[edit] Welcome!

Hi, Awcolley, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, please read about the simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page.

[edit] Additional tips

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the articles for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
  • If you believe something you added or created has been unfairly treated, talk to the user or follow the steps in resolving disputes
  • If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
  • If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

[edit] Happy Wiki-ing.

And since I'm here, because of your abilities in CSS I was wondering if you could take a look at this project and comment on it. It's in very early stages and I'm sure a lot of bugs/personal differences will arise and I'm hoping to get some good coders behind it it to get something done. Thanks for your time, and welcome again. - Trevor MacInnis (Talk | Contribs) 17:35, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome. I really liked your user page and stole some ideas from it for mine. Awcolley 15:30, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jesus

Check out the Jesus article and edit it to keep it focused on Jesus and a biographical account of Him. Watch the Jesus page to keep it focused on Him. Thank you. Scifiintel 21:38, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. Awcolley 15:29, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] F5 as maximum possible rating

I request your input on wording tornado events as F5 as rated maximum possible, specifically Tri-State Tornado with discussion at Talk:Tri-State Tornado. If you don't wish to do so, that's fine, I'm just looking for relatively knowledgeable and interested people to render their input. Evolauxia 03:01, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

The current wording in the article is acceptable. That this issue would elicit such frothy discusssion is absurd; people need to get a life. The Wikipedia article on Fujita scale fully supports the statement in the article and not all the blather in the discussion. Awcolley 15:05, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Wikiethics

Hi,

We started a proposal Wikipedia:Wikiethics to state the existing policies coherently and make suggestions on improving the editorial standards in Wiki. I thought you might be interested in contributing to that proposal.

Unfortunately, a pro-porn and pro-offense lobby is trying to make this proposal a failure. They unilaterally started an approval poll although almost no one including me believe that it is time for a vote, simply because the policy is not ready. It is not even written completely.

Editors who thinks that the policy needs to be improved rather than killed by an unfair poll at the beginning of the proposal, started another poll ('Do we really need a poll at this stage?') at the same time. The poll is vandalized for a while but it is stable now. A NO vote on this ('Do we really need a poll now?') poll will strengthen the position of the editors who are willing to improve the ethics policy further.

If you have concerns about the ethics and editorial standards in Wiki, please visit the page Wikipedia:Wikiethics with your suggestions on the policy. We have two subpages: Arguments and Sections. You might want to consider reviewing these pages as well...

Thanks in advance. Resid Gulerdem 00:08, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

The matter was OBE before I had a chance to look. Any attempt at defining ethics will always bring opposition from unethical people. I will watch the proposal and ancillary pages. Awcolley 15:09, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I would love your help.

Hi,

I know you are interested in christianity, and I recently started a new wiki over at wikicities which is on the subject of christianity. Christian Knowledge Base is the site.

The goal is to have a knowledgebase on christianity from a distinctly "C(hristian)POV" rather than the NPOV. It is not meant to be a mere Christian Encyclopedia, but to foster a real sense of community. I'd like to include things like current events, news, stories, and anything that would add to both an understanding of Christianity, but also its enjoyment. I'm looking for help to build a resource that could really enrich the lives of Christians.

I know you are busy but I am actively seeking new sysops/admins to help me build this site up, and I would be positively thrilled if you could contribute in any capacity whatsoever. nsandwich 01:13, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

While I applaud your apparent intentions, I don't see how any consensus can be reached on what constitutes a "Christian POV". There are too many irreconcilable viewpoints that claim to be "Christian". Awcolley 15:12, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rodovid.org

Hi, I found you from the category of Wikipedian genealogists. I wonder if you have heard of/been involved in any of the previous attempts at starting a genealogy wiki under the foundation. Seeing as you were in the category, I thought you may be interested in the new project proposal, Rodovid. This project is currently running at rodovid.org. I would greatly appreciate it if you could visit the site and give me your opinion of it. Any input at all will be useful. Thanks. --Bjwebb (talk) 10:34, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

When things get straightened out (WikiTree vs. Rodovid vs. whatever), let me know. Awcolley 15:28, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
