[edit] Kudos.

Good job on doing some stuff for Black Sabbath songs, etc.

They have been lacking. --Keith, evil dude 04:08, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism on LOSAM

Why do you believe that some songs on LOSAM meet the criteria for vandalism on that list? I added numerous songs to that list and thought that those songs had something to do with masturbation (e.g. reference, metaphor, out-of-context), sometimes, when I hear lyrics of songs, I get some impression.

Find out more on talk page. --SuperDude 07:16, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] How can i apply for administratorship?

Dear Redwolf24,I am user:tdxiang.I would like to appeal to be an administrator,but how?

Sorry Tdxiang but you are rather new to Wikipedia. Administrators have to know Wikipedia inside and out. Until then, keep editing and keep contributing. Redwolf24 06:03, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The br thing

Answer to question posted on userpage: You have to type return twice to get a new paragraph.

Like that. —MICLER (Мыклр) June 28, 2005 18:28 (UTC)

[edit] black sabbath

considering your msg to me wrt the bs page - since bs is a british band it is more appropriate to have the spelling in british as well. hence the changes. if I'm not mistaken this is in the wiki guide as well. Spearhead 30 June 2005 22:57 (UTC)

[[1]] Spearhead 1 July 2005 21:26 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Kudos

Thanks. Yes, the Mariah Carey article is a perpetual mess, as are a lot of the other music articles. Just looked at Black Sabbath and it's in the top 10%! Could use a couple more images though. Wasted Time R 1 July 2005 22:44 (UTC)

[edit] What do you mean by extentions? I might be able to help...

I saw your message on Jimmy's front page; When you say "extentions," do you mean that you want to create a sub-directory? If so, then simply put in the web address that you'd like to use, and it will pop up with a blank "edit" page, and you simply edit away. Does that help? You can answer me on my talk page and/or send me an email: Gww1210@aol.com --GordonWattsDotCom 2 July 2005 02:39 (UTC)

• You're welcome. Got it working, I take it, eh?--GordonWattsDotCom 2 July 2005 02:46 (UTC)

• • Yup, and a Barnstar for you! Redwolf24 2 July 2005 02:47 (UTC)

[edit] Belated welcome

I know you've been here for a while, but you said on Wikipedia:Welcoming committee that you were never welcomed. So I'd just like to say: welcome to Wikipedia! — Bcat (talk | email) 2 July 2005 23:03 (UTC)

[edit] Searching

Hi Redwolf24, Thanks for the welcome. I actually joined Wikipedia a while back but hadn't logged in when I posted material. I wasn't sure why one even needed to log in, but now see that it allows users to follow the history somewhat more precisely.
My current question is how one can search ALL of Wikipedia for a specific name, term, phrase to find out what's available.

For example, if I wanted to search for Warren Burger, fomer Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, I'd probably find an individual listing for him. However, there might be no main entry for a person even though that person might be mentioned numerous times in articles about other things. And even if there is an entry for what you're looking for, there's no way to find all those other mentions unless links have already been established. Is there a way to do what I'm asking that I don't see?

I'm also wondering how to get the same effect as the HTML anchor code <a name="example"> which allows a user to jump directly to a specific spot on a page? Your command <div id="example">an id attribute</div> inserts a hard return <br> when one inserts it in the middle of text, forcing one to use it at the beginning or end of a paragraph. --Snsnews 3 July 2005 06:28 (UTC)

You're very welcome for the welcome. Now for the questions... When you say search ALL of Wikipedia you mean like user pages and templates and everything? If so then when you search for something, scroll to the bottom of the search page and check all the boxes. If you meant to see pages that mention Warren Burger then go to his page and click "What links here" on the toolbox on the left side of the page underneath the searchbox. Oh, no way to find the pages unless links have been established... Most pages do link.

As for the jumping down to a specific part on a wikipage, just use [[User:Redwolf24#Heroes]] (Test it out even-->User:Redwolf24#Heroes) of course that's an example. Use the page then the pound sign (#) to whatever section. I think I've answered your questions. If not then reply. Redwolf24 3 July 2005 06:40 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the welcome.

