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 :-).

The Nine Inch Nails discography is expansive and can be confusing. A Wiki is the perfect place to catalog, in detail, each NIN release and NIN song. To help out:
 +
*Create song pages using the [[NinWiki:SongLayout|Song Layout]], which will standardize song pages.
 +
*Add the [[:Category:NIN Songs|NIN Songs]] category to songs and the [[:Category:NIN Discography|NIN Discography]] category to releases and etc.
 +
*<u>Do not</u> add links to mp3 files of songs. If you ''really'' think the article needs it, ask an [[NinWiki:Staff|Admin]] first.
 +
*Add [[Year Zero]] stuff as it comes up. After all, that's what this Wiki was created for originally!

Testing!

Hey, this is how you use your talk page to communicate with people. Just go to their talk page, type a message, and leave --~~~~ after the message for your name and the time to be put in automatically! The person will be notified. Please note, that if YOU reply below this message, I won't get it. It's common practice on Wikipedia to reply to both the one on your Discussion page AND on the page of the person who sent you the message. --Tony 19:48, 13 February 2007 (CST)

Year Zero Research Page Link

Hey, it's hard to immediately find the research page, so under the heading Year Zero on the main page, could you put something like:

"The Year Zero Research Pageis being constantly updated to track recent developments, theories, and essentially organize the ARG into a cohesive storyline"

Of course you can edit that however you'd like ;)

-Chantene

Props

Thanks for making the song page temp! A few of us have been trying hard to find a good looking "standard" by which the song pages should go by after they were all created with three or four different formats. X3 I'll continue updating the song pages slowly when I have the time. =3 --GrayscaleRain 11:13, 23 February 2007 (PST)
