[edit] Welcome

Hello, welcome to Wikipedia.

[edit]

Here are some tasks you can do:


You might find these links helpful in creating new pages or helping with the above tasks: How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should read our policies at some point too.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. 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.

Again, welcome! - UtherSRG 19:21, 20 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Lily Braun

de:Lily Braun, for which you requested translation has been translated by User:Saintswithin and is now available at Lily Braun -- Jmabel 18:20, Jul 27, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] "Jury rig" etymology source

I've removed the cryptic reference to Walter William Skeat in Jury rig because it doesn't provide any concrete information. If you know in what work Skeat (first) provides this argument, please add it back with an appropriate citation in the References section. Thank you. — Jeff Q (talk) 01:11, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

Hello, Prosfilaes! I've added a notice/welcome message to the IP address, and I'll see what happens. Here's some more information regarding the "underbelly" of Wikipedia: (this is actually a welcome notice that we use, but since you've already been welcomed, you can just take a look at the links... welcome again!)

Welcome!

[edit] Ababyseal

You marked User:Ababyseal with test markers twice, but I only see one edit. I'm not sure why you started with test2, either. I'm at least removing test4 from his talk page.--Prosfilaes 01:41, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Deleted pages don't show up in a user's contributions list. It's a known bug. --fvw* 01:42, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hawkins

I saw your comment on talk:pseudoscience regarding David R Hawkins. I've started to edit the article and moved it towards NPOV, but additional work is needed. I'm getting up to speed on the subject. It appears that one particular editor, an unregistered anon, has been making edits with a strong POV. Any help bringing the article up to standards would be appreciated. -Willmcw 01:35, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mrs Beeton

I saw the WP article and the page at mrsbeeton.com, and I checked the discussion page, and saw no discussion, but it looked to me like the WP article lifted the text at mrsbeeton.com without permission or attribution and that mrsbeeton.com is not a WP mirror. If I'm wrong, OK, but I promise that I acted in good faith. Ben-w 09:53, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

I did check the goddam article history. Please don't patronize me. Large chunks of text have survived from the first iteration to the most recent. If you can attest to a harmless explanation for why the texts from both sources are so similar, then you could have simply reverted my change with that explanation. You haven't done so, you've chosen to badger me about it instead, which I think is considerably less constructive. Ben-w 07:29, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
