User talk:Tompagenet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello, Tompagenet. Welcome to Wikipedia.

A few tips for you to start going. (I'll send more if I see that I can help you :-)

  • Just edit stuff off the cuff for a while. We like that!
  • When you have time, check out Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers + the links in there.
  • You can sign your stuff on talk pages with ~~~~ It will convert to your username + the time. "anon" is fine too.
  • If puzzled, put a question on Wikipedia:Village pump, or feel free to ask me on my talk page if it's a very general question.
  • Most of all, have fun but take our work seriously!

[edit] Sysop status granted

Congratulations, you have just been made a sysop! You have volunteered for boring housekeeping activities which normal users sadly cannot participate in. Sysops basically can't do anything: They cannot delete pages arbitarily (only obvious junk like "jklasdfl,öasdf JOSH IS GAY"), they cannot protect pages in an edit war they are involved in, they cannot ban signed in users. What they can do is delete junk as it appears, ban anonymous vandals, remove pages that have been listed on Votes for deletion for more than a week, protect pages when asked to by other members, and help keep the few protected pages there are, among them the precious Main Page, up to date.

Note that almost everything you can do can be undone, so don't be too worried about making mistakes. You will find more information at Wikipedia:Administrators, please take a look before experimenting with your new powers. Drop me a message if there are any questions or if you want to stop being a sysop (could it be?). Have fun!—Eloquence 02:45, Aug 19, 2003 (UTC)

"What is the point in this page - it is, and as far as I can see always will be, a purely dictionary-definition page" -- Tompagenet, April 10, 2003

Well, look again! Does this look like a dictionary-definition page to you? Wiwaxia 09:11, 29 Oct 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Category:UK Wikipedians

Hi, just to let you know that the list of UK participants at the UK notice board was getting rather long, so I have replaced it with the above category which I have added to your user page. -- Francs2000 | Talk 30 June 2005 21:11 (UTC)

[edit] Templeton Prize reference system

When I first gave the reference (Dawkins 2006:19) I was using the standard Harvard referencing system as layed out in Wikipedia:Citing sources. I reverted it to the Harvard system, but removed the page number, since I don't believe it is really necessary. Feel free to add it again if you think it is important, or use any other referencing system layed out in Wikipedia: Citing sources.

The above relates to Templeton Prize Tompagenet 14:31, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ken Korda at AFD

Hey, you left an odd note about the Ken Korda article at the A W Neill Middle School AFD. Were you trying to nominate the Korda article for deletion? If there's some significance to the middle school article that I missed, my apologies. GlassCobra 21:51, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Ah, I see what happened. I fixed the problem; whenever you nominate an article for deletion, make sure you follow all the instructions at Template:AfD footer, okay? Thanks! GlassCobra 21:58, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
No problem! GlassCobra 13:45, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
