advise me about removing templates for categorization etc.
Politepunk 15:05, 26 February 2006 (UTC) I've edited the page at http://en.wikipedia.org/Sacrilege_%28band%29 - attampting to wikify, establish importance and add appropriate categories. Should I remove the templates from the page or wait for 'a grown-up' to do it?
update: I've "been bold" and done it ;-)
- Looks ok to me, if someone disagrees they can always readd them, similarly if you aren't sure there generally isn't a problem leaving them...

warning vandals
Hello Politepunk!
Good job on reverting vandalism! If you don't mind, it would be extremely helpful if you could also warn vandals to stop vandalizing on their talk pages as outlined on WP:CUV. You can also, if you wish, use user scripts at WP:US in order to add tabs to the top of user talk pages that will automatically add the appropriate warnings for you. If this is too much work for you, of course, it isn't neccessary to do this, although it would be helpful. Have fun, Where 03:57, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
