Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Vinni3! I am Wisdom89 and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Adoption

Hey! I will add you soon as my adoptee. Tell me when you're back at Wikipedia. EliAS 21:00, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

School IP address blocked

Hi, it was most likely because there was a lot of vandalism coming from the school. If you can tell me the IP address then I could tell you exactly why I blocked it and how long. Most of the blocks I hand out are for vandalism though. Thanks, James086^{Talk | Email} 14:09, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Well James, there is a problem with that. My school has an internet filter, and that makes life hard. Thanks for you help though!

You can actually get Wikipedia to tell you. When you are at school and not logged in, go to Special:Mytalk. Then copy the IP address up the top. If you want to write down the web address (or maybe email it to yourself so it's easy to remember) it's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Mytalk which will take you to the talk page of the IP address you are currently using (if you aren't logged in).

Sounds good! I've unblocked the IP address and hopefully no more vandalism will come from the school. Thanks! James086^{Talk | Email} 11:23, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

When?

Whenever you want :) Can you tell me how much you have knowledge about editing Wikipedia/What are the hard things? EliAS 21:39, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Infobox

Hello. I see you tried to add yourself an infobox to Template:Vinni3. Userboxes should be added to your userpage, or subpages like User:Vinni3/Infobox. I will add you the infobox template to User:Vinni3/Infobox, so you can see the proper structure of the infobox. If you want some part of it not to be shown, just leave it blank. When you are ready editing the userbox, save the page, and add {{User:Vinni3/Infobox}} to your user page. EliAS 10:22, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

re: Please block an IP

Per the blocking policy we don't permanently block IP addresses however that one is currently blocked. I'll keep an eye on it and block it for longer if the vandalism continues. As you said, it's possible that a whole network of schools use the same IP address. Thanks, James086^{Talk | Email} 07:56, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
