User talk:Scranton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.
Here are some tips to help you get started:
- Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
- If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
- Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
- Remember Wikipedia:Neutral point of view
- Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!
Good luck!
P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).

Hi. I removed it because there was no article at Reaganite and I thought it unlikely that there would be an article there; it was really just for the writing quality, and to remove the eternal red link. She probably wouldn't object to it, but I thought it improved the writing quality of the article. Best wishes, [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 04:27, Oct 28, 2004 (UTC)
Hi, Scranton,
There's no standard format for book lists. I'd be inclined to something like:
- Hardball : How Politics Is Played Told By One Who Knows The Game, 1988, ISBN 0684845598.
- Kennedy and Nixon: The Rivalry that Shaped Postwar America, 1996, ISBN 0684832461.
- Now, Let Me Tell You What I Really Think, 2001, ISBN 0684862352.
- American: Beyond Our Grandest Notions, 2002, ISBN 0743240871.
But if you want to develop a Wikipedia-wide standard (and that would probably be a good thing) you might want to solicit some opinions at Wikipedia Talk:Manual of Style. And you might also ask at User talk:Maurreen: she's a copyeditor who has been willing to put a lot of effort into the Manual of Style. - Nunh-huh 02:20, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Reverting
First of all, why are you making changes anonymously when you have an account? It's confusing. Please log in.
The reason for reverting is that you removed a useful, working link for no reason. That is vandalism (or ignorance). Mirror Vax 22:22, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Another thing...
You wrote your message on my user page rather than the talk page. It appears you need to become more educated in the use of wikipedia. Mirror Vax 22:26, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I'll also chime on this. Scranton, you're supposed to leave messages on talk pages and not on articles. Cburnett 01:20, May 3, 2005 (UTC)

Re: you missing 24.34.81.251's edit. If you look, you'll see it was "pro-choice" then editted to "cross-dressing" by 24.34.81.251 here [1]. Instead of deleting it, you should have restored it back to "pro-choice". Since you didn't (and opted to delete the whole sentence), it's a fairly good assumption that you missed the edit....or you have a problem with pro-choice (and wrote an incorrect summary)....etc. Anyway, it's back to the way it was: linked to pro-choice.
