Welcome to Pensapedia! I have some questions/suggestions about a few of the contributions you've made so far:
*What is the purpose of the "W:" namespace? Are you trying to link to the Wikipedia article? If so, you can make an interwiki link by placing "wikipedia:" before the name of the article, then stripping the namespace by adding a pipe at the end. For example, <nowiki>[[wikipedia:public domain|]]</nowiki> becomes [[wikipedia:public domain|public domain]].
*If you want to make a local (non-Wikipedia) page with helpful information, there are two existing namespaces available — "Pensapedia:" and "Help:" — that should be used for that purpose.
*Pensapedia is not meant to duplicate Wikipedia; we have a smaller and more focused scope. While the area no doubt has a connection to [[Cuba]], it is not a connection that demands such a lengthy and generalized article. In this case, it would be great to have research on historic shipping routes between Pensacola and Cuba, or a list of prominent Pensacolians who are natives of Cuba. In lieu of that, however, I think an [[wikipedia:Cuba|interwiki link to Cuba]] would be sufficient.
*While many articles on the site have been copied from their Wikipedia counterparts, the ultimate goal is to rewrite them eventually to better reflect the focus of Pensapedia. To that end, please include the template <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:wikipedia|wikipedia]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki> at the top of each such page; this will add them to [[:Category:Copied from Wikipedia]] to let other users know which articles need to be rewritten.
Hopefully these suggestions will help clear up some uncertainty about the nature of this project that I haven't had a chance to address properly in the Help section. Thanks for your participation! --[[User:Admin|Admin]] 10:24, 29 March 2007 (CDT)
