[edit] Welcome!
Additional tips:
- Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:
- If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills, try the Sandbox.
- Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
- You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
- You might want to add yourself to the New User Log.
- If your first language isn't English, try Wikipedia:Contributing to articles outside your native language.
- Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed that you were quick to use the reference desk for one of your questions. There's also the handy help desk too - you can get there if you type WP:HD in the search box. Lots of Wikipedia pages have abbreviations. Also, to use the user talk pages, you can click on the little plus sign (+) next to the "edit this page" link. This automatically makes a new heading, and is very convenient to use. Happy editing! :-) --HappyCamper 11:45, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I saw your entry on the New Users page, especially your note about American English. Make sure you read over the national varieties of English policy. -- Essjay · Talk 08:13, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)
- That's not what I meant, I swear! I didn't mean to imply you couldn't use American English; I just wanted to give you the heads up about the way Wikipedia deals with the diversity of "versions." There have been "edit wars" over using one way or the other and new users can easily get "bitten" by other users if they make changes without realizing that there's a policy. (It wouldn't be the first time someone innocently changed "center" to "centre" or "honor" to "honour.") Rencently, there was a flare up over "gasoline" v. "petrol"; I wouldn't want you to wander into the middle of something like that unprepared. Just trying to keep the "vicious" users at bay by giving you the heads up; I feel like the lion tamer! "Back you bitter oldies! He's new! Back I say!"
- I hope you enjoy the wiki, and if you have any questions, let me know. :-> -- Essjay · Talk 09:07, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Hello!
I just saw your one of comments recently, and I wanted to stop by and say another welcome to the Wikipedia community, and also have a Happy 17th Birthday! =) --Andylkl (talk) July 2, 2005 03:47 (UTC)
[edit] Reverting
Hi there. I saw your summary at the Carrie Underwood article, and I've noticed that you said that you didn't know how to revert. Wikipedia:How to revert a page to an earlier version is the link that will show you how to revert articles to previous versions. I hope this will be of great help to you!

[edit] nudity and speedy deletion
Hello. A picture containing nudity clearly does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion. If you want that image deleted, follow the proper image for deletion process. Some related pages that you may want to read over include:
- Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not censored for the protection of minors - where it states that pornography related articles may contain nudity
- Wikipedia:Deletion policy - all aspects of the deletion policy
- Wikipedia:Content disclaimer - the general disclaimer of content

[edit] American Samoa
Thanks for the heads up on the U.S. Congressional Delegations from American Samoa. This wasn't never meant to be an article, per se; but they were meant as Templates for the Congressional member articles floating around . - Hoshie | Image:ChagosFlag.png 08:44, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. I was doing several at the same time and I must have hit this one by mistake. CambridgeBayWeather 09:05, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Hopen directing to Smøla
Hi there, You were asking why I blanked out the redirecting of Hopen to Smøla. It's simply because they have nothing to do with each other!
Smøla is as described correctly in Wikipedia a municipality far away from Svalbard and the Hopen redirecting to it.
I think there might be a confusion with Hopen Brygge, which is part of Smøla.
Best regards. /John.
-- ** ADDED LATER ** --
Hmm. OK, I suppose it is in a way correct to redirect it as Hopen is ALSO indeed a part of Smøla. Sorry for what I wrote earlier. The reason I blanked it out in the first place was that I stumbled upon it when reading about the 3 islands of Svalbard and Hopen there linked directly to Smøla through that redirect.
So, there is are obviously two places in Norway that can be refered to as Hopen, and I therefore I still don't think there should be an automatic redirect to Smøla.
Best regards, /John.