Thanks for welcoming me, Redwolf24. I'll try to do my best to do some good edits.  :-) Forgotten the crackers 5 July 2005 19:48 (UTC)

No problem. If you wanna welcome people yourself just go to WP:WC and add your name to the list. Then you can make your own welcome or just use {{welcome}} Redwolf24 7 July 2005 03:37 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the nice welcome

Just wanted to say thanks for welcoming me! Wolfmoon 9 July 2005 08:27 (UTC)

[edit]  ????

I have no idea what just happened. I was googling, trying to find recent contact information on someone, and found myself in WikiWorld. What I read needed improvement, so I did.

I don't know where the tildes go or why, but thank you for the tip. Is there something else I should do? Will anyone be the least bit interested in my edit, or have a reason to alter it?

It's pretty late--I just realized it's July 9 and I thought it was still yesterday.

Cynthia Morse

[edit] Userpage

I did.

--Cynthia Morse 9 July 2005 09:04 (UTC)

[edit] Watchlist

How do I add the article that I edited to my watchlist. When I click on "display and edit" it only gives me the option to delete.--Cynthia Morse 9 July 2005 09:13 (UTC)

(Taken care of) Redwolf24 9 July 2005 09:16 (UTC)

[edit] Substub

Because of the hard work of WP:WSS, there is no longer need for substubs. Use {{stub}} instead, or preferably, a more specific stub template. Radiant_>|< July 9, 2005 10:05 (UTC)

Well yes I know about the {{Stub}} instead thing. Anywho, I read up on all that. However just saying {{stub}} seems like it brings up lots of work too. Anyways, thank you. Redwolf24 9 July 2005 10:07 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the Welcome Redwolf24

Thank you for your warm welcome, and the useful links you provided. --Bongani 9 July 2005 10:28 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for your vote on Talrias' RFA

Thanks for your supporting vote on my RFA! Talrias (t | e | c) 9 July 2005 13:31 (UTC)

No problem at all. I'm not sure if you're gonna pass because so many people judge based on edits rather than quality of them. Yes quantity is important but you've made the most of your edits. Good luck on it however and if it fails then try again in a month, I'll nominate you myself. Redwolf24 20:59, 9 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks alot for the nice welcome! -- Sundae 9 July 2005 14:03 (UTC)

You're very welcome for it. If you ever get interested in welcoming newcomers, take a gander at WP:WC. :) Redwolf24 21:00, 9 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Wikistress

Its one of those situations where you know you're right but due to a fluke of policy your hands are tied. Bascially a user doesn't like the policies of a wikiproject I serve as coordinator for, and sought to create an alternative article, by turing a redirect to a preexisting article into a new article for his POV. It's somewhat complicated see the RFC for American West History, Geography section and User talk:Theresa knott#another bothersome request, sorry. Thanks for your concern. -JCarriker 20:21, July 9, 2005 (UTC)

Please don't leave Wikipedia based on someone being an idiot. We lose a lot of great editors that way but they don't see for every Competent User we lose there's a higher idiot ratio. Anyways I've got to run. Redwolf24 21:03, 9 July 2005 (UTC)

I don't plan on leaving, however the deadlock at Talk:American West is narrow perhaps you would consider helping me out over there all we need is one vote for redirecting back to the original article (new material has already been merged). - JCarriker 21:07, July 9, 2005 (UTC)

K, good. I saw your friend Hephaestos and I feared you were gonna do the same. Redwolf24 21:39, 9 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Vancouveriensis article on Sir J.C. Bray sub John Bray

Dear Redwolf24,

Thanks for your welcome message.

I just wonder if I made a mistake creating my article and submitting it before creating an account for myself as Vancouveriensis? I see that the new account is not credited with contributing the article, so I have edited it to include that information at the end, but this is only a makeshift attempt to rectify my omission.

Thanks for any help.

Cheers,

V.

