User talk:Scootermcknight

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi Scootermcknight, 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) 13:27, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding your article James "Scooter" McKnight

Hello, Scootermcknight.

I have reverted the page moves you'd made yesterday, which had turned your userpage into an article entitled James "Scooter" McKnight in our encyclopedia. The article looks too much like a vanity page, and will likely be listed on votes for deletion by other Wikipedians. I am trying to avoid the needless process (in your case), and I hope you understand. Sorry that I had to do this on your birthday.

You may want to read Wikipedia:User page and Wikipedia:Autobiography. If you are trying to change your username to James "Scooter" McKnight, please see Wikipedia:Changing username. Thanks.

Happy birthday, by the way. Take care.
