[edit] Welcome to the Wikipedia!
Welcome to the Wikipedia, Elipongo! And thanks for weighing in on the Joe Lieberman article discussion. Hope you enjoy editing here and becoming a Wikipedian! Here are some perfunctory tips to hasten your acculturation into the Wikipedia experience:
- Take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial and Manual of Style.
- When you have time, take a look at The five pillars of Wikipedia, and assume good faith, but keep in mind the unique style you brought to the Wiki!
- Always keep the notion of NPOV in mind, be respectful of others' POV, and remember your unique perspective on the meaning of neutrality is invaluable!
- If you need any help, post your question at the Help Desk.
- Explore, be bold in editing, and, above all else, have fun!
Some odds and ends: Boilerplate text, Brilliant prose, Cite your sources, Civility, Conflict resolution, How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Pages needing attention, Peer review, Policy Library, Utilities, Verifiability, Village pump, Wikiquette, and you can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes: ~~~~.
Best of luck, Elipongo, and have fun! Ombudsman 03:38, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Faux Pas
I infer from the exasperated nature of your comments on the "List of Faux Pas" article that you have had the displeasure of discovering it more-or-less recently. It sure is a piece of crap, isn’t it? I am the Wikipedian who added the CAVEAT at the top of the article after noticing that perhaps half of the supposed faux pas listed didn’t really qualify for inclusion. Here’s some more bad news: the article is added to almost daily, and more often than not the additions will make you wince. If you are smarter than me – and I hope you are – you’ll take the article off your watch list and forget it ever existed rather than allowing it to torture your sensibilities.

- Hey, thanks greatly for the unexpected barnstar. Reading the tone of my message above, I have to smile. I am just glad to be done! Happy Hanukkah and best wishes for 2007. ◄HouseOfScandal► 09:03, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lord & Taylor
Hello Elias,
Thanks for your comments on my talk page regarding Lord & Taylor. I did (and do) realize that my revision was going to take out the actual "citations" for the current store locations. However, the vandal I mentioned had done a lot of vandalism to the list of closed/former stores. Essentially, he did some good work on the page while also some not so good work. I don't know if he is intentionally vandalizing the page, or just a stubborn ill-informed user. Nontheless, I didn't know what else to do but to revert the page to a version before he started hacking away at it. Since my revision Tuesday night, he has went back and done the same thing again. I'm still somewhat of a new Wiki user, so I'm not sure where we should go from here. Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated!
