[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Sparkzilla! I'm Xinoph. 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". 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 about U.S. politics! 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! Here, however, are a few links to get you started:

There are lots of policies and guidelines to get to grips with but they all make your life easier and your stay more fun in the long run. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? ;)

I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a great time, all the best, sayonara and good luck!

[edit] Behavior on Wikipedia

Your talk page is not for you to erase. Please do not do so. Additionally, please sign your comments using four ~ in order to sign your name with a date. Use the "Edit summary" boxes so others know what you've done. Thanks. -- Chris53516 14:50, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Sorry about that. Can you direct me to the policies for Talk pages? Can I erase the top part? Sparkzilla 15:18, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
I wouldn't bother erasing the welcome. If you do, someone else will welcome you again. What you can do, after a while, is archive your talk page once it's too large. There really is no point in erasing anything on a talk page, unless the talk page is huge or out-of-date. Then, you should archive, not erase.
There are a couple of archive methods. One is to erase the talk page portions that you want to archive, then reference a history page. Look on my talk page for an example. Here's a policy for it: Wikipedia:How to archive a talk page. Otherwise, try this page for more info: Help:Talk page.
If you ever need to find a Wiki policy, try searching for the title by prefacing your search with "Wikipedia:". For example, if you need help with adding external links, you can try "Wikipedia:External links", which will lead to Wikipedia:External links. It's hit-and-miss, but it's useful.

Thanks, that was very complete :) Sparkzilla 15:33, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fulfilled request

I removed the content you requested, but it will still be available in the history of my page for some time. Perhaps you should talk to an administrator if you want more decisive action taken. -- Chris53516 14:19, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edits to Steven Milloy

Hey... I like your edits to Steven Milloy; I think they balance the article more. However, when you make large-scale edits or move a lot of text, PLEASE double-check whether the refs still work. By moving the text around, you ended up breaking a bunch of references which someone then needs to go back and fix. As an article on a living person, it needs to adhere to WP:LIVING, so functional and accurate sourcing is really important. But to go back to the positive, I think your edits improved the article. Thanks. MastCell 17:33, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the notice. Is there anything I need to do? Sparkzilla 18:51, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Metropolis (Japanese magazine) Revert

Hello, I have reverted your edits to Metropolis (Japanese magazine) as they were unsourced and did not pass WP:V. --Simonkoldyk 05:19, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
