[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello Sir Ophiuchus, welcome to Wikipedia!
I noticed nobody had said hi yet... Hi!
If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.
You might like some of these links and tips:
- some General guidance.
- Tutorial and the Manual of Style.
- Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
- Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~).
- Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board
- Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
- Use the Show preview button
- Provide an Edit summary
- Add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload
- Take a look at Consensus of standards
- Create a User page
If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Wikipedia Boot Camp, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing! -- Alf melmac 18:45, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the welcome - I've been around for a while and nobody said hi! The links are great too. --Sir Ophiuchus 18:47, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 02:38, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shoggoth on the Roof
Hello. I just cut "purportedly written by a member of the society who was later institutionalised" down to "written by a member of the society" - "later institutionalised" just seemed like a standard Cthulhu joke that would need to be boringly overexplained to be encyclopaedic, and after removing it, "purported" was no longer necessary to the sentence (the society freely admitting that the musical was written by one of their members, so far as I can tell).
If the writer genuinely was institutionalised, then I apologise and it should maybe go back in with greater context, but if it's just a throwaway joke, we should either drop it or overexplain it, and I'd go with dropping it. --McGeddon 09:50, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
Okay, I've edited the article to clarify that the authorship is credited rather than factual. We can't say anything about it being written by the heads of the HPLPS if this is carefully avoided in all official literature, but maybe they prefer that to be the case. --McGeddon 12:41, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
