[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 19:33, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Tarpit???

from the pump

Weird..... When I tried to save the page with the comment above, I was redirected to http://download.wikimedia.org/tarpit.php..... What on earth is that? (twice now...) \Mikez 08:49, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Has to edit the whole page instead to be able to make any changes. What kind of sick joke is this?? \Mikez 08:53, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)
It's not a sick joke. It's a page to which malicious bots are supposed to be redirected so that they are slowed down. Unfortunately the code is not perfectly tuned and you fell afoul of it. Jeronim 09:55, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Sorry everyone! I didn't mean anything personal. I never heard of it before, and hence I was a bit surprised when I saw it. But, now I know about it I think I can handle an occasional dip in the tar pit:)
Conserning my comment above, I sincerely hope noone is offended - I can now see it was a bit too harsh. \Mikez 10:06, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Just be glad the page isn't protected. The problem with section editing should be fixed now. -- Tim Starling

[edit] Primeval swamps of Scania

Mikez, I couldn't help but notice your latest (no doubt your last, too) edit subjectline in the Sång till Skåne debate: "forget I ever entered this swamp". I just had to drop you a line to say: shake hands, brother, me too. I wonder if the SP folks will notice there's only themselves left to argue with? I can't even remember any more why Geogre and I bothered to put the page up for deletion in the first place. Deleting it or not seems really unimportant now, especially after Snio and cNilson have assured us that it's the most important thing in the world for us — in their heads, we live for deleting their song, because we're secretly Sverigedemokrater or Nationaldemokrater or whatever nutty right-wing fraction they're talking about (never been so insulted in my life). Anyway, thanks for trying, Mikez, sorry the mud engulfed you there. Best wishes, Bishonen 10:09, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)
