Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
• Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such unreasonable information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, and will result in your account being blocked.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!-Andrew c 21:51, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Biblical inerrancy

Thanks for adding references to the "Biblical inerrancy" article. I was wondering, while you have the books out, if you wouldn't mind citing specific page numbers for the content in question. Thanks for your consideration.-Andrew c 21:51, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Euphonium/Baritone

Why are you stating that the baritone has a conical bore; the baritone has a cylinderical bore like the trumpet.--Antonio Lopez ^(talk) 22:32, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

I guess, but be sure to spell out Euphonium out. Also, I changed tenor horn to alto horn since tenor horn redirects there and they are the same thing. --Antonio Lopez ^(talk) 00:45, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of The Good Terrorist

A tag has been placed on The Good Terrorist requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] POV

Hi. You've changed Trident related articles to "fearsome arsenal" -- if you don't think that's POV you need to think again. I've reverted. If you aren't happy with the wording, fine. But please change it to NPOV. Thanks. Mark83 (talk) 20:10, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] March 2008

Hi, the recent edit you made to British replacement of the Trident system has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. —αlεx•mullεr 20:20, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

The recent edit you made to British replacement of the Trident system constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thanks. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 20:24, 14 March 2008 (UTC))

[edit] British replacement of the Trident system

Hello Benny,
I have noticed you have changed the "deterrent" in the article British replacement of the Trident system to "fearsome arsenal of nuclear bombs". This is an encyclopedia, and "fearsome arsenal of nuclear bombs" is not encyclopedic. Please see WP:MOS for more information on the correct style to be used in Wikipedia. Thank you. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 20:29, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Benny. Thanks for your contributions to the talk page on this article. Vernon White ^{. . . Talk} 23:52, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] castlemorton

hiya, i find your edit with the summary "rv. to exclude counterfactual and irrelevant data, and excise hype" a bit bizarre. you have reinserted a dead category and taken out three working categories. you have also removed a referenced estimate of the size of the festival (presumably the hype you refer to?) so to make it clearer the reference refers to the number i have put it right next to it, although normally i prefer the footnote at the end of the sentence. if you feel like explaining what you mean by "counterfactual and irrelevant data" i would be interested to hear it, maybe on the talk page. i have reinserted the reference you deleted because i think its better to have two references proposing different views than one reference with a weasel word ("arguably"). the rest of your edits i reincorporated. cheers, Mujinga (talk) 01:04, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
