From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi Rbcwa, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have. You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox. When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines. First, write from a neutral point of view, second, be bold in editing pages, and third, use wikiquette. Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.

Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me at my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing ~~~~.

Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! --Spangineer (háblame) 04:32, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] D.C. Heath

I was writing an article on my favorite NJ writer Gerald Tomlinson who died a few months ago, I called his widow for a picture to put in the article. Thats my favorite part of researching, calling people and interviewing them. I had a list of publishing companies he worked for and made it my task to write a stub for each one. When I was done, someone marked D.C. Heath for deletion within 5 minutes. So, I did an exhaustive search of every permutation of the name to find links within Wikipedia. Your was the only biography of someone to actually work there. Its nice when you find a connection like that. Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 00:37, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. That's an interesting story about Gerald Tomlinson. Aloha, Rbcwa 00:53, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Insider trading

Sorry, didn't mean to accuse you of spamming, but that page has been getting a lot of it from companies marketing stuff. Instead, I put a link to the Form 4s and Form 5s on the SEC's webpage, which has all the formal disclosures of trading by insiders. Also, as you know, the insider trading page is really focused on illegal insider trading: noting insider trade disclosures doesn't really illuminate the issue.
