[edit] Welcome

Welcome!

Hello Thesham69, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!

[edit] email

I accidentally deleted your email to my 'ohnoitsjamie' account before I read it (it ended up in the "bulk mail" folder for some reason). Would you mind resending it? Jasmol 21:48, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Got your message; no problem. I've inadvertantly screwed up my share of edits.

If you're the the subject of the article, no offense was meant by my comments regarding the MIDI. I just don't believe there is much room for innovation and groundbreaking in the MIDI aspect of MIDI music. It's a rather simple protocol. Jasmol 23:16, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The "Controversy"

Either (1) you don't understand Wikipedia or (2) you do and you're trying to make a mockery of it. You seem to be an intelligent guy and could potentially be a valuable contributor. You're taking this afd personally; an affront to your ego? I don't mean that as a dis. We all have egos. I don't doubt your accomplishments and abilities. It's not about that. It's about drawing a line in the sand regarding "notability." Wikipedia is not a repository of impressive CVs. It's an encyclopedia.

May I suggest that you transfer the content from the "Michael Haddad" page to your user page? That would have been suggested much earlier in the debate had you revealed yourself to be the subject of the article. Regards, Jasmol 03:46, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Vanity edits

Regarding your repeated attempts to add your name to List_of_Arab_Americans. This afd debate should have already established consensus in this area. Also, please refer to Wikipedia vanity guidelines. The same applies to inserting names of friends in Wikipedia unless those friends meet Wikipedia guidelines for notability. Ohnoitsjamie 17:00, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
