We're trying to keep the phrase "ARG" off of the wiki - keep the wiki "in the game". on [[Year Zero Research]], there are several uses of the term. I'll change some of them, but there are some (related to the [[Dictionary]]) which I can't figure out how to rephrase it. If you can, you're more than welcome to, but if you don't, I'm afraid it (the dictionary page) will be deleted. --[[User:Tony|Tony]] 13:40, 16 February 2007 (PST)

Let's focus on what we have now for articles. [[Special:Statistics|With about 1,730 articles]], let's give ourselves some time to expand the articles we have currently, especially the [[Nine Inch Nails]] article.

|style="color:#000"|
Wikipedia can be a great resource to study when writing NinWiki articles, but it's important to remember to '''never copy word for word what Wikipedia says'''. It's not illegal, it's just bad practice. Let's build a great wiki from the ground up :-).
