[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. 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 15:14, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Sir Clive's oversight

Heh, regarding the lack of a much-needed reset button on the Speccy: its main competitor, the C64, didn't have one either, as you probably know. One is led to wonder if there was some secret masonic agreement between home computer makers and electronics repair shops... :-) --Wernher 23:17, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Bio

Er, no I'm not that worried really. All the information on there is available elsewhere in the public domain and in order to properly steal my identity so that they won't get caught there are certain bits of info about me they would need that are not listed. I'm well aware of the risk, and actually the bigger risk is any of my clients from work seeing the page but I'm prepared for that too... -- Graham :) | Talk 16:53, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Hi :) You may want to list speedy delete candidates also at Wikipedia:Speedy deletions. Thanks Dysprosia 10:26, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Computer mouse#One button or two?, for example :) Dysprosia 10:29, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Done well :) (I don't really like this Speedy deletions system, but it does sort of work). Dysprosia 11:12, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Re: PAG

I was intrigued to find out the real history behind Lincoln's departure from the PAG. If you have a general interest in cars, you are welcome to join WikiProject Automobiles. We always need more input and new ideas! Cheers. akaDruid 10:08, 29 Mar 2004 (UTC)

When writing articles about British/European Ford vehicles, you might want to mention pretty early on that you're talking Ford of Britain / Europe. With Ford being an multinational company and their habit of using the same names in different markets for different cars, it could get a little confusing. —Morven 14:24, 12 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Good point, I'll keep that in mind, thanks! --Pete Richardson 10:58, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Request for Review

Hello Peter,

A while back you expressed concerns about the article on Ashida Kim being libel because of being highly POV and one-sided. I've made some changes to the article to try to correct this, and I would appreciate if you'd review these and let me know what you think. Some notes on my work can be found on Talk:Ashida Kim. This is the first real editing I've done on Wikipedia, so I'd appreciate any feedback and recommendations for improvement.

Thanks,

[edit] Matthew Sweet

Hi, I noticed that this article seemed to be rather fawning of him, reading like a publicity text. I'm not sure if you wrote it yourself, or copied it from somewhere, but please try to remember NPOV -- that encyclopedia articles are not supposed to sound like they're written by a major fan or someone who dislikes the topic being discussed. I've edited that article for tone. --Improv 16:21, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Good point - as a fan it can be difficult to write non-pov! And yes, it was my own.. Thanks! --Pete Richardson 14:51, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiproject Automobiles Notification

Hi Prichardson, you were on the list of members at WikiProject Automobiles and we are introducing a new way of listing members, as the old list was becoming too long. Our new method involves having all of our members in a category.

To add yourself to the category just add the userbox to your user page by putting {{Wiki Auto Project}} where you want the userbox. Alternatively if you don't like the userbox you can add [[Category:WikiProject Automobiles members|Prichardson]] to your userpage.

If you no longer wish to be a member of the project, simply don't add the userbox or category, there's no pressure. Thanks for your time, James086Talk | Contribs 04:17, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
