[edit] Welcome

Hello, Sarregouset, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} and your question on your user talk page, and someone will show up shortly to answer. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! --Kralizec! (talk) 20:30, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to the welcoming committee (WC). We are an informal group of Wikipedians who greet new users and help them get started in various ways. Our main activity is to greet new users. To do that we post a welcome message on their talk pages (if they don't have a talk page yet, create one for them!). Often, it's best to post a personalized greeting composed directly from you to the new user. But to save time, you can use a premade greeting template or a cut-and-paste greeting. The traditional standard template is {{Welcome}}, but there are lots of other choices in Welcome templates. To use the traditional template, type this on a new user's talk page: {{subst:welcome}} ~~~~ If the new user responds to the welcome message (you may wish to put his talk page on your watchlist), follow up with more help. You may wish to suggest adoption. Sarregouset 21:37, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Barney & Friends

Thanks for catching that. They vandalise several articles but they seem to have a special thing for Barney & Friends. It's sneaky vandalism but they are gone for a month. Cheers. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by CambridgeBayWeather (talk • contribs) 23:44, 15 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Not going to waste my time with Wikipedia again!

I received the following "Please do not add unhelpful and unconstructive content to Wikipedia, as you did to Xaverian College. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. –Sarregouset (Talk) 21:09, 3 May 2007" from 'Sarregouset', but would like to object.

1. I do not think the content I had added was unhelpful, nor unconstructive as I was merely adding to, not creating the Alumni Section of Xaverian College. 2. I had created a page for my father, best-selling author Billy Hopkins but which has since been deleted and wanted to add a link to his page from the Xaverian College page. The Alumni section was already there. (Though the page I created for my sister, best-selling author Cathy Hopkins has been allowed to remain). 3. I had been asked to create a new Wiki page for my brother Steve Hopkins, of MADchester Music fame (and also ex-Xaverian College) as he is mentioned on so many other (Wikipedia) Manchester music pages, but with no links given to his own page.

Now I don't think I'll waste my time with Wikipedia again, as [1] seems like a much better place to go for information! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lordnum (talk • contribs) 09:26, 21 May 2007 (UTC).

I am sorry you took it that way, as it was not my intent. I may have associated your edits with others’ vandalism on the same page. Or perhaps I should have said spam instead of vandalism, as Cathy Hopkins is a candidate for deletion under CSD#A7 and CSD#G11. Unfortunately, you waited several weeks to mention this, and I can't say for sure. If you plan to edit constructively, please do not let this scare you away. –Sarregouset (Talk) 23:19, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Template:Units of energy

I've just noticed you tagged the Units of energy template for speedy deletion. Unfortunately it was deleted over the weekend before I had a chance to review it. From memory, it was created in the style of another "Template:Units of ..." which I can't locate now. It was designed for use on pages like Energy and Work and Joule and so forth, but I think it was a combination of it not being complete, and the Energy page being in quite a state of flux, that meant it was not referenced anywhere by the time you came across it.

I now believe it, or at least the information it contained, could be quite useful on Units of energy. From your deletion comment "does not contribute any additional information" I'm hoping that the information it contained actually appears elsewhere. Do you know where that might be? Can you comment further whether you think the template would have been useful on Units of energy? LightYear 03:12, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

I’m sorry; when I noticed it, it had not been edited substantially since January, so I assumed it was dead in the water. All it contained, if I remember correctly, was the conversion of calories and watt-hours into joules and a bunch of ‘≡ 1’s across the table diagonally. This information (and more) is on pages such as Joule already.
You are right in that Units of energy could use an organized set of conversion factors; I had not seen that page before. Perhaps you can create something that fulfills the purpose of the deleted template. –Sarregouset (Talk) 11:48, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
As you'll see on Units of energy, I found there actually does exist a page with all the conversions, at conversion of units. There's no matrix of handy conversion factors, but at least all the info is there. LightYear 01:29, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
I agree; that will do for now. It had a need for some kind of table with that information, and you fulfilled it. –Sarregouset (Talk) 22:11, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE:It took me two hours

What do you mean? Sorry for the misunderstanding. Meldshal42Comments and SuggestionsMy Contributions 12:01, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Why, it took almost two hours for the first person to find your SSSSP. I thought you might be disapointed. Image:smile-tpvgames.gif –Sarregouset (Talk) 19:30, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
Oh, well, I'm not disappointed. The last one took about 5 minutes, so I had to switch it. You are the only one to have found the new one. Meldshal42Comments and SuggestionsMy Contributions 21:43, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
