[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello Ouro, 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 01:25, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dike

Regarding your question: dike was an ancient greek (minor) goddess. from what i know it was never used as a name (although somebody, somewhere with really weird parents...). if you want info for the goddess dont hesitate to ask. --Greece666 01:55, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/History of Solidarity

I have added more refs. Could you help address the language concern? I am not a native speaker, unfortunatly.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  19:26, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/History_of_Solidarity

The objections raised in the last nomination have been addressed (I hope). Since you have voted last time but may not be watching the relevant article's pages, I am spamming you with this notification that the article has been renominated and new discussion is ongoing at the above link.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  04:28, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] barnstar

Would it be possible to take barnstar one and wide the red and purple just a bit so we can see more of the colours? I think the entire barnstar ought to be the flag colour, but the top and bottom colours don't really show enough. What do you think? Dev920 (Please vote here) 17:59, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, that was what I meant. The shape of the barnstar is such that a flag just put on top looks a little off, don't you think? But the idea in principle is great, thankyou for your efforts. Dev920 (Please vote here) 18:06, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I think that is brilliant. The Yellow and green seem a bit washed out though - can you make them a bit brighter (sorry to be so demanding :)? Dev920 (Please vote here) 20:29, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
I think that is marvellous. Thankyou, and here's to it passing proposals! Dev920 (Please vote here) 20:51, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, on the same topic could you make one that's similar to:

[edit] Barnstar

Hey Ouro, we at WP:LGBT want to upload the LGBT Barnstar to the Commons but thought that, as you designed, you might like to do it yourself? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 01:25, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] From Dev920 regarding skills I do not have ;)

Hello again, would you mind deploying your design skills again? Could you put Image:Wikipedia-logo-crnagora.png in the rainbow colours, like you did with the barnstar? I'd be very grateful. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 00:23, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

I noticed this example of only one piece of the Wiki jigsaw from brcat userbox: Image:B Puzzle.png. It appears not to be under copyright. Just thought it might be helpful. WJBscribe 13:59, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Heya! I finished the poster and credited you at the bottom: http://wplgbt.tripod.com/Wikipedianeedsyou.doc (it only lets you download it if you paste it into the url bar, I think) Thanks very much! Please don't hestitate to call on me if you need any skills I may have! Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 00:58, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I can see how it might give off that impression. I'll tweak it a little bit to clear that up. The reason I don't want to give out the full address is that a) it's quite long and b) I don't want people joining our WikiProject when they don't know anything else about Wikipedia. It could potentially flood us with newbies trying to insert POV or unreferenced material. We're quite easy to find when you know where to look, so I figured I'd leave it at the main address, and people who are serious about getting into Wikipedia will join in their own good time.

Thank you very much for translating Lechon for us, it looks much better now! It's only a pity that none of the other Wikipedias appear to require citations. How do you not end up with the massive edit wars that we have? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 12:57, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding September 15

Greetings Oulo.

Thank you for relating your concern regarding my removal of the two spaceflight events from the September 15. A bit about me: I have been fascinated by spaceflight since childhood. Though too young to remember the Gemini flights, I have vivid memories of the Apollo program and consider all manned spaceflight notable. However, the reasoning for my deletion was this:

  1. During the 60's and 70's there were, by my count, 72 manned space flights. Clearly some of these flights are of more historical significance than others.
  2. The actual launch or return of a spacecraft is usually not the most significant event in a truly historic spaceflight.
  3. I believe that noting each of these early launches and returns on the date pages dilutes the apparent significance of the truly historic spaceflight events.

In that light, I felt that the missions of Gemini XI and especially Soyuz 22 were not sufficiently unique or groundbreaking to warrant inclusion in the Events list on the September 15 page. Nonetheless, if you choose to revert them back in, I won't remove them. Cheers. -- Opelio 23:53, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jan Lechoń

I gave this a copy edit, but you might want to expand the lead a bit, and also define Skamander for readers too lazy to click on the link. Nice article. If you want to expand it, I'd be happy to help you. Jeffpw 12:12, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jaroslaw Kaczynski

Ouro, would you say that Jaroslaw Kaczynski is more a self-loathing homosexual, rather than just a homophobe? What I read here seems fairly convincing. What's the consensus in Poland? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 16:49, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey Ouro, thanks very much for your help. I always enjoy talking to people from other countries (except Scotland) but it has been especially nice working with you. :) Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 11:22, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Scots suck. :D Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 12:47, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

thank you for the suggestion of "Unencyclpedia". Indeed it is entertaining and i have incorporated my parodies within it . Once again thank you.

[edit] Dokusai article

I said it wasn't a great prod reason, but if you wish to take it to AfD, you may do so. – Riana talk 23:59, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
