[edit] Welcome
Hi ZoFreX, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for joining the coolest online encyclopedia I know of. I hope you stick around. You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox. Check out the simplified ruleset. When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines.
- Write from a neutral point of view
- Be bold in editing pages
- Use wikiquette.
Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.
Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me on my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing 4 tildes like ~~~~. Always sign the talk page, never the articles.
Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing!May the Force be with you! Shreshth91($ |-| r 3 $ |-| t |-|)

Well, seems only fair; I nicked it from User:Talrias without asking myself. :-) Mindspillage (spill yours?) 02:46, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WikiProject V8 Supercars
Hi, I was having a look at some of your edits and thought you might like to join WikiProject V8 Supercars. I know a bit about templates, but you see quite qualified in that department and could be valuable to important areas of our project. Let me know what you think. All the best, TydeNet 03:36, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hi
Hey man, didn't realise you were into Wikipedia. I found your page in the template coder category. Out of curiosity, did you see the userbox on my page and add it, or find it through Help? Just interested because I set the whole thing up, it was quite coincidental. -- Alfakim -- talk 01:09, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
- I found it through help, had no idea you made it (thanks!) or that you were on Wikipedia. Hi! :D ZoFreX 15:58, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Article request
Hi James,
Been having a look at the Key Skills Qualification article, specifically the last section. Is it just me, or does it seem biased and unencyclopaedic? If so, should it be flagged in some way as in need of attention or somesuch? Still testing the water with this whole wikipedia malarky...
Thought the article made a good point or two...remember General Studies? lol
Cheers, Chris. --Chrisd87 22:42, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Template question
I saw you listed in the category template designers, so I'm hoping you can help me. Do you know how to incorporate the four-tilde signature into templates? The thing is, I have a template that generates a talk page warning contained within a frame, but when I use it, I have to write it like this: {{subst:User:Kafziel/vandal}} ~~~~. That puts my signature outside the box, which doesn't look so hot. How can I set it up so I can separate the main template from my signature with a "|" and have the whole thing contained within the brackets (so it reads {{subst:User:Kafziel/vandal|~~~~}})?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give. Kafziel 15:43, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Help request
As a fellow law student, would you like to help by reviewing the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998? I'd much appreciate your efforts if you did. I might not be online for a few days, but I shall endeavour to reply the messages posted on my talk page. Regards, --Andy123(talk) 13:09, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Paasive Aggressive
I agree with you entirely. Sometimes, one can only fight fire with fire... As for examples of passive aggressive behaviour, here's a classic: "Your argument that sometimes the user "deserved" a personal attack does you no credit either." Trusting that you won't take this the wrong way, but ultimately not caring particularly if you do: Don't be a dick. ElectricRay 22:52, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