[edit] Hatelisting

Thanks. If it gets recreated again I'll protect. It gets a fair number of Google hits but the article isn't remotely encyclopedic. --FCYTravis 03:02, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] VfD:List of navigational.. yadda yadda

Thanks for casting a delete vote Redwolf24 04:40, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

I'm glad I could be of service :) -mysekurity 04:41, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] What is going on

Please explain someone!!! Redwolf24 06:17, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

You have a fan... or something >_> NickBush24 06:19, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

User:207.200.116.9, User:Redwolf24isgay, User:Redwolf24isafag. Three people hate me, oh joy. You know you're a great editor when you have your own personal vandals. Though its probably the same guy over and over. Redwolf24 06:20, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Check [2], you seem to have attracted a crowd. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 06:53, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

lmao. These crazy homophobes. Looks like I have 7 fans? Its a different (yet similar) IP each time. Maybe one guy owns seven computers. Or maybe theres a hate group working together in a basement. Redwolf24 07:00, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

More likely they have dynamic IP's and it keeps changing to protect them from being blocked. -- Essjay · Talk 07:03, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

Good thought. Redwolf24 07:03, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

I agree. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 07:04, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

You know, if you have that many "fans" you have to be doing something right! -- Essjay · Talk 07:05, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

Thats what I've been thinking and thats probably why I havent changed my Wikistress. :) Redwolf24 07:06, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Here's a vandal whacking stick to help you out. -- Essjay · Talk 07:09, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

You're welcome! Oh, and I asked Evil Monkey to block User:NickBush24isafag. -- Essjay · Talk 07:16, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

Jesus, Joseph & Mary! The saga continues... -- Essjay · Talk 07:29, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

I think its over... Redwolf24 07:30, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

It’s probably the same guy, but I don’t think that he is deliberately changing IP address. I’m on dial up, and every time I connect my IP number is different (that’s the point of dynamic IP’s isn’t it). -- Obradović Goran (ta^lk 02:00, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

P.S. – Black Sabbath: Paranoid rulz!!-- Obradović Goran (ta^lk 02:00, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

Yeah I figured that all out but I can pretend that more than one person hates me. A guy can dream can't he :P

P.S. DAMN STRAIGHT Redwolf24 02:03, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Alice Cooper Photograph

Thanks for your message, and for giving this some thought. Trivia time: as you noted, the cover of "Eyes" is indeed classic--in fact, it seems classic because it IS classic. It was taken from the inside fold of 1971's "Love It To Death". This is at least the second time that Cooper cover art was based on an image from a previous album, because the cover for 1977's "Alice Cooper Goes To Hell" was a cropping of a photograph from an inside photo of the band in 1973' "Billion Dollar Babies." An odd practice for someone so obviously in tune with image, don't you think? Generally, though, I prefer the scary clown eye makeup style (as on the cover of "From The Inside") to the demented drag queen makeup style (as on the cover of "Eyes). Thanks again and keep up the good work! -- ROYGBIV 06:30, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

Since you mentioned you hadn't been welcomed, now you have! -- Essjay · Talk 08:00, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

Haha, Bcat beat you to it (scroll up). All I need now is a barnstar :P nah I don't deserve one just yet. People need to truly deserve them so the Barnstar retains some worth. Redwolf24 08:02, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Darn him! I'd whack him with my vandal whacking stick, but since he's doing what he's supposed to, I think it'd make me a vandal! -- Essjay · Talk 08:06, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

I love that Vandal stick <3 Redwolf24 08:07, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Speaking about Barnstars, we just created one for combating vandalism. See Wikipedia:Barnstars_on_Wikipedia#The_Anti-Vandalism_Barnstar. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 08:08, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Looks like its a few months old. Good stuff though. I'm off to make a subpage of people I can call on. Redwolf24 08:09, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

You know, I think it's important to have funny things like vandal whacking sticks to hand around...I've been known to leave all kinds of things lying about. If we don't have something to laugh about, we'll all end up crying. -- Essjay · Talk 08:16, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

Check the bottom of my user page now. Mini hall of fame of sorts. Redwolf24 08:17, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

I'm touched. Plus, as for the Barnstars, you can give one for any reason. Check that out, and WP:KC to see about a little group. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 08:20, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Hey, it looks like you've been editing since about the same time I started (seriously) editing. And you aren't far behind me in the edit count department! Are you excited about coming up on 1000? Oh, and by the way, I'm happy to flail you any day! (that didn't come out right) -- Essjay · Talk 08:22, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

Haha. But by the way I've made about 150 edits on July 10 I believe. Anywho I just hit 900 recently, Neh? I better go collect 1000. Anywho I just wanna say you've been really helpful and I'll gladly nominate you an admin once you hit 2000 or so. :) Redwolf24 08:24, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

At this rate, you'd better start typing...I had like 200 at the begining of June! I was really excited about hitting 1000. I've had somewhere around 100 in the last 24 hours, but most of that is from RC patrol.

