[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello Brodders, welcome to Wikipedia!
Here are some tips:
- Take a look at the Simplified Ruleset.
- Read the Tutorial, How to edit a page and the Manual of Style.
- Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
- Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~).
- Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board
- Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
- Use the Show preview button
- Provide an Edit summary
- Add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload
- Create a User page
- Be bold
- Ignore all rules
If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.
If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alphax τεχ 04:27, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Oxonian
Whoo-hoo, another Oxonian, and even better, a self-professed copy-editor (my faves - I'm a good contributor and a lousy typist!). I have taken the utter liberty of adding "Category:Wikipedians in Oxfordshire" to your user page, if you prefer it without, please do not hesistate to remove it. Hope you enjoy it all.

[edit] Another Oxonian
Hi Brodders. Thanks for the message about this on my talk page; I've moved the category you added to my user page. --hooverbag 09:51, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Cat
I added |Brodders to the Category:Wikipedians in Oxfordshire on your user page, so you list under B instead of U (for User: ) hope that's ok. Alf melmac 13:49, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Selig Brodetsky
I really appreciate your comment; too often, editing here is (to put it mildly) a thankless task. I am a great admirer of Selig Brodetsky, and it's nice to have the endorsement of his grandson, especially a Beethoven admirer. (I am struggling to play some of his sonatas.) Did you know that you have a distant relation here? User:David.Mestel is the great-grandson of Selig Brodetsky's sister.--Poetlister 11:53, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Greetings
Aparrently, you are my second cousin once removed - I am the son of Jonathan Mestel, who is the son of Leon Mestel, whose cousin you apparently are. --David.Mestel 10:43, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
- Indeed. Once our family goes back into Eastern Europe, I believe it gets rather hard to trace - but we are related to the Russian comissar for transport under Stalin! --David.Mestel 21:02, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
I see you are maintaining the family tradition of large numbers of cats - Leo has 25! --David.Mestel 19:55, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
