Hello, 81.181.0.35, and welcome to Wikipedia!

My name is Will, a.k.a. Willscrlt, one of the many editors here at Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions, and I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links you might find helpful:

Some other hints and tips:

  • I recommend that you get a user name by clicking sign up. You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free, non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and has many benefits. As a registered user, you gain the use of an appropriate username of your choice, a personal watchlist to which you can add articles that interest you, the ability to start new pages, and much more. Also, your IP address, 81.181.0.35, will no longer be visible to other users.
  • Talk pages, such as yours, which you are viewing now, are the way that Wikipedians communicate and leave messages or feedback for one another. All information placed on a talk page is publicly viewable, permanently archived, and usable by anyone for any purpose. It is a very bad idea to publish secure information or anything you wish to keep private on a talk page, or anywhere else in Wikipedia, because of the openness of the system.
  • When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the date.

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Another option is to visit the Wikipedia Boot Camp or the Adopt-a-User center, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any questions you have.

I'm looking forward to seeing your future contributions, 81.181.0.35! Willscrlt (Talk·Cntrb) 15:55, 31 March 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Backdraft

Hi. If you are the same person who wrote the comment on Backdraft (drink), I was wondering if you would be willing to work with me a bit and help to rewrite that article so it will not be deleted again. One thought is to just integrate it in to the Flaming beverage article. The other thought is that if we can locate enough verifiable information about the drink, then we might be able to build the article up enough to stand on its own. Please let me know if you are interested in helping. Thanks! (And if you are a different person with the same IP address, I'm sorry to have bothered you.) --Willscrlt (Talk·Cntrb) 02:22, 1 February 2007 (UTC)


Congratulations on figuring out how to reply to my message. You did great. I added a several more hints and tips at the top of this page to help you get started.

I definitely appreciate your input on the backdraft article. Unfortunately, Wikipedia's policies require verification of all information from published, reliable sources, with that information properly cited. Personal experiences are considered "original research", and are not acceptable for corroborating an article's information. Your difficulty in finding other information about this drink is the same problem I have faced while attempting to improve this article in the past. I'm convinced that it exists (and your experience reinforces that belief), but I can't find very much information to confirm that to Wikipedia's standards of proof. Any help you can provide me in tracking down verifiable information about the drink will really be appreciated.

If you are interested in cocktails and mixed drinks, there is a Mixed Drinks WikiProject where people who share that interest work together to improve articles within that topic area. You are very welcome to participate. Cheers! --Willscrlt (Talk·Cntrb) 04:02, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
