[edit] Welcome from Redwolf24

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] Repeal of Prohibition

Why do you think Prohibition requires a capital letter in this article? pfctdayelise 14:05, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Because it's talking about the end of the specific period of US Prohibition under the 18th Amendment which is identified by the capitalised name, and not just a general practice of prohibiting a certain drink or substance. Note that on the Prohibition page itself, the term is generally capitalised as well. (e.g. "In the United States, Prohibition was accomplished..." and "During this period, support for Prohibition diminished..." to cite a couple.) -- Arvedui 04:28, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Talk:Anti-Semitism

My intent was not to delete any comment you'd made, but if you made a new one, it was lost in the middle of your corrections of other people's comments -- which in general will get reverted (let people make their own typos, mistakes, and mis-sayings.) --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 22:00, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Fine, I can accept the principle, but please be clear; my comment wasn't made "in the middle of my corrections". It was made alone and in full, along with the changing of a single nearby "A" to the "S" that was obviously intended, as well as making the section-header a bit more informative than it was (my impression was that Talk pages are intended for effective communication over posterity). If you considered maintaining the typo as important to the integrity of the page (which I'm not arguing, even if I think it's a bit silly), I don't see why you didn't just reinsert it rather than wiping my comment out along with it in a revert. --Arvedui 01:36, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Basic rule: don't mess with other people's comments, in any way, unless they are abusive. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 00:11, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recategorizing

Hey, good job. Yes, it is too big and too tedious job to do manually. Long time ago I remember trying some bot that supposed to do recat-ing but there was some trouble... I guess my brain removed painful memories... Hopefully it's already fixed so I think the best way to proceed is to try looking for proper tools. Cheers. ←Humus sapiens ну? 06:21, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thank you for the support in the Chapter Fourteen afd. Clamster5 16:04, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Another thank you

Your missive was most welcome this morning. Truth is, I am a professional writer and I am writing a book about racehorses (not my usual thing, nonfiction) and wikipedia is a great place to noodle around in, even if it's not entirely happy with my style. Meaning some folks aren't happy, as they never cease to remind me. gggg Knowing this I did try to remove my offensive material but they found that even more offensive...so here it remains and here I remain adding more fuel to the fire. ..Ki Longfellow 15:12, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] and another

Glad someone else got my point in that thing. Too many of the people involved are either way too protective of the Jewish identity, and want to 'check' who has the 'proper membership cards', and others are way too literal about the souce rules. Doesn't help that WP:bio and WP: Verifiability conflict for that discussion. But thanks for the support.ThuranX 05:12, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] College Tonight

I'm a hyper-strong deletionist. However, and I cannot stress this enough, I feel that articles MUST fail a guideline or policy before I vote delete. I honestly do not think this one does. I don't like it. I don't like the tone, or even the subject. But the fact , to me, remains: if it's been the subject of non-trivial coverage, I can't vote based on my distaste. To me, it's sort of like reasonable doubt. When it comes to miscellaneous stuff, seriously old stubs, and the like, I'm more strict, but someone went to the trouble of rewriting the thing and finding verifiable sources. If it reads like an add, fix it. If what you're left with afterwards is a stub, fine -- a stub can always be expanded.

I'm not trying to be ironic, or sarcastic, or make a point. I'm voting based on what I think the criteria deletionists should vote on -- what's actually the policy. (Man, that sentence reads badly.) --ElaragirlTalk|Count 22:51, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