[edit] Redirect
No need to tell me of something like that...and I really can tell the difference between a banana and a chemical. Trust me. :) If you look at the edit history, you'll see the original entry was near nonsense. Redirects have the advantages of being both cheap and preventing red links. - Lucky 6.9 07:38, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Eagle River
You put the cleanup tag on Eagle River, Alaska, and I'm a native of there, so I could help you out. I just don't quite know what to add. DevastatorIIC 20:53, September 11, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical
My message about the bolding was directed at people who might want to de-bold the list of winners. I wanted the winners in bold so that I could add the nominees later in unbold--if someone unbolded the winners just because the nominees weren't added yet, it would be more difficult for me to re-bold when I added the nominees! So don't look at the top of the list (where nominees haven't been added yet), look at the bottom of the list where there are nominees. Some bold is certainly needed so that the winner stands out; I'm not really sure whether the winning writer should be bold as well. In terms of emphasis, I think both the name of the play and the name of the writer deserve emphasis; this award is given to the writer's contribution to the play, not to the play as a whole. It doesn't really matter to me, so I'll yield to your judgement in the matter. If you think one line out of four in bold is too much, I won't object. What does need to be changed, in my opinion, is the winner being on a separate line from the year. That I'm changing back, because it's important to do that to make the winner stand out--that way, it's easier for the eye just to pick out the winners from year to year with the indentation. If there's any other formatting thoughts you have, feel free to post at Talk:Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical and we can discuss it there.Kevin M Marshall 04:56, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] English spelling
I noticed your comment on Talk:Main Page that said Wikipedia is written in American English except for certain cases. This is not the policy. For the English Wikipedia, there is no preference among the major national varieties of English. Though articles that focus on a topic specific to a particular English-speaking country should generally conform to the spelling of that country. Evil Monkey∴Hello 04:31, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Rick_W._Vanover
Thanks for pointing out the deletion of this article. I am new to Wikipedia (I mean editing it, not reading) and is getting a feel of things. Will be careful next time..
[edit] selfref template
Thanks for fixing {{selfref}}, but do you know why the editors included that <hidden> part with the {{main}} and See also in the first place? (And this has been a recent addition as well). —jiy (talk) 02:09, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
- Yes I meant <noinclude> oops. I understand why it would be used for things like categorizing the template into say Category:Wikipedia maintenance, but shouldn't comments, rationale, usage instructions, etc. go in the template's talk page? Actually, it seems User:Zondor has been applying this convention of including meta-info within the template for several templates. I'm not sure if he's doing this alone or if there is some discussion behind it? Personally I find it confusing. —jiy (talk) 02:42, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Use of "minor edit" tag
Greetings, and welcome to Wikipedia.
I notice you left a comment several paragraphs long at Talk:Proof that 0.999... equals 1. You tagged the comment as a "minor edit", which is not what you want. A typical minor edit corrects spelling or punctuation. Busy editors can hide all minor edits from their Watchlist if they choose; they would never be aware of your comment. Since all your edits are tagged minor, it's likely that you selected that option in your Preferences under the Editing tab. Either choice is fine of default is fine, but you still need to decide for each edit whether it is minor. For your protection, I would recommend not using "minor" as default, because it's a mere nuisance if a truly minor edit is not so tagged, but it is considered bad behavior to tag some major edits as minor.
There is no need to reply, but if you wish you can do so here. Happy editing. --KSmrqT 08:26, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
- The reason I leave that by default is because the majority of my edits are minor. :) x42bn6 Talk 08:30, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] "Rick Vanover"
Rick vanover does not give 36000 google hits. With quotes it gives 83 hits, which is definitely a lot less. (my name in quotes gives 15 hits and I haven't authored a book. Any I support the deletion of the article.. PeaSea
[edit] The ratio test
You are right. I replaced the text with what is in your sandbox. With one exception, I like the period (.) inside of the math tags. Otherwise, if it is outside, it can look a bit misaligned, and sometimes it even goes to a new line. Thank you for your patience. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 01:39, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
- I replied on my talk page, to keep all discussion in one place. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 04:01, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

- And I replied again. on my talk page. :) Let me know when you get that article done. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 22:07, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Method of differences
Hi. I know the method of differences under the name telescoping series, and we already have an article under the latter name. I know, it's very annoying, isn't it? I put a merge tag on your article, but afterwards I thought that it would be nicer to tell you personally. So here you are. Would you mind looking if you can combine the articles? I especially like your discussion on how it does not always work. Cheers, Jitse Niesen (talk) 17:57, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
- My fault. I did not recognize the method as telescoping series when X42bn6 mentioned it to me before writing the article. Yes, I guess the two will need to be merged now. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 22:35, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Template choice
I've changed it again to {{lowercase-user}}, lol. There's a category as well. Hopefully if the software ever changes to allow lowercase titles, that will allow users who want their name changed to quickly do so. — FREAK OF NURxTURE (TALK) 16:45, Jan. 30, 2006
[edit] Regarding Digimon and Digimon: Digital Monsters (anime)
I'm not quite sure what you're referring to. The most recent change I've done to the Digimon page is changing the vocal credits for the 02, Tamers, and Frontier ED songs. Digimon: Digital Monsters (anime) is not on my watchlist, so I don't edit anything on it. Soulsteelgray 02:01, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Loewemon
I know it's a bit mad to say this - and I know you've no real reason to believe me, as I'm just some guy you've bumped into on Wikipedia - but while Frontier was airing in the US, I was in regular contact with the dub director, Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, to gain information on voice actors and such things for my [website]. She confirmed that "Loewemon" spelling for me as the one used in the show's scripts, but since the character's name never appeared onscreen, and since Bandai called him "Loweemon," that spelling never really entered popular use with fans. - Chris McFeely 30th December 2005
- Technically, they are the same thing mind, as oe is a way of writing ö without the umlaut. Oh, and PS.. while I'm also just another random person on the internet, I can vouch for Chris' veracity on matters concerning the Digimon dub Shiroi Hane 03:12, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Digimon Systems Update
I'm trying to get some stuff done over at the digimon wikiproject, and have reorganized the project page. I also added a To-do list. In hoping we can collaborate. Circeus 17:09, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] True Love
Your edit to True Love introduced piping to the disambiguation page. Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages) prescribes not using piping on disambigaution pages. Thanks, --Commander Keane 09:12, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Huh?
