[edit] Welcome

Hello, BTLizard, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you very much for your contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

You might also want to consider changing your username before you get too invested in your current one. Although you are allowed to use just about any name, many Wikipedians encourage others to use real names. I would suggest that you do this. I can certainly understand that you might be uncomfortable using your real name online, but, in this case, I recommend that you choose an alias that resembles a real name. For instance, my name is Nat Krause, but I could just as well have a username such as "Eli Miller" or "Abe Sokolov".

If you are choosing a pseudonym, please do not use the names of famous people or fictional characters. An obscure literary reference is probably all right. As always, please avoid anything that could be considered offensive or inappropriate.

Note that, on Wikipedia, you can use spaces and capital letters; for instance, "T. K. Truong" is possible, rather than simply "tktruong".

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!—Nat Krause 12:58, 6 October 2005 (UTC), (Talk!)

[edit] See WP:AIV for reporting blatant vandalism

Hi BTLizard. Please note that I've archived or removed your recent request for investigation. That page is only for very specific cases, as described by the page's guidelines. Your alert would be better placed on Administrator intervention against vandalism (WP:AIV), where it will usually be processed within minutes. Many alerts that are incorrectly placed on Requests for investigation are never dealt with, simply because they become old before an administrator gets to them. Thanks for your efforts. :) Petros471 10:59, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

No problem :) Just that you usually get a quicker response from AIV. RFI reports can take days or weeks to be processed, by which time it is too late to block (for IPs). Petros471 11:04, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WW2 Casualties

Can somebody block the IP address of that vandal?--Woogie10w 12:59, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Roland Scull

Hi BTLizard (I like the username!). Just to clarify what WP:AIV is about and why Roland Scull didn't really belong on it: AIV is there for specific and repeated cases of vandalism, about which the offending user has been warned on their user talk page - see here for the complete list and under what circumstances they are applied. There's a rough heirarchy, starting with {{test}} and running up to {{test4}} (which is basically "do that again and you're blocked").

The Roland Scull article wasn't properly vandalism anyway, at worst it was a "candidate for speedy deletion" as a non-notable person, once blanked it was a candidate for speedy deletion as "blanked by author". See WP:CSD for a list of the criteria and which templates should be applied. Tagged articles are placed on a list which administrators trawl through regularly, deleting articles which meet the criteria. (I am not an admin, by the way). You're free to "speedy tag" articles, but please make sure they meet the applicable criteria. If you'd like to know more about the processes and systems that apply to deleting articles, by the way, see this article. Regards, Tonywalton  | Talk 11:29, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Thank you for the trust that you had in me when you supported my Request for Adminship. The nomination ended successfully and I am actually overwhelmed by the support that I received. Thanks again! -- Kim van der Linde at venus 06:31, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Punk music

Whats up? Hi, I'm trying to gather some more interest and support for the Wikipedia:WikiProject Punk music. Please check out the topics and lets get our WikiProject to function better. I've taken an interest in the Wikipedia:WikiProject hip hop and I consider that WikiProject to be better developed. Hopefully we can all work together to improve articles relating to punk. Also, I am trying to gather support and opinions concerning the punk house article and specifically the Theta Beta Potata article which is currently in AfD (x2) at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Theta Beta Potata (second nomination). Please check it out and voice your opinion. Xsxex 06:45, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RFA thanks from Mike

Thank you for your Support on my recent RfA, which I withdrew at 16/20/4. The criticism I received will hopefully result in me learning becoming a better editor, and thanks again for your support!

[edit] Reconsider vote for Dr.S. Hussain Zaheer Memorial High School

I would like to ask you to reconsider your creation of the AfD for Dr.S. Hussain Zaheer Memorial High School. With a little bit of research, it is clear that the school is indeed notable, and the additional information has been added to the article with material from the school's web site and several references from The Hindu, India's main national newspaper. With its management and operation by the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, the school has a unique science program that allows students to learn from India's top scientists, and to have heard from several recent Nobel Prize in Chemistry laureates. The school competes in, and has won, at the top levels of sport in the state. I strongly suggest that all those who previously voted to Delete should re-read the article and reconsider their vote.
