Welcome!

Hello, SLi, Welcome to Wikipedia!
I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at Naming Conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and if you can't find your answer there, check the Village pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my New-Users' Talk Page.
Additional tips:
Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:
  • If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.
  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills, try the Sandbox.
  • Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
  • You might want to add yourself to the New User Log
  • If your first language isn't English, try Wikipedia:Contributing to articles outside your native language
Happy editing!

[edit] Apple Filing Protocol

I don't think I explained myself very well regarding the change to Apple Filing Protocol, so I posted a more detailed explanation on Talk:Apple Filing Protocol. Thanks. --Steven Fisher 21:21, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Fnagaton

Insofar as I'm aware, there is no policy against removing messages from your own talk page as long as its not in bad faith. Please do be as civil and courteous as possible to Fnagaton; the last thing this ongoing debate needs is for people to feel like they're being attacked. Thanks! -- mattb @ 2007-04-10T00:42Z

Ah, yes. I misread, the policy says: "Policy does not prohibit users from removing comments from their own talk pages, though archiving is preferred. Please note, though, that the removal of good-faith warnings, even though permitted, is often frowned upon". I read that somehow like "policy does not allow..." (yeah, it happens, I'm not native English speaker.) Sorry for bothering you about that. :) I'll try to be polite to Fnagaton. --SLi 00:47, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
Just so you don't feel bad, you aren't even close to being the first person to make that mistake. :)
Heck, even admins sometimes still make it. (I actually think it used to be against the rules to remove comments until relatively recently) Bladestorm 15:58, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, yes blocked users can edit their own user talk pages only. It's how they can use the unblock templates. Cheers. ⇒ SWATJester On Belay! 15:08, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 3RR Warning

You have reverted the same block of changes three times, despite two requests to talk about your changes you have not talked about them: [[1]] [[2]] [[3]]

If you do not restore to my last revision I will make a 3RR report. Fnagaton 19:53, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Go ahead. --SLi 19:56, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello, SLi. I have reviewed the report. You did break 3RR. This is an odd case, as it's on a Wikipedia Talk namespace, but 3RR does apply there as well. You may not have been cognizant of that, and the above warning that reminds you doesn't come until after the fourth revert. Remember 3RR is just an "electric fence", not a judgment of the rightness or wrongness of your edits. If, as a show of good faith, you will now go and put the strikeouts back in, along with a note to other editors to ask someone else to remove the strikeouts if they agree with you, then the disruption will be alleviated and I will decline to block. ··coelacan 10:32, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia Talk namespace is one of the less disruptive places to revert war. I'm blocking you for six hours to enforce 3RR. I've also warned Fnagaton not to make another revert unilaterally; this edit war isn't going to continue unless someone else agrees with Fnagaton. This should be the end of it, and you don't have to mangle your text. ··coelacan 19:34, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you. That doesn't seem too unreasonable! --SLi 23:50, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of generic and genericized trademarks

You have tagged an entire section in the subject list. Please go to Talk:List of generic and genericized trademarks and identify which entries you believe to be OR so other editors can address your concerns. Thanks, ComputerGeezer (talk) 02:11, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Done. Thanks. --SLi (talk) 22:46, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