Oh, by the way, considering the vandalism that's been going on, you might want to check out our policy proposal at Wikipedia:Doppelganger account. It's not really the same thing, but something cose.

Good work today! -- Essjay · Talk 08:34, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

At this rate I better start typing? I'm going amazingly fast in my opinion :P anywho, I support that policy though it is a bit confusing. Anyways I broke 900. 1000 is next. :D. Redwolf24 08:39, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Oops, I was confusing. I meant, at the rate I'm going if you're going to nominate me at 2000, you'd better start typing the nomination, because I'll be there before you know it! I wasn't suggesting you weren't going fast enough, in fact, it think you deserve a barnstar for being constantly on the move! -- Essjay · Talk 08:46, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

Haha. Score my first barnstar of any sort. You deserve this same star. Redwolf24 08:49, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Thank you so very much for the reciprocal barnstar. Today, I got two barnstars (my first two ever) for RC patrol work; yesterday, I nearly got blocked for it! What a weekend! -- Essjay · Talk 09:25, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

Haha weekends we're in a giving mood, weekdays we're in a BAN ESSJAY mood. Redwolf24 09:27, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

It is 2:26 AM. I hope to hit 1000 before I go to bed. Cheer me on :) Redwolf24 09:27, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO!

Literally at the exact same moment I was typing that above (about the ban) the admin who almost banned me was typing a note on my talk page saying she was glad I'd gotten some awards...Creepy.

I'm leaving you a note in reply at my cult page. -- Essjay · Talk 09:32, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

Weird stuff there And I'll check your crazy Cult Page soon. Redwolf24 09:33, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

977...You're so close...Come on, come on..."I think I can, I think I can" -- Essjay · Talk 10:32, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

Haha I thought you went to bed :p Redwolf24 10:33, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Nope...I have a cup of coffee, a beautiful sunrise, a fuzzy cat sitting on my desk whacking my hands as I type...It's a beautiful Sunday morning!

I was acually at my WikiFriends page listing people...It took a while! I've got some more policy work to do, then I'm going to do some RC patrol and try to "widen the gap."

Just 12 more to go! -- Essjay · Talk 10:45, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] hola!

Dear Red ,

I've been a regular reader of wikipedia for quite some time now and funny as it seems- i just noticed i can also have an account - so there we go.I think its a lovely concept..drops of info from so many people spread all over the world- n here is such an awesome source of info on so many many things. I just made my first edit also - and to tell u frankly...small as the contribution was - im feeling so good about adding something worthwhile to this world wide wikipedia web :))..thats from me for now. I will go through the articles on editing etc and will ask you if i have any doubts.

cheers neha

[edit] Thanks for the Welcome Message

Thank you for the welcome message, I must admit, I was feeling a little lost, after having made a contribution. Still getting used to the things here and still exploring.

Could you help me understand how I could become members of groups (Collaborations of the Week), and those kind of things (unless of course I figure that out myself)?

Thanks again.

Four tildes, it is!

Atul Sabnis 10:46, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

You don't have to formally become a member of Collaborations of the Week, just go research and add :). Some things you should sign up for (like WP:WC) Any other newbie (that is NOT said in a deraugatory way) questions you need, ask me! Redwolf24 10:49, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] CONGRATS!

YOU DID IT! You made 1000! -- Essjay · Talk 11:00, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

Haha I welcomed a lucky newbie. Damn in the last 24 hours I must have about 250 edits O.O Redwolf24 11:02, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

And now it's time to go to bed? -- Essjay · Talk 11:05, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

I'll get around to it... *twitch* *gets coffee* Redwolf24 11:10, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

You can have some of mine...I made a big pot...