What are you talking about? If it is about Template:Announcements/Community bulletin board, if you look at the edit history, you'll notice the multiple exclamation marks were there before I added the link to the PR release. If not, then I honestly have no idea what you are talking about; I can't remember the last time I even used an exclamation mark on Wikipedia. -- llywrch 02:48, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- We all make mistakes. If you still feel guilty, edit a random article. ;-) llywrch 03:04, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ratio test
Well, f is usually associated with a function, while a, b, c, are usually associated with either constants or cconstant coefficients (that change with n if its a_n etc). So I changed it to f to make it ever so slightly clearer that the ratio test takes the nth *function* of the summation series, rather than a coefficient or constant. Fresheneesz 10:10, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Manchester United
Yeh sorry I realised I'd been doing something wrong after a while so I posted on the talk page, because I wasnt sure. My apologies. What does it mean to pipe links? Philc T+C 11:24, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
- Oh no, I think youve misunderstood what I was doing, I was unpiping all the Manchester United links that linked to Manchester United F.C., partly because as far as I am aware the club is named Manchester United and not Manchester Untied F.C., as it changed its name. I posted on the talk page about this though, because no-one else seems to have mentioned it, so it might not be true. Philc T+C
[edit] Sorry
I'm sorry if you think I'm too new to be an adminship but I've been being a Wikipedian since December, 2003. I just didn't have an account. I know all about Wikipedia. I have interviewed many Wikipedians and have even made friends with a few. I WAS a perfect adminship nominee. An old nominee, General Eisenhower 17:20, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alan Smith
thank you for your feedback on my edits of the article for the footballer 'Alan Smith', and although out of respect for your work i have not changed what you wrote there, i feel the need to point out that i disagree with your appraisal of my contribution. firstly, i wrote that all incidents involving friction between smith and leeds united supporters were 'alleged' which is different from saying that they definately occured. in addition, as a leeds united supporter and someone who is in constant contact with many other leeds supporters, i can say definitely that alan smith DID offend many leeds fans by moving to manchester united, and that he did not finish the season by kissing the badge, but rather cursed at leeds fans during his final away game. west yorkshire police also advised against smith appearing in the testimonial for former leeds player Lucas Radebe in 2005 because they were unable to guarantee the security of the match if Smith took part. this is clear evidence that Smith's relationship with Leeds supporters is tarnished beyond repair, following his comments and actions immediately prior to his departure from the club. this negative apsect of his reputation has been completely glossed over in the article on Smith's career, however, and i feel that this is fundamentally wrong, and that it is not in the best interests of wikipedia accuracy to ignore these extremely negative aspects of his character. as you are a more senior editor, however, i leave it to your discration to decide what is right. thank you - perry w.b. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pxw324 (talk • contribs).

Hey, i noticed on your userpage that your "Current Crusade" is to "Standardise all Digimon articles. Not yet started. List of Digimon#A."
You may be interested to take a look at this project page (and it's talk page) where a few of us are trying to reorganized all the -mon articles on Wikipedia. It's a big task (considering how many digimon articles there are) so any help would be appreciated ^_^ -`/aksha 07:08, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
