[edit] Welcome to Wiki!
Hello Clicketyclack, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it here and decide to stay.
Here are some tips to help you get started:
- Read the tutorial and learn how to edit a page.
- Experiment in the sandbox.
- Follow the Simplified Ruleset.
- Try to edit from a neutral point of view.
- Use talk pages to communicate with other editors.
- Be bold in updating pages.
- Eventually, read the Manual of Style and learn about the Five Pillars of Wikipedia.
- And most importantly, have fun!
One of the more important ways you can help Wikipedia is by cleaning up articles in the cleanup backlog.
If you need any help, see the help pages and glossary, add a question to the help desk, or ask me on my talk page. You may also find me on my personal blog or xMule's website.
I hope you will enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian. Good luck! — HopeSeekr of xMule (Talk) 19:07, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] ==Thanks==
Thanks for your help with the Independent Media Center page. I think we did a good job. JamieJones talk 13:07, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
- Anytime. Yeah I think your average WP reader (including supporters & critics of IMC) can be satisfied with what's there now. Time will tell I guess. :) Clicketyclack 16:14, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
- yeah man, we gotta get that pov offa there again! JamieJones talk 19:01, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Invitation
I noted your recent edits to the Diocese of Sourozh article and wanted to invite you to come over to OrthodoxWiki and edit the parallel and similar articles there. —A.S. Damick talk contribs 02:26, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you Fr. Andrew. I do have an account on OrthodoxWiki, and have contributed a few minor edits. I'll try to contribute something more substantial soon. Clicketyclack 09:10, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Invitation to join Wikipedia:WikiProject Eastern Orthodoxy
Hi there! I've noticed that you've edited articles pertaining to the Eastern Orthodox Church. I wanted to extend an invitation to you to join the WikiProject dedicated to organizing and improving articles on the subject, which can be found at: WikiProject Eastern Orthodoxy. This WikiProject was begun because a need was perceived to raise the level of quality of articles on Wikipedia which deal with the Eastern Orthodox Church.
You can find information on the project page about the WikiProject, as well as how to join and how to indicate that you are a member of the project. Additionally, you may be interested in helping out with our collaboration of the month. I hope you'll consider joining and thank you for your contributions thus far! —A.S.

[edit] WP:DPL
Thank you for your help with the disambiguation page Nomenclature. However, please don't change the link count when you move a page from the "To do" section to the "Done" section. We keep track of the original number of links to see how close we have come to completing the dump. Also, I noticed that there are still about 40 pages with links to nomenclature in the article namespace. We usually don't move a page to done when there are that many remaining, even though 42 is a lot less than 100. Again, thanks for your help, and I hope you'll work on fixing ambiguous links again in the future! Dekimasuが... 04:59, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- My apologies! Thanks for setting me straight about this, and thanks also for correcting my changes to the Done section. Clicketyclack 08:41, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

- Judging on the frequency of your edits, you do all the boring disambiguation job manually. May I suggest that you get hold of AWB, which is an ideal tool for such jobs? Just apply for the download here. Thanks for the good job. Duja► 09:43, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the tip, I will download and register for that today. Clicketyclack 09:47, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rating the ToK
Hi. I'm trying to get members of the Psychology Project to get together and rate the both the quality and importance of the Tree of Knowledge System. Hope you're interested. Have a great day! EPM 19:24, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re Othodox Christian (now redirect page)
You prodded it as having a misspelling in the title. I think that was the point, actually, so I removed the prod. Redirects from common spelling errors are acceptable. You could always take the page to Wikipedia:Redirects for deletion. --N Shar 06:25, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re Cultural mediation
Thanks for looking at the article. I was wondering if you could give specific advice on how to make the article conform with wikipedia standartds so I can get the tags removed. Important note. As a graduate student of Vygotsky, I have found that the birthday cake example is a very powerful way of explaining the theory of cultural mediation. Without it, most people under-estimate the power and all encompassing nature of cultural mediation. So I wopuld like to keep the example while mmeeting wiki standards. amerywu Feb 20, 2007
- Thanks for all your work on it, it's a very accessible introduction to a difficult subject. I'll dive in now and wikify it a bit. Clicketyclack 16:46, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] corrects
Hi,
I want to thank You for correcting Żelechów article. I haven`t fought there is much errors in it, until this edit ... Well, I have been thinking of putting en-3 in my babel, until this edit. Now I see that I must learn more ... Thanks Sfu 21:55, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- Anytime! I've not been able to become truly fluent in a second language yet. Even in a highly regular language like Spanish, I can only honestly rate myself es-1. So I respectfully tip my hat to any non-native speaker of a highly irregular language like English who can climb to the heights of en-2 or en-3. Clicketyclack 11:35, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks for your edit
Thank you for your edits to Massachusetts Maritime Academy. I like how you made the article clearer by editing the wikilinks. I feel I've learned from your edits. I plan on making a Marine Transportation page to describe that specific major, but for now your edit to change those links to lead to ship transport is a good one. Again, thank you. -- Pesco 05:45, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
- You're most welcome- glad to hear the edits make it clearer. -- Clicketyclack 10:18, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Jensen page
I'm much newer than you, James A Jensen being my first contribution. I'm not even sure if this is the way to reply to you and let you know I read your notes and appreciate them. It is interesting how much our interests overlap - biology is probably the lowest interest level for me from your list but it's there. I did a Ph.D in linguistics and anthropology at Indiana University in 1973 so overlap you in several areas that way. Anyway, thanks for your contribution.Doctorjrj 16:47, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
- That's good to hear, thanks. Jensen was a remarkable man, but I'd not heard of him until the disambiguation link appeared in a list I was working on. Are you by any chance related? Thanks for introducing him- it's a very well-written entry. And yes our interests do certainly seem to overlap, though I haven't got a Ph.D. yet! Hope to work with you some more soon.

[edit] Request for peer review
The article Clinical psychology has just been listed for peer review. You are invited to lend your editing eyes to see if it needs any modifications, great or small, before it is submitted to the Featured Article review. Then head on over to the peer review page and add your comments, if you are so inspired. Thank you!! Psykhosis 20:35, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Cathay Camera Club edits
Hi ClicketyClack. I noticed you made a minor edit to Cathay Camera Club. I'm actually a member of this club. Can you tell me how I can stop the page being classed as a 'notability problem' ? Hkrick 15:13, 25 March 2007 (GMT)
- Hello Hkrick, the best advice can be found in Wikipedia:Notability, including in some of the links on that page. I recently found this essay useful too.
- In a nutshell, articles need to cite reliable, external sources to demonstrate notability. For the CCC, this might include citations in the news, or in online histories, or some other source (I'm not a photographer myself, so you'd be the best judge of that) that demonstrates the club's notability in the photography world. Searching for "Cathay Camera Club" in several English-language search engines may be helpful with this.
- Bear in mind that the admins evaluating it for deletion are probably not photographers, and probably not from Hong Kong, so try to let the evidence require as little local or specialist knowledge as possible. Good luck! Clicketyclack 08:10, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
