[edit] Welcome

Hello, welcome to Wikipedia.

[edit]

Here are some tasks you can do:

You might find these links helpful in creating new pages or helping with the above tasks: How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should read our policies at some point too.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.

Again, welcome! - UtherSRG 19:38, 20 Jan 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Donny the Punk

I see you say that you knew Donny. I met him in 1995 not that long before he died. He recrutied me to the board of Stop Prisoner Rape, which I'm still on (but for a short break for term limits). He was a fascinating guy.

[edit] Donnys bio

The way you put the Boy Scout experience is probably just right. It probably wasn't the whole troop anyway. My description belongs on the talk page if anywhere. It's just more colorful.

After completing the article, I'm going to blog an annotated version with additional details that I couldn't find sources for, such as that the scoutmaster's son was one of his beneficiaries. I hope you'll join in too. (FYI, my blogs are [[1]] and [[2]]. Espertus (talk) 03:04, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Stephen Donaldson

I've used Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser for that edit, actually, so all those minor fixes were done automatically. It wasn't the intention of the program to merge two paragraphs, tho, so I fixed my mistake and filed a bug report. Thanks for noticing me. :) --Conti|✉ 14:48, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

I see this is the second time (that we know of) that Stephen Donaldson has gotten its blockquote hit by editors with AWB. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I will definitely be watching for this problem in the future, and I will study the "known bugs" section more thoroughly. Let's hope the next version of AWB fixes this. My apologies for the problem—I'll stop by to make sure someone has reverted my edit. --AnnaFrance (talk) 18:25, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
