[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello Dwiki, welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some tips:

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alphax τεχ 09:05, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] vandalism?

I don't see how clasifying a person under the proper definition is vandalism. Federline is a wigger by definition and general consensus. It's as much POV as gravity.


The tagline for that image ridicules Federline. The image filename ridicules Federline. The image itself ridicules Federline. It's also suspected (by me) of being in violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy. It makes perfect sense that I reverted the Federline entry. Hey, I hate celebrities too, but I love Wikipedia and it hurts Wikipedia when you add extra nonsense. Ridicule presented as encyclopedic fact=vandalism. See "Silly vandalism" under "Types of vandalism" on Wikipedia:Vandalism. Please read the rest while you're at it. -Dwiki 01:00, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kevin Federline - "married to" a celebrity?

Please retain "married to" line on Federline article. Sure it's close to IMHO, but it's certinly NOT vandalism, and his bio does not suggest any major dealings that go to extent of "celeberty". Hackajar 15:46, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Petition

Hi! I'm wondering if you would like to sign this petition. It's a petition for getting the original voice actors for the Sonic games back (instead of Sonic X). 71.118.79.122 06:48, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:AutoWikiBrowser - Dwiki gets miffed about the 500 edit limit

You looking for a fight or something? Why ask a question if you're just going to get huffy with people who try to answer in good faith? —Chowbok 00:37, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bloodhag

I only wanted to include umlaut supergroups initially. My subjective call. I'm sure others will add less prominent bands as well. From their website, Bloodhag seems very unique.

[edit] Request

Hi Dwiki, sorry if this is the wrong medium to contact you. First off, I want to say thank you for supporting my one and only (so far) article. But I was wondering if you could take the second half of your post down, as I assure you that I am not associated with irishtoothache in any way other than being a fan. You seem to really know the ropes around here--in your opinion, what are its chances of surviving on wikipedia? Whoops, forgot to sign AnthonySchultz 20:45, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

It's cool. Well, you'll be disappointed to hear I've changed my mind. I thought about it a lot and I've read and re-read Wikipedia:Notability (music) and gone through its talk page and I'm now a lot more okay with it. From its language, I was worried it discriminated against indie and diy punk bands, but it seems like they've hashed it out pretty well and thought through the points I initially thought were unaddressed. Also, I've now re-read a few times Wikipedia:Vanity and agree its importance more and more. If Irish Toothache is really notable, they will eventually achieve permanence in Wikipedia. If not, it's not the worst thing in the world to have happen to a group of people. --Dwiki 00:38, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fairhaven Article

Thank you, Dwiki, for the collaboration with me on the Fairhaven page. I had a bit of trouble trying to get the building guidelines sentence to read easily when I added the citation. Your edit of the sentence reads much better than the version I had. Thanks! Miranda Meagan Keefe 16:15, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] King Kaufman

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article King Kaufman, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at Talk:King Kaufman. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. - CobaltBlueTony 15:21, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: GIF POV

I tagged it because it seemed to say "GIF sucks because it has patents and PNG is much better". While I agree with that, it isn't really NPOV. Maybe I'm just reading in too much ;) .* 09:37, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Hehe, indeed! .* 09:05, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
