[edit] Additional tips

Here are some extra tips to help you get around in Wikipedia:

  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
  • You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
  • If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.

Sorry AMP'd, it was a copy and paste glitch. Despite the fact that I got your name wrong, you're still most welcome! LittleOldMe 08:43, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Hi, welcome to wikipedia - if you need any help, feel free to ask. I've seen your user page - it looks good (better than mine...), but can I just say that, although it's OK on user pages, it's best not to use the =Level 1= headings - they're just to big, and the wikipedia manual of style suggests against it. It's better to use ==Level 2== headings and below. If you knew this, ignore me! Also, I'd like to congratulate you on seeming to get used to wikipedia so quickly - I hope you enjoy it here :) -- Martinp23 20:59, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Oops. AMP'd 23:18, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
Don't worry - we all learn somehow :) Martinp23 20:56, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Greensboro Day School

I've recatted it to Education in North Carolina. Sadly, I'm not American, so I don't understand what K-12 means. Kjlewis 11:59, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE: N overclock

Citation please?

And what do you mean by "overclock"? I got the impression that "overclock" means that you overclock the processor... which you cannot do in flash. iamthebob(talk|contribs) 05:19, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

And in fact, I have actually achieved transcendence nine times, and I didn't get any overclock... which was the original reason why I marked it as vandalism. Of course, if you have outside evidence I will gladly undo my edit... but for some reason I highly doubt it ;) iamthebob(talk|contribs) 05:20, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

When you complete the first 6 (or 7, or something. about that) columns you get a speed slider on the configure page. See my screenshot here. Also, I'd personally rather not have that on the article page at all. Wikipedia shouldn't omit information, true, but Metanet don't want the secret revealed. — mæstrosync talk&contribs, 16:25, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
I apologize. I had not realized that this mode existed.. perhaps my memory is just going bad. iamthebob(talk|contribs) 05:50, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestions to other users

Re In the future, try to actually find an answer to the question, instead of directing a user to an article filled with medical terms he/she may not understand. I assume good faith, so I assume it was meant as a constructive suggestion. Unfortunately, it came across, to me at least, as a command, which is not a particularly polite way of doing things. Maybe in the future you could word your suggestions a little less ... aggressively (is that the right word?). Cheers JackofOz 03:20, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi AMP'd, thanks for the message. This Wikipedia can sometimes be a tough business. I've learned more than a few lessons the hard way too. When someone else says something that's less than ideal, or just completely against the rules (no personal attacks; assume good faith; etc), it's very tempting and all too human to respond in kind. The thing is, that brings us down to the same level, and we're then guilty of the same behaviour that we took exception to in the first place. Your minor lapse was not a big issue in the scheme of things. I'm sure you'll find chinks in my armour down the track. Hopefully they'll be as minor as yours was. Cheers.

[edit] Ref Desk: Time

Oh, that was just lighthearted fun. If you think that was bad, you should see what they did to User:Jimbo Wales. They had to full-protect the page to stop it all. Mr.Z-mantalk¢Review! 02:28, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Ah, that would explain it. There was also an interesting gag on the recentchanges page. Mr.Z-mantalk¢Review! 02:32, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
