[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello FiggyBee, welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed nobody had said hi yet... Hi!

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.

You might like some of these links and tips:

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, -- Alf melmac 14:38, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] reasoning behind my edits, for the benefit of Captain scarlet

Comments? I'm willing to work with you if you're willing to work with me.

If we can talk in 'private' on what either of us believe the Trainz article can look like and contain let's do it here (or on my talk page. Captain scarlet 13:46, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sock Puppets

Stop creating sock puppets for your AFD for Dukey. It is a big no-no. ---J.Smith 06:07, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

I have not created sock puppets, I have not voted on the AFD, and indeed I have never edited the article in question. I was asked by David_VI to clarify a point in the AFD, and I did so. FiggyBee 06:18, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Guild of Play, Guild of the Poor Brave Things

Thanks for flagging the issues. I was working too fast, and wikied the artcles thinking I had also edited them. Mea culpa.

The articles themselves contain infomration thatwoudl leave a significant gap if they vanished (the reason I created them, albeit poorly) in the first place.

If you check revision history you will see that they have now been edited throroughly. This is flagged on each article's discussion page, too.

If you think any further edits are required let's work together to get them right rather than leave two gaps.

I think wiki etiquette is now that you, if satisfied, removed the speedy delete tag? My suggestion is that you remove it anyway since you can always reinstate it, and we discuss any outstanding issues.

[edit] Hello

How do I quite you? MegaloManiac 18:45, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Well quite. FiggyBee 01:33, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Baby dont be that way. MegaloManiac 07:33, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your recent editorial changes to the ATF entry. Blondlieut 01:30, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A friendly Howdily doodly

I saw your user page and decided to drop by a friendly hello! Born Acorn 15:24, 4 October 2006 (UTC)


Hello, thank you for your message at my discussion page. I am still learning to communicate across Talk Pages. I replied to your message. Please go there to see the reply if you have not already done do. I wish you good luck in your efforts in Wikipedia. Respectfully, Armycaptain 00:58, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 'inaccurate calculation'

I'm not sure if you did the math or not, but 93.25 feet is in fact 28.42 m. The anonymous editor of de Havilland Canada Dash 8 was absolutely correct. ericg ✈ 01:47, 5 October 2006 (UTC) Not sure what I was smoking. ericg ✈ 01:49, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Heh, no probs, happens to the best of us. FiggyBee 09:04, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rufus Barr's page

I hadn't finished updating it FiggyBee.

I urge you to look again and notice that I do IN FACT, meet the requirements. I will thank you to refrain from conversing with me directly again. Stop trying to play Wiki God and perhaps find a life. Also, get your facts right, pal. Rufus Barr is not me, he is an entirely different person, but as he is my favourite comedian and I am yet to see anything about him up here, he deserves a page. Just because you've never heard of him, doesn't mean he isn't well known.

Thank you and good day. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fufus84 (talk • contribs) 02:22, 17 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Porngata

Please don't add speeddy delete notices to articles already at AfD. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 12:21, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I wasn't sure whether I could or not given that I was the nom for the AfD in the first place. FiggyBee 14:05, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
No, no-one can (an admin can close the AfD as a speedy deletion. I was in two minds, but in the end dcided that it didn't quite count). --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 14:37, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Ok, thanks. I shall remember that. FiggyBee 14:39, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Shiny Diamonds controversy

Hi FiggyBee, this is Leigh... the guy who created The Shiny Diamonds controversy article. I thought I'd let you know that I am certainly not Tim, nor am I in the Band "the Shiny Diamonds". In fact I don't even really like their music. I'm simply a guy who did a Wikipedia search on them after I read a really good article by David Segal in the Washington Post. It seems to me that many people (bloggers in particular) are doing the same thing. Only when we get to Wikipedia we find that the information we want has been deleted! How sad is that. I'm fundamentally against deleting information that people want. Do you know of any way to find out how many people do a Wikipedia search on "The Shiny Diamonds"? Thank you. Leigh8959 15:01, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Leigh. I didn't mean to suggest you, the creator of the article, were Tim; my comment was in reference to quotes from the Post article. While I am generally an inclusionist, I also don't think wiki should become a collection of indiscriminate information, and having articles based solely on a single op-ed piece in a newspaper (even if those op-eds are about wikipedia) seems a bit over the top. There's no (verifiable) information the wiki article could contain that's not in the original Post article.
Anyway, to answer your question, I think it is possible to find out how many views a given article has, since there are scripts [1] that show the top 100 pages. I wouldn't know how to get the stats for a particular page though, and I don't think that knowing how many views the page has would be worthwhile anyway, as popularity is not a reason for keeping the article, and the numbers are likely to be inflated greatly by the fact it is listed at AfD.

[edit] 911 Conspiracy Theories/Alternative Theories

Why dont we focus on identifying individual points of objection at Talk:9/11_conspiracy_theories#Why_dont_the_Oppose_and_Agree_camps.3F instead of having long winded debates that cover 2 or 3 subjects The we we know everyones objections either way, we can work out a compromise on each point with a view to reaching a consensus.

[edit] Cleanup tags

Hi, when using cleanup tags, such as "confsing" "cleanup" "wikify", it's best not to subst them. See WP:SUBST for more info. Regards, Rich Farmbrough, 20:18 24 December 2006 (GMT).

[edit] Queensland shires

Please see my closing comments at Talk:Pine Rivers Shire Council. I'll notify WP:AUS as well. Duja► 09:24, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Duja. I'll look in at WP:AUS and take up the discussion there. FiggyBee 14:38, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ryan

I'm Ryan and I want a page about myself so eat it Aussie. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Liver Lips (talk • contribs).

[edit] Shinobido

Hi, FiggyBee. Thanks for adding your opinion, but I'm afraid the only reason I did it the way I did is because I'm not all that familiar with how Wikipedia's more intricate edits work. Frankly, I don't have a clue. About 90% of the history on the page is everything I've added and a couple of vandalisms or innappropriate remarks that I've removed. If you know how to make the changes and would like to do so, please feel free to go right ahead. Gamer Junkie 01:03, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Yep, I am doing that now. :) Cheers, FiggyBee 01:05, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi again. Good to see it's all taken care of. I was actually in the process of typing a message for you asking if you'd maybe forgotten. Looks like you haven't though. Cheers. Gamer Junkie 10:22, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
