[edit] Welcome!

Hey there! Welcome to Wikipedia!

[edit]

Here are some tasks you can do:


I hope you like this place--I sure do--and want to stay. If you need help on how to title new articles check out Wikipedia:Naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and The FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check The Village pump or The Reference Desk! And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on My User talk Page.

[edit] Additional tips

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

  • If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.

Happy Wiki-ing. --Wolf530 06:26, Mar 30, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Kilimanjaro

Hi. I would be looking either at the late January - February or late August - September timeframe for any attempt on Kili. I would do Mt. Kenya first for acclimitization although there's an alternate in Tanzania. RedWolf 05:12, Aug 31, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Gluehwein vs mulled wine

Hi Metlin, there is already an article mulled wine. I would suggest to move your text there and make Gluehwein a redirect (replace text with #REDIRECT [[mulled wine]]). Regards, Kosebamse 18:05, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I have done that now. Please feel free to extend that article. Regards, Kosebamse 17:17, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Sanskrit Wiki

Hi do you want to revive the Sanskrit Wikipedia? Please let me know if you have the time. Thanks GizzaChat © 11:43, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

You can help in any way you want to. I think it is important to write a few paragraphs on the crucial articles that all encyclopedias need. There is a list on simple wikipedia simple:Wikipedia:List_of_articles_all_languages_should_have here and here is a Indian themed list at Hindi Wikipedia. Thanks for taking interest.

[edit] Blanca Peak photo

I am curious about the photo of Blanca Peak that you uploaded. The perspective does not seem right. Are you certain this was taken from the summit of Mt. Lindsey? It appears to have been taken from on of the unnamed 13ers between the two summits. Thanks Meniscus 05:46, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your follow up, sorry it has taken me awhile to respond. The lead photo on Blanca Peak was taken by me from the summit of Mt. Lindsey. It appears as though the picture you uploaded was taken on the approach to the summit of Lindsey and not from the summit as the caption suggests. Your image is a valuable addition, but I would like to change the caption, what are your thoughts? Meniscus 01:10, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Excellent, I made the changes. Meniscus 16:42, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shannon Larratt

Yeah, CSD G11 (the spam criterion) talks about blatant, unsalvageable spam, and refers to content not topic: any article on someone obscure could be thought of as spam on the basis of its topic, but only articles with useless spam content are supposed to fit G11. I think the person in question may well be notable per WP:BIO. Take it to AfD if you want, and see how it goes. Mangojuicetalk 04:41, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, part of the idea of speedy deletion is that articles that are deleted speedily should be ones where very little subjectivity is needed: when judgement calls have to be made, that's when it makes more sense to use a full process. Mangojuicetalk 13:17, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
