[edit] Welcome to the Wikipedia
Welcome, Mr Bungle!
Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:
- First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
- When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
- Learn about some of the Wikipedia landmarks by trying our Wikipedia scavenger hunt!
- If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
- Wikipedia has a vibrant community of editors. The village pump is a great place to see the goings on.
- Remember to use a neutral point of view!
- Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!
Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:
- Wikipedia:Five pillars
- Wikipedia:Brilliant prose
- Wikipedia:Be bold in updating pages
- Wikipedia:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.
You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: ~~~~.
Best of luck, and have fun! – ClockworkSoul 13:37, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re: RA
Ah, interesting source of references. My reference comes from the HyperRev magazines of Japan that focus solely on the Impreza, it's history and it's mods. I've actually sent an e-mail to Subaru of America to hear their response. Perhaps one can be sent to Subaru of Japan as they did build the Type RA versions. I will get a Japanese-fluent friend to do as such.
Sincerely, Impreza01 05:00, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Update
Interestingly, Subaru of Japan's official response in the e-mail is as follows: この度はご質問をお寄せいただきまして有難うございました。 日頃はスバル車にご関心をお寄せくださいまして誠に有難うございます。
スバルインプレッサTYPE RA-Rの「RA」の意味は、 Rがレーシング、AがグループAという意味を持っています。
今後共にどうぞスバルを宜しくお願い申し上げます。
********************************* このメールボックスは発信専用です。 改めてのご質問は富士重工業のホームページFAQからお願いします。 *********************************
It translates to R = Racing, A = Group A (for WRC class, Group A racing)
[edit] Type RA marketting
The Type RAs were used to homologate for Group N rallying. I think the chassis was used for the Group A homologations before the 1997 change to the WRC class, aka Group A8. It is also possible that the acronym has changed over the years to adjust to what marketers need. I noticed the Legacy RS-RA, which set endurance records had RA as "Record Attempt". This was also shown for the 2005MY WRX STI Spec C Type RA that managed to lap the Nurburgring track under 8 minutes.

[edit] Deadly amanita
Fantastic dude, I shoulda realised - I checked a whole bunch of books and couldn't find it, then I googled but "Deadly Amanita" of course wasa disaster as it threw up ****loads of mere adjectives qualifying things.......and Benjamin was sitting in fronta me and I never checked..........cheers, Cas Liber | talk | contribs 13:47, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
...I can't bear the suspense.. I've nominated Amanita phalloides at FAC....cheers, Cas Liber | talk | contribs 05:34, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Benzodiazepine
Hello, Mr. Bungle,
The wikipeida article on benzodiazepines used to provide a link to a support website for a book I wrote on the topic. When I noticed that vistors were no longer coming to my website from wikipedia, I checked and saw that the external link had been removed. I replaced it, and then saw that you had removed it, apparently referring to my link as "spam."
The website for "The Benzo Book" contains information useful for people who may wish to discontinue usage of the drugs and links to online booksellers who sell the book. It also contains a downloadable pdf of the entire book which people can have for free, if they can't afford to buy my book. I have sold four hundred copies of The Benzo Book, but over two thousand people visiting the website have downloaded it for free. My interest is not to make money from this book but to share information that may be critical to people attempting to discontinue benzodiazepine use.
I ask you, respectfully, to reconsider your removal of the external link to my website. One of the other external links is to drugs.com. Above the information about benzodiazepines, drugs.com has Google advertisement links to buy Xanax on-line without a prescription. It would not be reasonable to believe that my website is spam while the drugs.com website is not.

OK maybe it was not appropriate, but did you watch that video? if not, i suggest you do as it is hilarious! Kitra101 00:00, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] What is WRONG with YOU People?
Find one place on wikipedia where it says it is no okay to link to a blog. I intend to reinstate the link the Common Album review. If people don't want click on the link they don't have to.
[edit] GA
I was quickly thumbing through some various GA nominations on the candidates page when I saw Mr. Bungle up for GAC. I though "What the hell, why not?" ;) Regards NSR77 TC 01:52, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Presa canario
Thank you for your excellent work on the Presa Canario article! --AStanhope 06:25, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
FYI, I've used your wording in a sandbox on my user page (link). I've invited Frangible to add another paragraph per his recent comments at Talk:Perro_de_Presa_Canario. If you would like to help there, it would be most welcome. Thanks, R. Baley 21:26, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup on Spider bite
Thanks for cleaning up my reference. I need to be more careful about those things... --Hyperbole 22:21, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bupropion
Excellent work on the Overdose section. Thank you! Fvasconcellos (t·c) 23:29, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
It looks really good. Thank you!Paul gene 02:28, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Drugs: Do not include detailed dosage and titration information.
Mr Bungle, I would appreciate your comments on the topic of acceptability of dosage and titration information on the MEDMOS Talk page. Thank youPaul gene 01:38, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Your editions of Sodium fluoroacetate
Mr Bungle, can you please explain why you removed a reference to the documentary on 1080? It is a first account of people witnessing and recording the effects. The video was broadcast on national TV channels and cannot be classified as unreliable. Please, undo that change or use the discussion where I asked about the reliability of the video if you have any concerns. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Envirozed (talk • contribs) 23:51, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Award
Great work! I gather you have the Bresinsky book..very handy. I was planning on getting Tricholoma pardinum to GA (and maybe FA) at some stage but was stuck trying to get a ref for it being mycorrhizal...and distribution is a real headache for all of them. Amanita ocreata is at FAC at the moment though Peter G. Werner and I have a differing views on what material may be extraneous to the article...cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 07:02, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

- Yeah, thing is where you wanna draw the line in the sand really...Bresinsky predates all the hoo-ha about Tricholoma equestre...does it have anything on toxicity in raw Blewits? I just ate my first Wood Blewit which are being sold in boutique markets in Sydney :) cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 08:15, 20 February 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Casliber (talk • contribs)
(outdent) I thought the Wood Blewits were really yummy and we were at my mum's who cooked up some with pork and beans, though I think they tasted nicer in butter than in oil...I found Lactarius deliciosus fairly average, but Pleurotus eryngii really nice..Casliber (talk · contribs) 04:42, 22 February 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Casliber (talk • contribs)
[edit] Update numero two-o
Wow, great work on the brain fungus! Where I am, uploading pages is insanely slow so I hope I didn't wipe anything with some rearranging. Does it seem logical the new way? Still needs some jigging of text which I can do when I get my refs availabel later on...Casliber (talk · contribs) 05:43, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Update
Now I am musing on which of Amanita muscaria and Gyromitra esculenta is closer to WP:GAN...I sorta like the former but there is quite alot of material to sort out yet....Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:49, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:The rock logo.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:The rock logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:09, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
