[edit] Welcome to the Wikipedia
Welcome, newcomer!
Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:
- First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
- When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
- Remember to use a neutral point of view!
- If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
- Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!
Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:
- Wikipedia:Policy Library
- Wikipedia:Utilities
- Wikipedia:Cite your sources
- Wikipedia:Verifiability
- Wikipedia:Wikiquette
- Wikipedia:Civility
- Wikipedia:Conflict resolution
- Wikipedia:Brilliant prose
- Wikipedia:Pages needing attention
- Wikipedia:Peer review
- Wikipedia:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
- Wikipedia:Village pump
- Wikipedia:Boilerplate text
Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.
You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: ~~~~.
Best of luck, and have fun!

[edit] Please write summaries
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

[edit] "It is often cited as the longest continuous straight corridor in the world."
If it is "often cited," could you supply one of those citations? I'm personally skeptical... I'd have thought the Pentagon had longer corridors. Anyway, per the verifiability policy, I'm requesting that you supply a published source for this. Dpbsmith (talk) 20:15, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Degenerate matrix
Hi Jitse, I couldn't find any reference for zero row or column matrix you mentioned in degenerate matrix. Can you point a definition? Why is it useful? physicistjedi 23:39, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
- If I remember correctly, I saw the one-line article you created, and I thought that it was odd, as I did not remember ever seeing this term. In fact, I thought "degenerate matrix" referred to a matrix with degenerate eigenvalues (eigenvalues with multiplicity greater than 1). However, when looking for references, I could not find any quickly; instead, I found references for the zero rows / columns meaning. Embarrassingly, I don't remember the reference (I didn't write it because degenerate matrix is a disambiguation page, though I now regret this). The only reference I can find now is the first Google hit for "degenerate matrix", which says: "Like all definitions so far, they even work for degenerate matrices with no rows and no columns" [1]. However, it seems the common name is "empty matrix". It is not very important, but useful in the same way as the empty sum and the empty product. There is even an article about it.
- In view of this information, I made degenerate matrix into a redirect to invertible matrix. Thanks for keeping an eye on me! Cheers, Jitse Niesen (talk) 07:25, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] merhaba
Wikipedia'yı genel olarak kullanışlı bir bilgi kaynağı olarak görmeme karşın Türkiye ile ilgili birçok konuda Batılı(!) bir önyargı olduğunu üzülerek görüyorum. Ermeni sorununun ya da Kıbrıs konusunun tartışmalı olmasını doğal karşılamak gerek ancak PKK ile ilgili maddeler sürekli engelleniyor; (zaten var olan) terör kurbanları kategorisi altında PKK tarafından öldürülen sivillere (öncelikle öğretmenlere) yer vermeye çalışıyorum ancak PKK'nın terörist olara nitelendirilmesi bile engelleniyor. Bu konuda yardımlarınızı bekliyorum. bkz:User talk:Cool Cat Yasemin Tekin --Hattusili 07:00, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Haggith
I don't think that your stub is very appropriate here. It's probably more to do with Judaism than Christianity, and Orthodox Jews would take great exception to you labelling it as a Christian thing. Maybe tag it Old-Testiment-Stub if there is one. jmd 02:05, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Turkey
Hi, Can you keep an eye on the Turkey article? Some anti-Turkish chauvanists are trying to insert some extremely POV sentences about Turkey's history on there, concerning armenians, the cyprus operation etc. This has been going on for some time now. Thank you.--Kilhan 17:03, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] İlham Əliyev
Hi,
In Talk:İlham Əliyev#Survey on move you write : "As a side note: Safari browser does not show the title properly even in UTF-8 mode, Firefox for Mac does." It is not true. I use Mac OS X and Safari since it exists, and I've never had a problem with such letters as "Ə". The title is perfectly displayed by Safari, by Firefox and by Wikipedia Dashboard.

[edit] Category renaming
To rename a category:
- Copy-paste category description to the new location. It's best to list authors of the old category in the edit summary.
- Edit all articles in the category to reflect the rename.
- Delete the old category (requires an admin).
- Move talk page, if any (requires an admin).
These actions are usually done by a bot, but it may take some time (there's some backlog), and everyone's welcome to assist. Conscious 07:37, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References section
Hi, this is just to let you know that removing a References section and changing it to External links [2] creates confusion as to what was, and wasn't, used as a reference. Better in future to create a separate Further reading section for anything extra you want to add. See WP:CITE. Cheers, SlimVirgin (talk) 15:26, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Article to be looked into
May I bring to your attention the Turkification article. There seems to be an edit war involving a couple of Greek users who seem all the too-eager to insert some highly POVish statements. It seems that there are unable to comprehend the scope of the article and Im unable to revert for fear of breaking the 3RR. Would you take a look over there and reason? Thanks in advance:)--Kilhan 12:48, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A heads up
Just a head up: a somewhat annoyed user left me a message on my talk page that I think was intended for you. It reads as follows:
- Sir, You delete my factual information (not the fan quotations; I didn't do that) on the Yeni Turku page (in English) and claim it's a "cleanup," then leave obvious grammatical errors: "best-known band," "since the establishment," et cetera. I find this incongruous. What say you? Sincerely, Warren1968 00:58, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
I let him know that he was pointing fingers at the wrong guy, so it's only a matter of time until he realizes his error. Have fun! – ClockworkSoul 05:22, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] still, the grammatical errors persisted on your revision

[edit] Kaptan-ı Derya and Kaptan Pasha
Hello Jedi! I am taking the initiative of renaming Kaptan-ı Derya article into Kaptan Pasha. As you can see from the Turkish Naval Forces page here (http://www.dzkk.tsk.mil.tr/english/Tarihce/DonanmaKomutanligi.asp), Kaptan-ı Derya became a pasha shortly after the institution of the rank (as of Fatih), with both terms (Kaptan-ı Derya and Kaptan Pasha) used concurrently afterwards. Kaptan Pasha will make easier read in English, although it is important to also include the historic spelling of Kapudan Pasha. I am opening an article on the full list as well, to be copied from the Turkish wikipedia. Please get back to me if you comments. Cretanforever 11:34, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
