[edit] Welcome

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

  • Respect intellectual property rights - do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
  • Maintain a neutral point of view when editing articles - this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
  • If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
  • Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

[edit] May 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on User talk:Forrestc3. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

[edit] Kalomoira

Its actually longer and it makes no sense to change it if it is already there. Grk1011 (talk) 22:27, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Its not my fault that others don't know the correct formatting. If its wrong, I'll fix it. Grk1011 (talk) 01:33, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New flag templates

Hello, I noticed you created a handful of flag templates with non-standard "country codes". The consensus we have at WP:WikiProject Flag Template is to only use standard three letter codes (e.g. ISO 3166-1 alpha-3, FIFA, IOC) for the "shortcut" templates (such as {{USA}}, {{FRA}}, etc.) and use the general {{flag}} template for the other thousand or so entities for which we have flag templates. It gets impossible to manage and remember these "shortcuts" if the three letter codes are new inventions. I see that you have only transcluded them on your own user page, so would you mind replacing them with the {{flag}} equivalent and tagging them with {{db-u1}}? Or I could do it if that's what you prefer. Thanks — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 07:10, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your understanding and approval. I have deleted the three templates, and updated your user page. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 16:01, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Compromise?

Okay, then how about a compromise? I'll back the logos being included if that is the only change to the table. How's that? No other data but the icons are good. Fair? -- Grant.Alpaugh 01:27, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

First, please sign your posts by typing four tildes (like this ~~~~). Second, I'm saying that if people bitch about it (and they will) I will back their inclusion in the article if you agree to keep the rest of the table as is. I'm not asking because I think I own the article. I'm asking because the changes you are making are not improvements on the article's information or aesthetics. The information is right in the stadium articles you're linking to or is included in the club's name (i.e. stadium capacity and team-city representation). Additionally, the way the table and the map are the same width makes the article look better than the way you have tried to lay it out. -- Grant.Alpaugh 03:52, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
That's fine, what language do you speak? -- Grant.Alpaugh 16:30, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Just so you know, I moved your user page and user talk page back to their original names because you're not allowed to move them. If you want to change your account name, you're more than welcome to do so, but you have to go about it the right way. I've done it myself. Go to WP:Changing username to see some information about it. -- Grant.Alpaugh 16:33, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Oooh, well bad luck in the game so far, huh? Well anyway, maybe your efforts would be more productive and satisfying on the Russian wikipedia? Anyway, I appreciate you trying to talk about this, and I'll see you around the WP. -- Grant.Alpaugh 17:00, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