Also, I saw your comments to Exir Kamalabadi about control-c; you do know you can type {{subst:User:Redwolf24/Welcome}} and get the same result, right? -- Essjay · Talk 11:13, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

Yeh but I like it how it is <_< >_> Redwolf24 11:15, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

I left you a note about your tilde problem. Instead of showing up as tildes, they are making the auto change into your signature. I think it's because you copy/paste and there aren't additional "nowiki" tags -- Essjay · Talk 11:24, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

Taken care of :) thanks *awards 3 more barnstars* Just kidding though. Redwolf24 11:27, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

I swear, anymore barnstars for me and ArbCom is going to investigate the both of us! Jimbo himself is going to be leaving us messages!

Also, I thought of this a second ago: I use the Firefox browser, and there is an extension for it that lets you have custom signatures you can insert on pages (like here). I have it, and have it set to my welcome template, so I don't have to type it (I'm lazy!). If you're interested, I'll get you the link.

And speaking of milestones, I just broke 1400! -- Essjay · Talk 11:30, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

Congrats but thats hard to get excited for, 1,500 you'll get a prize. Remember, your goal is 2000 or so. Redwolf24 11:32, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Hey, an hour ago you were typing 900...I can make it! -- Essjay · Talk 11:36, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

Go shorty. Redwolf24 11:37, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

When you got time, read this: Vandalism at uncyclopedia Redwolf24 11:37, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

I'm gonna go to bed now. Good luck on 1,500 :) Redwolf24 12:06, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

I've got aways to go...I'll let you know when I hit it! -- Essjay · Talk 12:18, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

Deal. Also, for a few quick edits, go to VfD. I have two submissions there. NIGHT Redwolf24 12:34, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

You have the distinction of being my 1500th edit. Congratulations to both of us! Now, back to the vandal fighting! -- Essjay · Talk 16:04, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

Score. I would give you a star but I've given you enough. So I'll give you a very random award. Redwolf24 19:03, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

So, did you have a nice nap? A random award...I'll have to be on the lookout for that! -- Essjay · Talk 19:06, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

Yeah a good nap. Now check your user page. Redwolf24 19:10, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Oh, God! Do I have to worship Satan now? I mean, I'm already busy worshiping the F, S, & HS, plus Almighty Jimbo...

[edit] Welcoming message

Hello, Redwolf24

I'm a new member of the welcoming committe, and I have heard you are a veteran at welcomming new users. What do you think about my welcomming message? Feel free to give me some suggestions.Exir Kamalabadi(Talk)(contribs) 11:01, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

I know this question wasn't for me, but in looking at your welcome message, I see that when you said "Sign your post with 4 tildes (~~~~)" it showed up with your username. Use the nowiki tags as I have done to have them show up correctly, and you might want to include "tasks to be done" or some that I've seen in others, but otherwise, it looks pretty good! Congrats, and good luck with the welcomming! -mysekurity 17:08, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/American West

Please take another look at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/American West, and re-consider your vote. I think you'll find that Redirect would be a more appropriate vote, given that the merge work has already been done, and consensus on the article's talk page has been reached. The author of the page was just unhappy with the consensus, it seems. -Harmil 18:44, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

...selected to review a proposal at WikiProject U.S. regions/Maps to replace the current grab bag of U.S. maps with a standardized style. The maps also remove the always, sometimes, and rare classification currently in use, in favor of a core area always in a region highlighted in red, while states that may or may not be included in a region are shown in pink. Please comment on the talk page. If approved or revised by participants, I'd like to make the transition within the next two weeks. Thanks. -JCarriker 19:29, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

How'd you get drafted for that? That seems pretty far away from sorting bands and whacking vandals... -- Essjay · Talk 19:39, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

Yeah I forgot to mention I'm a geography/history/biography genius. Though I haven't spent much time on that. Redwolf24 19:41, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, missed that one...And the serial killer fetish. Oh well, I guess we all have wierd things...After all, I get paid to think about God all the time! What a scam! -- Essjay · Talk 19:54, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

Haha. Read up on the killers. Good stuff >xD Redwolf24 19:56, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Trust me, with all the smiting that's gone on in God's name, I've got plenty of material. By the way, how do you find newbies to welcome? -- Essjay · Talk 20:08, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

(taken care of) Redwolf24 20:48, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

