[edit] Old Comments

I have read all the comments below and decided to save them for the time being at least, so that I can refer back to them if I need to.

[edit] Welcome!

Hi John Cross, and a warm welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Wikipedia? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!

Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :

  • RC Patrol - Keeping a lookout for vandalism.
  • Cleanup - Help make unreadable articles readable.
  • Requests - Wanted on WP, but hasn't been created.
  • Merge - Combining duplicate articles into one.
  • Wikiprojects - So many to join, so many to choose from...Take your pick!

Oh yes, don't forget to sign when you write on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments. And finally, if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Once again, welcome! =)

[edit] Deletion of Splinter Theory

I completed the deletion nomination for this article; the discussion is Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Splinter Theory. —Celithemis 00:56, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Accountancy

If you are interested in working in collaboration with Wikipedia members on improving the article Accountancy, you will be pleased to hear that the Accountancy task force has been set up and is seeking participants who can assist with the article's overhaul. Perhaps you would like to provide verifiable content on this subject matter, in which case your input could be invaluable. Alternatively we are also seeking participants who can help with the systematic sorting of related accountancy articles into meaningful categories, an activity that does not require undertaking research but will nonetheless help improve the quality of the article's links. Either way, the task force would like to hear from you! --Gavin Collins 12:30, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stubs

Empty articles such as Hotel Proprietors Act 1956 and Parliament (Qualification of Women) Act 1918 are strongly deprecated - they create blue links which mask the need for a real article. It is much better to develop your articles in User:John Cross/sandbox until they have reached a viable size. -- RHaworth 17:42, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] STV & link

Hi, you asked my opinion abotu your website - at first glance, I think inclusion is problematic - it seems to be from a relatively small grouping advocating STV - with web links the burden of proof is on the site to demonstrate itself worthy of inclusion - you'd need to be able to defend it by showing it was specifically authoritative, or connected with a significant organisation. IMNSHO your best bet for inclusion is to link to a specific article, rather than to the web page generally, because you can defend the article by its content. Sorry if this sounds harshm, but there are a lot of groups with websites out there...--Red Deathy 07:05, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments - another wikipedia user (not connected to STV Action) has added the link (as I requested on the talk page).
