[edit] Welcome to the Wikipedia
Welcome, Matteh!
Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:
- First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
- When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
- Learn about some of the Wikipedia landmarks by trying our Wikipedia scavenger hunt!
- If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
- Wikipedia has a vibrant community of editors. The village pump is a great place to see the goings on.
- Remember to use a neutral point of view!
- Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!
Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:
Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.
You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: ~~~~.
Best of luck, and have fun!

[edit] OurColony.net
Hi Matteh, my name is Jonamerica, I've been working on Ourcolony.
I'm new to wikipedia, infact the game ourcolony is what brought me here. I never thought I'd be editing a page here, I just had no interest in doing so, but when I saw the state of OurColony.net I knew I had to do something.
After working for a bit on OurColony.net however I found Ourcolony, a page covering the same information that was more informative and better written than OurColony.net. I recommended that OurColony.net be deleted in favor of Ourcolony, however that sparked some controversy that Ourcolony was created simply to get around the VfD; this simply is not true.
I did not create OurColony.net or Ourcolony, I simply wanted to make both of them better. If you check the histories of both pages you'll see that Ourcolony was created 2 days prior to OurColony.net, so this claim of circumventing the VfD is unjust.
The problem is that RickK has redirected Ourcolony to OurColony.net because he beleives he has a consensous to do so. Rick sent me a message saying that I shouldn't create new pages to get around a VfD and that he was redirecting the page for that reason. I sent him a message proving that Ourcolony was not created for that reason and reposted the page. I then got this message from him:
"stop removing the redirect. You are violating Wikipedia consensus. Discuss it on the VfD page and edit that page. RickK 04:49, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)"
and:
"If you insist on deleting the redirect, I will list both articles in the same VfD. RickK 05:03, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)"
He has decided to ignore the evidence and keep the redirect.
I'm at a loss as what to do next. I'm new here and am not sure of the process or what my options are. I've sent Rick many messages, but it appears he is on a crusade and is unwilling to bend. He has burnt me on the wikipedia idea, if this is the response that people get when they work hard to create a meaningfull page I can't see how this site is successful or tolerable.
I have Ourcolony backed up on my computer in proper formatting as a word doc. As far as I can tell I have 3 options.
- Wait for the VfD to come to an end (If I do this and OurColony.net is deleted, will Ourcolony as a redirect also be lost?)
- Recreate Ourcolony and let Rick put it up for VfD also
- Replace OurColony.net with Ourcolony text and headings
What is your advice? - Jonamerica
[edit] Wikipedia:U.S. Southern wikipedians' notice board
I have now reopened the notice board, if you are interested in contributing new topics, or in nominating articles for the Collaboration of the Week, which also received a revamp. Please post on the project's talk page if you show interest. Mike H 02:47, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Revision3 Studios
Hi. I noticed that you voted to keep the Systm article on Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Systm. Well, unfortunately, the article was deleted, and Systm was redirected to Kevin Rose. I recently created a new article for Revision3 Studios, the company that produces System and thebroken, and changed Systm to redirect there. Unfortunately, the Revision3 Studios article has now been nominated for deletion.
So, if you have a chance, please look at the Revision3 Studios article, and then go to Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Revision3 Studios and vote to keep it. Thanks a lot, --taestell 16:58, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] The Mushroom Kingdom
I appreciate that you strive to keep Wikipedia free of spam, but this site is no more spam than IMDB. Until all of IMDB's links are deleted, I will be adding the link to every Mario page. -- A Link to the Past 21:25, Jun 26, 2005 (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 22:15, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Image replaced and up for deletion
Hi, I've replaced the image Image:US-la-no.jpg, uploaded by you, with Image:New Orleans, Louisiana flag.svg because SVG is a more suitable format for images with no photographic content. The original image has been listed for deletion—hope this is OK. –Mysid 07:22, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Please notify the original uploader when tagging images without sources
I just found that Image:StargateCoordinates.png was deleted, and I'm a little miffed - you never notified me as requested by the nosource tag you placed. That image was a translated version of http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imagen:StargateFuncionamiento.jpg and although there wasn't a copyright template on it this was stated right in the edit history. If you'd either checked that source yourself or notified me so I could have done so the image would have been saved. Fortunately it's not going to be too much trouble to re-create the image again, but it's more work than just checking the source URL would have been. Bryan 21:26, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mario Kart DS
Hello, Matteh. As a player of Mario Kart DS online, I was wondering if you would be interested in participating in weekly online tournaments for fun. I have an interest in starting up scheduled games in some way and to gauge interest for the game. If you are interested in this possibility, please e-mail me at KramarDanIkabu@gmail.com with MKDS in the subject line. Thank you for your time. KramarDanIkabu 00:21, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
