Hello Spoon! and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

Good luck!

Hey Spoon!, How's it going on your side of the room? 131.215.240.181 05:26, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello. Did you decide that math notation should be written only in TeX on Wikipedia? If so you may want to look at pros and cons at Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics. No one objects to TeX in displayed math, but embedded in lines of text it may sometimes look bad. Michael Hardy 00:08, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Hey Spoon, Sorry, Caltech's motto isn't "Let There Be Light"—that's the University of California motto, from which the info table was enthusiastically copied. Yeah, that was embarrassing! (As far as I know, Caltech's motto is still "The truth shall make you free"; at the least, it seems to be the de facto motto). —Gku 08:07, Aug 28, 2004 (UTC)

hi, wht do you think about removing Radiography from the pages needing attention? or do you think it still needs a lot of attention? I guess the last 3 paragraphs could use some rewording, but the article looks a lot better now? Deelkar 17:57, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Hiya, in terms of the article on sp² bonds where do you think the article is right now? Is it good enough to remove the attention tag, or is there more to be done? EagleFalconn 15:58, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Caltech hollywood sign.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Caltech hollywood sign.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shyam (T/C) 22:18, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

[edit] Request for edit summary

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

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.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. – Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 15:04, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Electron configurations of the elements (data page)

Re: [1] - So far, this holds the title of the most extensive independent addition of further sources to 'my' datapages (wish there were more). You checked that everything else agrees with the table? Nice! Femto 11:03, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Hey, Spoon!

I've been reading through the archives about the debate over deletion/retention of information on the undergrad houses. Thank you for making excellent arguments in favor of preservation.

[edit] Untagged image

An image you uploaded, Image:LloydHouse.jpg, was tagged with the {{coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as {{seal}}. If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- 02:50, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days.

[edit] Edit Summary & Halting of Edit War requested

Would you please add Edit Summaries to your edits on Comparison of web browsers? Also, please stop adding templates for the "cost" and "open source" columns. Color coding was explicitely non-requested for these columns.
Please, look at the edit history and the talk page before you make a change that was reverted once before. There is a reason why your edit was reverted, and you should discuss the reasons and reach a consensus before proceeding to change that aspect.
When I reverted your edit, I have provided a link to the ongoing discussion as to give you a possiblity to express your opinion / convince others why this would be a good idea. Please give me respect by not making these changes over and over again. Thanks. --Grey 04:32, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
