Hello, Tompagenet. Welcome to Wikipedia.

A few tips for you to start going. (I'll send more if I see that I can help you :-)

  • Just edit stuff off the cuff for a while. We like that!
  • When you have time, check out Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers + the links in there.
  • You can sign your stuff on talk pages with ~~~~ It will convert to your username + the time. "anon" is fine too.
  • If puzzled, put a question on Wikipedia:Village pump, or feel free to ask me on my talk page if it's a very general question.
  • Most of all, have fun but take our work seriously!

Regarding the edit you made to Extortion, please see Wikipedia:Legal_advice. The disclaimer you deleted is encouraged on such pages. Angela 19:44, 1 Aug 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Sysop status granted

Congratulations, you have just been made a sysop! You have volunteered for boring housekeeping activities which normal users sadly cannot participate in. Sysops basically can't do anything: They cannot delete pages arbitarily (only obvious junk like "jklasdfl,öasdf JOSH IS GAY"), they cannot protect pages in an edit war they are involved in, they cannot ban signed in users. What they can do is delete junk as it appears, ban anonymous vandals, remove pages that have been listed on Votes for deletion for more than a week, protect pages when asked to by other members, and help keep the few protected pages there are, among them the precious Main Page, up to date.

Note that almost everything you can do can be undone, so don't be too worried about making mistakes. You will find more information at Wikipedia:Administrators, please take a look before experimenting with your new powers. Drop me a message if there are any questions or if you want to stop being a sysop (could it be?). Have fun!—Eloquence 02:45, Aug 19, 2003 (UTC)

"What is the point in this page - it is, and as far as I can see always will be, a purely dictionary-definition page" -- Tompagenet, April 10, 2003

Well, look again! Does this look like a dictionary-definition page to you? Wiwaxia 09:11, 29 Oct 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Category:UK Wikipedians

Hi, just to let you know that the list of UK participants at the UK notice board was getting rather long, so I have replaced it with the above category which I have added to your user page. -- Francs2000 | Talk 30 June 2005 21:11 (UTC)

I see you have contributed to the BASIC programming language article on Wikipedia. Any chance you would like to join in editing the wikibook: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Programming:Visual_Basic_Classic? --Kjwhitefoot 11:01, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Templeton Prize reference system

When I first gave the reference (Dawkins 2006:19) I was using the standard Harvard referencing system as layed out in Wikipedia:Citing sources. I reverted it to the Harvard system, but removed the page number, since I don't believe it is really necessary. Feel free to add it again if you think it is important, or use any other referencing system layed out in Wikipedia: Citing sources.

The above relates to Templeton Prize Tompagenet 14:31, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
