[edit] Welcome!

Hi Shreshth91/Archive1, 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) June 29, 2005 15:16 (UTC)

[edit] Templates

You're welcome =). As for the welcome message, I type it out every time I put it on someone's page. Just kidding—actually, what I have is a template. Take a look at User:Spangineer/welcome. Every time I welcome someone, I want the code from that page to show up on their talk page. So I use the following wikisyntax on their talk pages: {{subst:User:Spangineer/welcome}} --~~~~. That copies the text from that page and puts it in the page I'm editing, and adds my signature. That makes it pretty quick and simple, and helps me be able to welcome alot of people without too much effort. I hope the links are helpful, and if you need anything, let me know! Also, you might be interested in the Notice board for India-related topics – that's where a bunch of people keep track of the work that's being done on India related topics. See you around! --Spangineer (háblame) June 30, 2005 14:39 (UTC)

Oh, and thanks alot for your vote of support for my nomination for adminship! I appreciate it. --Spangineer (háblame) June 30, 2005 15:39 (UTC)

I never log out unless I'm using a computer that I don't have control over (i.e. friend's house, library, etc.). It just makes life easier, since I use wikipedia so much =). And yeah, if you turn off your computer, wikipedia will still remember you when you turn it on again and get back online. --Spangineer (háblame) June 30, 2005 15:55 (UTC)

[edit] Blink reversion

Welcome to Wikipedia.

I reverted your work on Blink (book) because it seemed a lot like the writing style they use on book jackets, and because it's far better to have a stub that gets to the point than a longer article that doesn't. For instance: "Why are some people instinctive decision makers? How do we get to know a man's personality just by looking at his face? The author explains...." This takes up two sentences just to add a few small details to what was already stated in less than one sentence: "how we make snap judgments based on small amounts of information".

I recommend Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles for some guidelines and The Tipping Point (book) for a fairly good example of an article about a book. Happy editing. — 131.230.133.185 6 July 2005 23:03 (UTC)

[edit] Hello from WAS

Hello, Shreshth91. I'm getting back to you on that comment about the jokebook. Sure, I wouldn't mind a little help (although I might make corrections afterwards). Even though I haven't gone through it yet, I've got categories set up for it, which I'll include and explain below: 1. One- and Two-liners (short jokes) 2. Jewish Jokes (there are a lot of these, which I actually put into another wikibooks jokebook called "Jewish Jokes") 3. Ethnic jokes (these can be with Jews, but they're mostly multi-ethnic; i.e. an American, an Englishman, and a Frenchman...) 4. Put-downs (quick retorts and comebacks) 5. Shaggy dog stories (jokes with a big build-up and then a sudden let-down; i.e. dragging it out to a tiny, little climax) 6. Quotes (pretty self-explanatory) 7. Historical/ anecdotal jokes (either jokesw which I've cited as coming from historical sources or personal anecdotes) 8. Tables turned jokes (sudden switch of perspective) 9. Word play (puns, etc.) 10. Bawdy jokes (adult or inappropriate humor)

Thanks! WAS 03:20, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rain

It depends on the parameters: Mawsynram officialy has the world's heaviest average, but c'punji has the highest rainfall in a year and in a calendar month. The necessary text is present in the article. yeah, and Mawsynram does not have an official IMD weather station. User:Nichalp/sg 13:56, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Mind Benders

Hello! I've noticed your past interest in Wikipedia:Mind Benders and wanted to let you know that round one is now officially open! Consisting of ten challenging, puzzling questions, it is sure to be tons of WikiFun! In addition, take a look at all 9 of our great artistic entries and vote for one of them! Hope to see you there! Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 15:49, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for the Star

The summaries were really no trouble at all, they were a pleasure. Thank you for your kind recognition. CronoDroid

[edit] Wikipedia:Mind Benders

Hello, Shreshth91/Archive1. Thank you for submitting an entry to the pre-round and/or participating in round one of WP:MIND. I sincerly hope you enjoyed it. Round Two, which I have made a bit more difficult than round one, will open at approximately 2 PM EST, Sunday, July 24. In addition, the voting for pre-round has also been extended until the end of round two. I hope to see you at Round Two, so prepare for some WikIFun!!!

[edit] Lyrics - Songs about Jane

Unfortunately, your article "Lyrics - Songs about Jane" can't be accepted for two reasons:

• it's not an encyclopedia article,
• and it consists of the copyrighted lyrics of other people's songs, and therefore is a violation of Wikipedia's Copyright policy

Please read the Wikipedia:Copyright policy page to see why we need to have this rule. -- The Anome 15:41, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

I wasn't completely sure about the copyright violation, but I nominated it for VfD because it isn't an encyclopedic entry. If you follow the link on the article's page to it's VfD page, you'll see my entry there as well. Also, someone linked a wiki place for lyrics (I think it's called wikilyrics) if you're interested in that sort of thing. Cheers. --DNicholls 03:42, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Shreshth, thank you for your words of welcome. Sean Reynolds joveis 15:20, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Oh, and now I have to apologize - I was trying to edit my talk page (which had your template message on it) and I wound up editing your template instead! I edited your template back to how it was - but I'm sorry for the mistake. --joveis 20:57, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Btw, how do you make those custom sigs? Do you copy and paste the sig or do you use some sorta shortcut? Do let me know. :P

[edit] Constitution of India

I feel the tag is still applicable. I want the Constitution of India to be a FA. The US constitution is a FA. Why don't you take ideas from it and expand the article. Ae you interested in featuring the article? You'll have to devote a lot of your resources to make it a FA. User:Nichalp/sg 19:01, August 13, 2005 (UTC)

Don't worry about it, man. I was just kidding : ). I thought it was a joke myself, so that's why I responded with "you're welcome" four times.

[edit] Hindi

Delhiwala asking a Bombaywalla on correct Hindi?! I had the impression that Delhi people speak shuddh Hindi. We speak a really corrupted version -- the bollywood style, not the hi-funda Shushma Swaraj style. I'm not sure what to write for the missing hi-4 tag, though I corrected a minor error in the rest.

Thanks for voting for me in RFB. :) The text on your user page was a little ambiguous, and I presumed that it was sometime soon. I decided to wish you anyways before you become a Wikipedia:Missing Wikipedian. Too bad you have to go, I was hoping you'd do something to Delhi & New Delhi so that it would become a Featured Article. (Mumbai & Chennai are FAs, & I thought some city rivalries could be helpful ;) ) User:Nichalp/sg 14:22, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

Hi, just a quick note to thank you for your support on my RfA. I was pleased to see so much support, especially from people such as you who I do not know very well, if at all.

While the opening time may vary by two or three hours, the round will open no earlier than 22:00 UTC. In addition, there are several rule changes, which will be detailed when the round opens. Everyone who answers a question correctly will receive points, but speed does give some extra points! Round three offers 11 new exciting and mind-bogglind questions, written by Deryck C.. These promise to be lots of fun! We sincerely hope you join us.

Also, congratulations to ROYGBIV for winning round two; it was an extremely close game, with the runner-up, Spondoolicks, only two points behind. Let's keep round three competitive! Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 22:31, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
