[edit] Welcome to the Wikipedia!
Hello, and Welcome to the Wikipedia, AuH2ORepublican! Thanks for the contribution over on the Dave Weldon article. Here are a few perfunctory tips to hasten your acculturation into the Wikipedia experience:
- Please take a look at the New contributors' help page, the Wikipedia Tutorial and the Manual of Style, and If you still need any help, you can always post your question at the Help Desk.
- When you have time, please peruse The five pillars of Wikipedia and Assume good faith, but please keep in mind the unique style you brought to the Wiki!
- Always be mindful of striving for NPOV, be respectful of others' POV, and remember your perspective on the meaning of neutrality is invaluable!
- Explore, be bold in editing, and, above all else, have fun!
And some odds and ends: Cite your sources, Civility, Conflict resolution, How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Pages needing attention, Peer review, Policy Library, Verifiability, Village pump, and Wikiquette; also, you can sign your name on any page by typing four tildes: ~~~~. Best of luck, AuH2ORepublican, and most importantly, have fun! Ombudsman 20:22, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WP:SIGN your posts
Hi, I've noticed you have a bad habit of not signing your posts. You may add four tildes (ie: ~~~~) to have Wikipedia automatically attach your name and date. Also, please be sure to observe our neutral point of view and original research policies. Thanks! /Blaxthos 22:12, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry about forgetting to put the four tildes, and not making clear that my comment was tongue-in-cheek (I added an explanation to the Discussion comment to which you refer). I'm still getting the hang of things. Thanks for the heads up. AuH2ORepublican 18:27, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Please cite your sources
Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Jacksonville, Florida is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -- Donald Albury 11:06, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
My edit that was deleted was for the Duval County page, not the Jacksonville page (I have no idea where to get election results for the City of Jacksonville). I guess that the Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections, http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/, is not considered a "relible source" (despite the fact that it bases everything on government sources and is used by thousands of political professionals who pay for its premium content), so I went to the Duval County Supervisor of Elections website and confirmed that the numbers I had gotten from the Atlas for 2004 and 2000 were indeed correct. Here are the numbers for 2004: http://www.duvalelections.com/ERSummary.aspx?eid=9 and here are the ones for 2000: http://www.duvalelections.com/Election.aspx?eid=2 BTW, the Duval elections site only goes back to 2000, so I *did not* change the incorrect results for prior elections (which, BTW, were input without a source by whomever it was that did so). I apologize for having previously fixed obviously incorrect (and unsourced) information without meeting with Wikipedia's "reliable sources" criteria, but I honestly did not think that the Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections would not be deemed to be "reliable."
