[edit] Welcome

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. We as a community are glad to have you and thank you for creating a user account! Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Yes some of the links appear a bit boring at first, but they are VERY helpful if you ever take the time to read them.

Remember to place any articles you create into a category so we don't get orphans.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, please be sure to sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, or three tildes (~~~) for just your name. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome.

[edit] Czech Republic

[edit] Etymology of Brno

I changed the text a bit and added one source (not a scholar one). Your wish for sources is very much spot on. Pavel Vozenilek 02:27, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sorting external links lexicographically

I'd reverted the edit [1]. The municipal website is the most important here while the locatin on map link already duplicates the map in article, for example.

IMO the links should NOT be sorted lexicographically but by relevance and assesment of relevance is rather easy on such towns. Pavel Vozenilek 21:52, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template: Czech statutory City

Hi, I'm from Brno, and "místní část" isn't administrative unit. "Katastrální území" = Cadastral area. --KirkEN 20:56, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Brigham Young University people

[edit] The Page Itself

V-ball, I think it would be better to have a page called "List of Brigham Young University people" instead of one called "List of Brigham Young University alumni." That way, the page could include notable people associated with BYU who are not alumni (current students, dropouts, professors, university presidents, former students who complete their studies elsewhere, etc). Check out the articles for Harvard and Yale Universities; I believe they link to "people" pages rather than "alumni" pages.

I saw the updated page and the link's new description on the BYU page, and I think everything looks good.  Thanks! — John 03:05, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Doug Stewart

Same article so I won't start a new one. Doug Stewart is a writer and a playwright apparently (he wrote that horrible musical "Saturday's Warrior"), but the person who added him to the article didn't check to make sure the link went to the right person. There's no article about the Doug Stewart the editor meant to link to, so it's up in the air whether or not he's really that notable to add to the list of alumni/people to begin with. What say you? --ScreaminEagle 07:02, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

I see.  Thanks for the information on that.  I've seen Saturday's Warrior a few times (back in the 1980s when it was quite popular in Utah), but had no idea who wrote it, and can't say that I was ever interested in knowing that fact.  Seeing as how Saturday's Warrior has been a rather important part of Mormon pop-culture, I think it could be left there.  If someone puts it back, I won't delete it.  —  John 14:31, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
