Style guide

Please see Metapedia:Style guide.

Suitable topics

Not all topics are suitable for Metapedia. Please see Metapedia:Content guidelines.

Wikipedia articles

• To simply copy-and-paste Wikipedia articles to Metapedia is in general discouraged. If the topic is suitable for Metapedia, then the Wikipedia article is often biased and needs editing.
• If you do import text from Wikipedia, please add {{wikipedia}} at the end of the article you are editing. Add {{wikipedia PC}} to the top of the article if you think that part of its content is biased and should be rewritten. This should preferably by done immediately by the person importing the text.

Categories

• Please add categories to each new page using [[Category:Whatever]]. Biographical articles, for example, often need categories regarding the topic they deal with, their nationality and their birth year and death year. For instance, for a Dutch philologer born in 1624 and deceased in 1699 add: [[Category:Dutch]] [[Category:Philologers]] [[Category:1624 births]] [[Category:1699 deaths]]. Even a bad category is better than no category (a bad one can be modified at any time later).
• In Wikipedia articles there are sometimes sadly dozens of categories added, which Metapedia does not have, and which are often not helpful in Metapedia. Please think about whether a category is useful, and when it is, look which categories Metapedia does have, and when Metapedia does not have a useful category you want to use, you can create it and categorize the category itself. A simple way is clicking on unknown (red tinted) categories at the end of your articles you think to be expedient and to add them.

Copyright

• Do not import copyrighted texts from other sites whose copyright you do not hold and avoid uploading copyrighted images.

Images

• When uploading images, write a short description in the summary box; typically it is recommendable to describe the sources, for example including an entitled link or bibliographical information. You can also add an image copyright code. Such as {{image}} for Metapedia image (no copyright information) and {{PD image}} for Public domain image. See Help for more information.

Template and signing

• Use the template on the upper left side of the editing window, that increases work speed. On the picture the arrow points to the sign button, the other buttons are helpful, too. Talk pages comments should be signed. It is also possible to sign using ~~~~

Your posts

Welcome to the English-language Metapedia. It is important for you to examine some of the various posts and to use the correct formats. In addition you must provide proper and credible sources. Take a look at Treaty of Versailles. Here you will get some ideas on layouts etc, sources and categories. Don't just start a page with a single line and leave it for others to do the work, as in White Lives Matter. I would also point out that contrary to what the Far-Left say about Metapedia, we are not a National Socialist site. Anything we post on this period is for historical purposes, not promotion. Thanks.

Introduction

Hi, I am happy to be aboard. I am interested in the preservation of the European derived people and culture, and hope I can make some useful edits/additions. Dave 13:56, 21 September 2014 (CEST)

Images

I deleted images File:3dGlobalGeneticPCA1.gif and File:PCAGlobalGenetic.gif because they were obviously erroneous, and also very large. The third one seems for me not useful, because I can not interpret, what it wants to show. Also the original wikipedia version http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:PCAGlobalGenetic.gif seems to be not that useful for me. Hu1 16:38, 17 October 2014 (CEST)

What is erroneous about it? It is the best representation of how global variation structures I have seen. If it is too large that is a valid reason to delete. Dave 02:06, 18 October 2014 (CEST)

Sockpuppet of Mikemikev

Obvious sockpuppet of banned user Mikemikev that edits that same pages and defends Mikemikev's images and edits. Has also made a number of copyright violations. Banned. Upplysning 16:47, 17 November 2014 (CET)
