Welcome to Wikipedia.

If you're the real Bill Bennett, you might consider sending me an email to start to clarify the situation. In any case, welcome. I will try to make no assumptions for the moment.

It's been an interesting introduction so far I'm sure you'll agree, see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Bill Bennett (DJ) if you have not already done so. I hope you'll get involved with other articles and discussions whatever happens to this one.

I think it's a fascinating project. The quality of our information is not perfect, but it's surprisingly good, and leads many of us to question, just what are the sources of higher quality information, and how good really are their claims to this quality? Obviously, many of us have decided Wikipedia has a valid and exciting role. Consider becoming part of that.

And there are the cynics. We'll always have those, and they have a valid role too. But I think it's far more exciting to be a contributor, personally! And surprisingly easy. Many primary school children have made good and useful contributions. Anyone who can matriculate to university can certainly contribute. It's not a good way to become a megastar, megastars and wannabees tend to be a bit of a pest here actually, but it's a good way to do something small and useful IMO, and a good way to learn, too.

You can sign your name on talk pages by using " ~~~ " for your username and " ~~~~ " for your username and a timestamp. We normally do this on discussion pages as a courtesy, but not in articles.

Please feel free to drop me a question on my talk page if there's anything you think I can help with. Andrewa 20:29, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Nominating for Deletion

Hi there! I stumbled across a page that you attempted to nominate for deletion back on September 1, James Martin (DJ). To get something into the deletion queue, there are additional steps you must take. The {{subst:afd}} is only the first part, there are two additional ones. Use the {{subst:afd2|pg=PageName|text=Reason why it should be deleted}} and then add it to the daily log appropriate for that date. You nominated it on 9/1, but the 9/1 log shows no record of it. Please review [link] for instructions on how to do it in the future, otherwise your nomination will not receive the attention it deserves. Finally, don't forget to vote! The nomination is usually considered a de facto vote, but it never hurts to put in your explicit vote so consensus is clear. I added the entry to the current log (9/7) so no more work is required this time. Best regards, and welcome to Wikipedia! - CHAIRBOY (☎) 16:47, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
