[edit] A welcome from Sputnik

Hi, Michael A. White, Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello, bonjour, salut, privyet, konichiwa, shalom, hola, salve, sala'am, bonjourno, and hi! I'm Sputnik. I noticed that you were new and/or have yet to receive any messages so I just thought I'd pop in to say "hello". We're glad to have you in our community! I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it's so big but we won't bite so Be Bold and get what you know down in microchips! If you do make a mistake, that's fine, we'll assume good faith and just correct you: it'll take a few seconds maximum! I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Though we all make goofy mistakes, here is what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful. If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you. Here are a few links to get you started:
And remember:
  • 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.
  • If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.
  • P.S. I'm happy to help new users. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you need help with anything or simply wish to say hello. :)

Happy Wiki-ing!

Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page and make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. --digital_me(TalkˑContribs) 15:48, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Revert a warning

Just wondering why you reverted you warning on User talk:200.60.212.116 --mboverload@ 22:01, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

I realized that your warning was for the same vandalism.Michael A. White 00:14, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your VandalProof Application

Dear Michael A. White,

Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact with the new 1.2 version release it has even more power. As such we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that that you havn't made enough edits in the main article space. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again in the not too distant future. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof.

[edit] edit count page

You're using IE correct? - Glen Stollery 13:53, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Yep, the old link (tool) is not updated so the new link (tool2) works fine (but not in IE which is why I asked...). FYI you've got 155 mainspace edits which unfortunately is still a wee bit too low for VP (250 min). However I will approve you at 200 which you'll reach in the shake of a lambs - thanks for your reply :) - Glen Stollery 14:06, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Islamofascism and Bush Quotes

Greetings, I'm curious to know if you missed the following line at the head of the article?

This article is about the term "Islamofascism"; for a discussion of the relationship between fascism and Islam, see Neofascism and religion.

In the text you've just added Bush did not use the term "islamofascism". Would you kindly remove your citation? Thanks. (Netscott) 20:12, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. (Netscott) 20:16, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] It does sound like a bad joke

I was listening to NPR and they had a guy from Slate talking about false confessions, which led me to false memories. We can joke about it, but people spent hard time in jail over the ridiculous theory. It would be a good name for a bad band.

[edit] User:Michael A. White/Schoolwork

Using Wikipedia to host your schoolwork is a violation of WP:NOT--Wikipedia is not a free webhost. Please reconsider this page, or it may be listed on WP:MFD. Thanks! -- Merope 13:56, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Ah, sorry about that, I should have thought of that. I removed it. --Michael WhiteT·C 23:38, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
