[edit] Welcome to the Wikipedia!
Hello, and Welcome to the Wikipedia, Ergot! Thanks for signing in over on the Africa-related regional notice board. Hope you enjoy editing here and becoming a Wikipedian! Here are a few perfunctory tips to hasten your acculturation into the Wikipedia experience:
- Take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial and Manual of Style.
- When you have time, you can peruse The five pillars of Wikipedia, and assume good faith, but 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!
- If you need any help, post your question at the Help Desk.
- Explore, be bold in editing, and, above all else, have fun!
And some odds and ends: Boilerplate text, Brilliant prose, Cite your sources, Civility, Conflict resolution, How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Pages needing attention, Peer review, Policy Library, Utilities, Verifiability, Village pump, and Wikiquette; also, you can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes: ~~~~.
Best of luck, Ergot, and most importantly, have fun! Ombudsman 00:03, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New votes on Jewish articles
Hi Ergot: The votes that were cast about the recent Jewish articles were stopped and relisted for a new ("2nd") vote, all can now be found at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jewish summer camps and local organizations. Best wishes. IZAK 06:58, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Libya
Please feel free to evaluate the Libya article which has become a 'Featured Article Candidate' and write you support or opposition on Wikipedia:Featured article candidates. Hopefully Libya will become only the second African country to be featured on Wikipedia. Thanks --User:Jaw101ie 12:30, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Article for deletion: Gnaa, Nigeria
The article Gnaa, Nigeria has just entered its 3rd AfD. There's been considerable debate in the past as to:
- Does such a place even exist?
- If a place does exist with that name, is it notable?
- Is this all a hoax perpetrated by the other GNAA, the Gay Niggers Association of America; they issue press releases datelined Gnaa, Nigeria.
I understand you have edited Nigerian articles extensively -- if you get the chance, can you maybe take a look and render an opinion pro or con? Thanks, --A. B. 00:47, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Flat Earth
If you want to see when Flat Earth gets nominated for FA again just add Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Flat Earth to your watch list. When you see it get moved to archive1 it has been renominated. Jay32183 00:50, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Good day, ergot. Rather than create a new section on your talk page, I may as well add a inquiry to this section; namely, does a fictional work set on a flat world merit a mention in the Flat Earth article when it really has more to do with a flat world than the flat Earth? Perhaps a separate article should be created, like Fictional writings containing flat worlds or Flat worlds (novels), and an sourced analysis of the worlds' inclusion in the Flat Earth article. What do you think? Do you have any other ideas where it would be a good idea to take an article? Gracenotes T § 04:08, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

[edit] Nikhil Parekh
I have just placed this notice on the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nikhil Parekh page, and am bringing every voter's attention to it as promised.
Comment. Sigh. Despite the inevitable tirade that this will unleash, I am sorry to have to bring new information to the table. I have this morning received an email from Vijaya Ghose, editor of the Limca Book of Records. "Dear Mr (----), We have enlisted a couple of claims of Nikhil Parekh. Longest Poem is not one of them. He has formidable competition in John Milton's Paradise Lost and our own Mahabharata. However, he has written to many heads of state and has received replies but not from the head of state but the secretary or executive assistant. He is is the first from India to feature on Eppie. We checked with them. Regards Vijaya Ghose. So Parekh, though probably not notable as a poet, is indeed an Indian world record holder. I suspect that this changes the balance on his notability, though the article would still require a great deal of clear-up. I will notify everyone who took part in this vote and ask admins to extend debate a little. Sorry.
I don't know whether this changes your vote, but thought you should know. Vizjim 06:04, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
