Welcome
Hi, welcome to Dexter Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Dexter Morgan page.

If you need help, and there are no local admins here, you may want to visit the forums on the Community Central Wiki. You can also check our Staff blog to keep up-to-date with the latest news and events around Wikia.

Happy editing, Sannse (help forum | blog)

The Mosquito
Hey Rambo! I don't mind if you want it deleted, I agree that it is unprofessional and was more or less intended as a joke. Does not bother me in the slightest if it was removed, as my more productive contributions far outrule that one. =D Take care and I hope to see more of your contributions on the Wiki!

 * Hey Rambo, looks like they approved me as the new administrator! =D I can go ahead and delete the Mosquito page if you like.  I've already taken care of the other pages marked for deletion (they were marked for good reasons), so I can delete that one as well if you like. TVthePunisher 08:31, November 3, 2010 (UTC)

Administration
Because of my work schedule, I am almost always able to be on at at least 9 oclock Central time. I'll be on here frequently tommorow (touching up pages, enhancing, etc.) because I have the day off and then on Friday, most likely after 7 my time. I'll visit daily and do the usual, but I do need all the help I can get.

At the very least I need a grammar person. I know not every page is 100% written like an English major, so an active grammar person(s) would be amazing. And of course watching for vandalism. It hasn't happened lately, but I did notice about a month or so ago that someone did a bit of vandalism on Ramon Prado and that was fixed. Mainly keep an eye out for those "Russian Ads" that plagued the site and like what I'm doing, check each person's edit and see the original version to see if they removed important info and/or added something offensive/offtopic.

I'll get more with you on it here in a bit (if not later tonight, then certainly tommorow).TVthePunisher 02:30, November 4, 2010 (UTC)

Set Policy
Of course. An obvious ruleset as well as Dexter-Wiki specific rules should be set in place, here is what they consist of:

First and Foremost: This is an English Wiki. While there are Dexter fans from all around the world, this Wiki is written in English and users who wish to contribute in another language, may create their own Dexter Wiki based on their nationality.

Grammar - All contributions should be made legible. If there are a few typos here and there, that is not a problem...however if someone makes a contribution in the "Text Message Format" and shortens words to simple versions such as "wut u need 2 kno is dat..." and so on, so forth.

Vandalism - Vandalism will not be tolerated. A first offense will result in a verbal warning from an Administrator or an active member of the community. If Vandalism reoccurs, editing privledges will be revoked for a set amount of time. If they try again under a different name and flaunt it, they will be banned indefinately. Unfortunately we can't control people using different IPs, so we'll handle this the best way that we can. As of late, there has been little vandalism but as the Wiki grows, we can expect competitors or simple trolls to invade.

Contributions - All contributions must be accurate. Starting within the next week, most information (except personality and appearance) should be cited in the References section using the reference codes. Those will be displayed in the Policy section. If a contribution is not vandalism but worthless such as "Debra Morgan probably is awesome in bed" or something along the lines of an OPINION without fact, will be considered for being removed. There is no penalty for inaccurate or bad contributions, though a verbal notification on the user's talkpage is necessary to let them know why the edit was reverted and changed back to what we originally had it as. If they continue to cause problems however because they don't agree with that policy, the page will be locked and possible definitive action will be taken to insure they get the point straight.

Note: I believe we should start using the Talk Pages for specific info that someone would like to add. Bleach Wiki, one that I respect for an amazing administrative team, has a strict rule policy and as a community...it offers talk pages for users to ask questions on in the scenario that they wish to add or remove something from the article. Members of the staff and active members of the community can then discuss the change, either resulting in a decision based on the majority vote.

I am also considering making the Wiki "User-only", which means someone requires a username to edit. There are plenty of contributions done by Wikia Users who just have an IP address...but some of them are negative and thus can cause issues. I'd like to discuss if you want to set that in place or at least until the Wiki is more active.

Spoiler-Policy - There is a warning on the Main Page that this Wiki contains a lot of spoilers, however users are not permitted to add content from episodes that have not yet been released. This rule is EXCLUSIVE of promotional images and information shown in previews (such as the Jordan Chase photos I found), rather the rule is set in place for people who either obtained a copy of the script or storyline set for the rest of the season and wish to ruin the experience for other users. If such information is found to have been added (such as a character death that has NOT yet occurred), the user will be treated the same as one who has committed vandalism and will be warned. It may be necessary to make this a "No Chance" Policy and instantly block their editing rights for a set period of time, because we do not want visitors spoiling themselves on information that has not been revealed via showtime yet.

Language - This goes for all curse words. The only exception to these rules would be quoted material from an episode or in the novels, including the Debra Morgan list on her page. For example, if someone like Carlos Fuentes said Debra was a "stupid bitch" before cutting Andre's throat, that would be acceptable. However if someone calls Miguel Prado an asshole or users other words to symbolize an opinion rather than fact, it will not be permitted. These violations will be treated like Vandalism, with warnings and possible restriction to the site.

That's just a set few, we can create more as needed. The warning system can work such as two verbal warnings from members, then a warning from an administrator plus explaination of what will happen if they continue...and then restriction of userrights. TVthePunisher 01:45, November 5, 2010 (UTC)
