SATS - Thanks for that. Some good stuff there. I haven't time right now but it might be best that it be moved to the "Document" namespace sometime; if only because that will give it the status of a reproduced external document that should not be edited. As it is it is part of your personal information. It also needs categorising and some links to other pages (already existing or not) so that it does not sink into obscurity as an unfindable orphan. I'll get around to it and any comments welcome. --Peter P 13:26, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Peter - Thanks for the help. I am new to this and still learning. I went into the Category tree and then into Deep Politics Theory then accessed my page from there. I thought my article would be linked back there but I was mistaken. Still not sure where I went wrong or what I should have done but I am sure I will eventually sort it out. Any simple Idiot guide would be welcome.--SATS 20:10, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
The Category Tree is a work in progress and far from ideal. Categories are not assigned automatically. You have to enter them manually; best place is at the end of an article but they can be put anywhere. Edit any document to see how then select cancel. The "Document" namespace is reserved for external essays/articles etc that do not fit the regular encyclopedia format. They are always credited and linked to the author. To put an item in the document namespace, simply precede its title with "Document:" I'll move yours shortly and you can have a look see what I've done. Also, notice the indents here - helps to follow a discussion. New topic denoted by a title. I'm considering installing 'liquid threads' extension to make discussions more intuitive but not enough traffic yet. There's quite a lot of help under the Left hand Help menu item. BTW welcome. --Peter P 20:30, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
I've moved it and tweeked it a bit. I've shortened the indexed title because unique short titles tend to be caught and rank hiher in search engines and long long titles cause wrapping on the main page boxes and make the layout appear a bit messy. I have put in a few proposed links to other wikispooks pages. Those that appear in blue are existing pages, those in red do NOT yet exist (although they may exist with slightly different capitalisation and spelling - best to check before creating any. I've categorised it as "Propaganda" for now. There probably additional categories under "Deep Political Theory" needed and which it would fit. Please feel free to do whatever further tweeking you feel is needed. I've also deleted the article from your personal page and put a simple link to it there. - BTW editing someone elses personal page is really a big No-No but I guess you can agree this is a valid exception. --Peter P 08:00, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
