Welcome!

Hello, Somecallmetim, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! 

Welcome to Wikipedia. Just a suggestion to avoid misunderstandings. External links are generally listed in the order they are added. Adding your link to the top of the list, or rearranging links to move yours up in the list is frowned on and will probably be reverted. Adityanath 19:05, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Cool. I've bene lurking for a while, and wanted to get my toes wet. That's some useful into, thanx. And the link adding thing...and, um, just so you know, it looks like the order by date of the current links on "Thelema" are:
  1. 19 Feb 2005 - Thelemapedia
  2. 28 Feb 2005 - The Free Encyclopedia of Thelema
  3. 23 Mar 2005 - Sacred-Texts
  4. 5 Apr 2005 - Thelema Home Page and About Thelema from O.T.O.
So, I'll reorder by date added. Sorry for any toe-stepping. Thanx fer the tip... Tim

Yeah, I usually don't go so far as to look for dates added, and occasionally people rearrange them, particularly when they subcategorize them, but in general new links go at the end and people can get upset if you go swapping. Looks like the ones in Thelema got rearranged by somebody or a link got deleted and then restored after some more had been added.

Yeah, I hate pissing people off when I'm a newbie. So, got anal there...  :)

You'll also want to note that the editors watching the Gnosticism page don't want any Crowley links, only ancient gnosticism links. They gave in somewhat by allowing the Modern Gnosticism section, but expect "modern gnostics" to put their links on their own pages. Sometimes a good idea to look at the history before adding a link to see if certain types of links are regularly deleted.

Damn! So many little details!

Finally, for user talk pages, it works out better if you respond on my talk page as I will get a notice next time I access the Wikipedia site. It makes for kinda disjointed conversation but works better having to remember to look at another user's talk page. Just be sure to sign with three or four tildes, which automatically get converted to your user name (four adds a timestamp). Adityanath 21:07, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Duh! Of course, here I am responding in my own page again... sigh...I thot I was ready to start adding, and I'm already pissing people off! :O Somecallmetim 21:52, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hey, no problemo! The only way to learn these things is to actually start editing. That's how I learned them, that and observing what happened to other edits and responses on pages I'm interested in. One last note - if you keep indenting to respond, eventually the convo shifts too far to the right. The convention is that you keep the level of indentation that you enter the conversations at (for some reason I was reading the page about talk pages and found that, went duh!). I've altered the previous entries to show how it should look. Seems even I haven't got it down yet ;-) Adityanath 22:06, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
