rush that day so I didn't have time to contact you as well before going ahead, sorry. Some good info on the New Zealand page as well, by the way, although if I can offer a little advice, it is better to have more prose text rather than lists where possible. The article will also need to be referenced, when I get the chance I can help with that. Do get in touch if you need any more help or advice! Jellyman (talk) 16:26, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
Try this
If you click here then you will see an area where you can create a New Zealand article without anyone seeing it until you are ready. You cam try ideas out there.... obviously .....if you want to Victuallers (talk) 21:28, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
