[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 03:33, 7 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Hi Lady Tenar,

I'm glad you are interested in the spices and herbs stuff... I made some fixes to the List of herbs and spices. I hope I didn't screw it up too much. I also made some replies to the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject_Herbs_and_Spices discuss page. dave 06:44, 22 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Hallo,Lady Tenar. I am from Croatia and don't speek english well (sorry). My contributions will by small, but hoping helpfull. I wrote number of articles for croatian wiki. Here are letters you dont have: ĐđŠšĆćČ莞. Thanks for welkoming! User:Boris Živ

As I haven't said it yet, welcome to Wikipedia. :) Based on your comment at the Village pump, I thought I might point out to you the Wikipedia:Translation page. Only two of us there are available for German, and both of us are not fluent. If you have any interest in the translation project (described on that page), well, we'd certainly need your help. :) Otherwise, enjoy the site. :) Jwrosenzweig 01:12, 14 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Peer review? I sure hope so! I asked for it, anyway. If you would like, you can always leave me a note to have a look (though your English seems good, and I can't imagine why anyone would be so rude as to call it "engrish"!). Thanks! Jwrosenzweig 06:30, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Here is a flower for your work on Night-blooming cereus:

such a nice picture

Perl

thanks for welcoming me. i got this from http://www.wstf.nasa.gov/Environmental/envcomp/nepa.shtml so it should be in the public domain. Perl 22:47, 14 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your modifications to Wikipedia:WikiProject Herbs and Spices/Template. dave 17:12, Feb 18, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Hans Sachs

Ah yes, that is indeed very confusing. I'll take off the vfd notice. What happened is that a poorer, confusing version of that page was posted at Adam Kraft. It obviously didn't belong there. I nominated Adam Kraft for deletion, someone figured out the problem and moved the page to Hans Sachs, and then the vfd posting for Adam Kraft got moved to Wikipedia:Redirects for deletion. Good luck following all that... moink 21:38, 7 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Newbie Tests

You may like to know that we have a short-cut message for directing people to the sandbox. The tag {{subst:test}} yields the text:

Thanks for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been removed or reverted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks.

[edit] Thank you for the welcome!

Took me a few months to realize it, but I appreciated the welcome and useful information on my user page. Thanks again! :)

I have to agree with the said above: Thanks for the nice welcome! - Olaf Fritz 06:39, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Added Attribution

That you from me, also. I added the attribution (the fact that I took the picture) to my photograph of the Mendenhall Glacier. It's nice to be greeted and then corrected in so nice a fashion. I sent you an email before I realized that this was probably the preferred method. Anyway, please let me know if you notice me doing anything stupid.

[edit] Moving pages

In the future, if you end up in a situation like lolium/ryegrass, it is much preferred to use the Move tab, rather than do a cut and paste move, as it appears you did, as the Move keeps the history with the related text. Plus it's easier, and automatically creates the redirect from the old location for you :). Niteowlneils 15:41, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Don't worry about it--you didn't really cause any particular problems in this case, since you were the only contributor at that point, and both histories were short, and are still both easily accessible (I notice that even tho' I mentioned the issue on the village pump, no one was concerned enuf in this instance to "fix" it). I just mentioned it to help you avoid doing it to some other article that had a long, complicated enuf history that someone might get upset about, and mostly to let you know there was an easier way. The Wikipedia documention is so voluminous there's no way to read it all, let alone memorize it, so I think most Wikipedians understand that "mistakes" will happen. If you look at my Talk page, you'll notice there are two or three things I only learned when someone left a specific message. I think most people intend such messages in much the same way they would try to mentor/support a teammate/study-buddy/etc. (in hindsight, I realize I probably could have made that more clear in the original message).

[edit] HELP!

Hi,

Hey thanks a million for your nice note when I signed up for this site. I'm having a bit of trouble with one of my entries. Its been nominated for deletion (it was a work in progress) and I have corrected the flaws, but one administrator is gunning for it and I don't understand what I can do to save it.

[edit] Buchdruck article

  • Article: de:Buchdruck (and some of the linked-to pages!)
  • Corresponding English-language article: printing
  • Worth doing because: German version is much more complete than English, english one is quite poor, doesn't cover topic adequately
  • Originally Requested by: Lady Tenar 00:21, 4 May 2004 (UTC)
  • Status: Got tired of this sitting here. I added most of the information from the German into printing press and some of it into printing. A few bits I left out as well. Maybe someone could take a look. I did a lot of Internet verification of details, but maybe this should be looked at more closely. Mpolo 18:55, Oct 30, 2004 (UTC)
  • Other notes: May be this should be done by someone who knows a bit about the topic, i'm not doing it myself because i can't translate most of the words specific to printing

[edit] Gerald Le Dain

Hi,

I have updated this page discussion to show where I got this information. I don't see it being a problem. I am incorrect?

[edit] Carl Drega

I'm sure you're right. I hadn't thought about the consequences -- to be honest, I don't take a lot of interest in the copyvio procedure. I should have left the original article at the old title and created it afresh under the current title. Deb 12:41, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] Request for help

Lady Tenar-

You've helped me out in the past, I'm hoping you can now as well. In January I got involved in an ugly edit war with a over the Ohio Wesleyan University article. The user had corrupted the page with his personal POV and refused to deal with facts. The article was placed under a questionable NPOV heading and various community members helped by turning the article back to an NPOV state. I now find out the user I was in the edit war with has, using one of his sock puppet ID's started a request for comment page on my user name. My question is, what rights do I have? Can I address the charges? I should also add that the user with whom I have had some heated exchanges stalks me on Wikipedia, so there is a 50/50 chance that he will track this posting and insert his opinion. user: stude62 user talk:stude62 15:18, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Secondary sex characteristic

Hi, I see you put a copyvio notice on Secondary sex characteristic without citing a source and then User:Sasquatch specified a source which is in fact a fork of Wikipedia. I have therefore removed the copyvio notice pending some actual evidence of copyright violation. May I ask what prompted you to put it there in the first place, aside from the article's suspicious well-writtenness and lack of wikification?--Pharos 06:01, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] New star additions

Hi, thanks for the link. Those articles need a lot of corrections. They seem to be automatically translated! Jyril 22:31, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 68.79.59.42

I see you already warned 68.79.59.42 today. He's doing quite some damage. Many edits, and some of his vandalism is hard to spot unless you happen to know it's wrong. I put him up on Vandalism in progress. Let's keep an eye on this guy. Rl 22:09, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Lace Wikiproject invitation

Dear Lady Tenar,
I noticed you created the Category:Lace, and contributed to Crocheted lace and various other lace pages. I thought you might be interested in participating in the Wikiproject Lace I have just created. -- Julie E. 01:21, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Need comment from native German speaker

Unless I'm mistaken, you are a native German speaker (apologies if I have that wrong). Could you possibly weigh in at Talk:Jew#Jew_and_German? Or suggest whom I might better ask? Thanks in advance. -- Jmabel | Talk 02:06, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