I've resoponded to you on the talk. Have you considered adding yourself to the list of participants, we have a sufferage policy based on VFU's, so I'd recommend you add yourself to the list, we always love to have new contibutors, so much so I've insituted a "voluntary draft". You can go to the project main page usign WP:USR -JCarriker 20:24, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

Trolling RC...I do that all the time, except I look for vandals, not newbies. I use CDVF though, so I don't see redlinks. Speaking of vandals, you scared the bejezus out of me; I thought I was going to go find vandalism on my page! -- Essjay · Talk 20:50, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

What is CDVF??? Redwolf24 20:51, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Ah, I'm glad you asked, Grasshopper...CDVF is the amazing CryptoDerk Vandal Fighter. It gives you real time, streaming Recent Changes, lets you import your watchlist, color code edits by anon IPs, user page edits by other users, etc. It's the greatest thing ever!

For now, I must go; I have Mass in half an hour. I shall pray for us all! See you about 9 or 10!

OH GOD! Something's wrong with Kate's tool...My edit count is stuck where it was two hours ago! -- Essjay · Talk 20:59, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] A couple of questions

Thanks for your welcome. I have made a couple of editing changes to the stub Bio-Bio river but forgot to log on so they appear as my internet domain 200.85.205.210 Is it possible to correct to CONCE ..my user name or forever I have lost this chance for immortality? :-) (BioBio is part of rivers of chile or stub of Concepcion, Chile).

Other question ... I note that to send you a message there is a box ..Leave me a message. I have not seen this with other users and wasnt sure how to send them messages. i.e. whether to edit their MYTALK boxes etc. No doubt this information is somewhere within wikipedias guides etc. but there is so much and I am slowly learning on a need to know basis.

My Reply

1) Don't worry about 1 or 2 lost edits. I have about 1000 and if I did retrieve my IP edits maybe I'd have 1020. No big deal really. Remember next time you login to click "Remember Me" that way you won't lose any edits.

2) To leave messages on other users pages, just click Edit this page and go to the bottom and make a new sections.

3) PLEASE sign your comments with ~~~~, rather than just writing out CONCE. This way users can reply to you easier.

[edit] I forgot a heading so I'm adding one now..

Hello, and thanks for the welcome to Wikipedia! :)

I am a fan of Nirvana, so it's nice to see you list them in the top four of your favourite bands. And what I have heard from Black Sabbath, AC/DC and The Who thus far, I've liked.

Your user page mentions you play the guitar - I'm a dedicated player myself, currently only have an old classical guitar, but hopefully getting an electric one soon!

Also, that's an impressive collection of CDs. Too long to analyze right now, but some of the names I saw were the ones I listen to or have heard about and would be likely to listen to. In fact, I do envy that collection. :)

Again, thanks, your welcome message was appreciated.

The welcome, no problem. I hope you become a valuable editor. I just recently hit my 1000th edit. Anywho anything on my page (such as the Leave me a message box) that you want, feel free to take (or if you don't know how I'll do it for you). If you're interested in welcoming newbies, see WP:WC. And thank you much for the band complements. :) As for guitar I've been playing since March '04. You? Redwolf24 01:11, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

I'll take a look at the neat clickables on your page later, once I'll have more time.
About the 1000th edit - that's a lot. I hope you get to be an admin soon as you're hoping.
The guitar. I've been playing on and off. I went to music school when I was young, first took trumpet classes, but later switched to guitar once my teacher found out I was missing a front tooth. ;) I stopped after a few months, though, wasn't really into it. I picked up my guitar a few times in the last few years, but I really got into it full-time in about March this year, been playing and practicing actively ever since.
And thanks for the good words on my talk page, made my day. :) PeepP 01:45, July 11, 2005 (UTC)

1) about the 1000 edits: I'm applying for admin as soon as I hit 2000 edits.

2) How does the tooth mess up your playing? I know nothing about trumpets :-/

3) No problem for the good words, you might get a certain award. Redwolf24 01:47, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

I don't know myself why the tooth was a problem, but my teacher said so. The guitar was better anyway since I didn't have to go to a distant forest where no one could hear me, every time I wanted to practice. :) PeepP 11:55, July 11, 2005 (UTC)
