April 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Augustus Sinclair (Bioshock) has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://bioshock.wikia.com/wiki/Plasmid, http://http://bioshock.wikia.com/wiki/Vita-Chamber. If the external link you inserted or changed was to an external Wiki, then please note that these links should generally not be included (see 'links to avoid' #12).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 00:12, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Writing about fictional characters

Thank you for your contributions, and I know that it can be confusing around here when you are new. Wikipedia is not a game guide, but a serious encyclopedia, and as such, articles on fictional elements must have real-world information emphasized, namely creation and reception info. For an example of this arrangement, see an article I wrote: Nathan Drake (character). Of course, articles are not expected to be this long, but you can see the format I described. Items in fiction should not have an article is the only information given is of a fictional nature. かんぱい！ Scapler (talk) 00:24, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Augustus Sinclair (Bioshock)

The article Augustus Sinclair (Bioshock) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Contested redirect. Article contains no real-world content and thus does not demonstrate notability.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. かんぱい！ Scapler (talk) 01:50, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
