From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello, welcome to Wikipedia. Here's some tips:

  • You can introduce yourself on the new users page.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
  • Remember to use the show preview button before you save a page.
  • If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page.

Other useful pages are: how to edit, how to write a great article, naming conventions, manual of style and the Wikipedia policies.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Angela. 22:32, Apr 12, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Tawkerbot2 and the reversion of your edit(s)

Hello, Ehn. You may have noticed User:Tawkerbot2 reverted one or more of your edits and perhaps left a message on your talk page. Wikipedia recently experienced a database malfunction, causing Tawkerbot2 to misidentify legitimate edits; hence the reversion of your edit(s) and the message. The bot has been temporarily disabled until the problems are rectified. Thanks. —Wayward Talk 18:49, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I noticed. :) I have since restored the reverted changes. Ehn 19:49, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Bow tie

Hi,

You may have an interest, since I saw your name in the history list of the Bow tie article: There's a separate article, List of bow tie wearers and an admin is suggesting deleting it. When I looked into the Bow tie page, I found there's already a list there. I don't have an opinion on which list should remain, but one really should go. I'd appreciate your advice on the Talk:Bow tie page, if you're interested and have the time.Noroton 00:56, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Whitespace after intro para

Ehn, I routinely add a whitespace after intro paras when there are sections, because I loathe the look of the TOC butted right up against the text. It's ugly. If the TOC code could be fixed to include a space before the box, I could stop adding the whitespaces.

I think we have a lot of coders here, but few interface designers :) Zora 21:52, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

I think adding whitespace manually to get the layout just right is bad practice, because it assumes that the page will look the same to everyone, that everyone is using the same style sheet etc, which is why I tend to remove such whitespace when I see it. It's the only way to get a consistent look throughout Wikipedia—you can't add the extra whitespace to every article, can you? Instead, if you want a different layout, change your stylesheet and campaign to get the default one changed accordingly. Ehn 16:22, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
