Hi! Could you please be careful when adding {{msg:stub}} to articles? You seem to be inadvertently removing the entire article. Please be more careful. Thank you and welcome to Wikipedia! RadicalBender 04:49, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)

how do you do it????????

Make sure you only replace the stub warning. For example, look at this page. You see, you actually deleted the entire article with the {{msg:stub}} stub message instead of just replacing the one part. Does that make sense? (I don't know if I'm explaining it real well.)

By the way, the {{msg:stub}} code is only for short articles (we call them stubs) that eventually will grow into bigger articles. See this page for more information. RadicalBender 04:53, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)

ohh, sorry, did know what to do with them, anyway where does the name "stub" come from

Not sure. I assume because a "stub" implies something that is short, incomplete or unfinished, which is what the articles pretty much are. They will, hopefully, grow into something bigger as more people contribute to them. RadicalBender 04:56, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)
