[edit] Additional tips

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

• If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
• You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Five will get you the datestamp only.
• You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
• If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
• If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
• If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Happy Wiki-ing. —Kf4bdy ^{talk contribs}

Nice work on grind. I wrote the article & made a simple illustration to fill a request; it's so nice to see it being improved in a major way, after all this time!--Joel 23:58, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Knife shapes

Hi,

FYI, I redid your nice drawing Image:Knife_styles.png as an SVG: Image:Knife_styles.svg. --TotoBaggins 22:01, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Components of medieval armour

Hi, I noticed the article you made, Components of medieval armour, while checking the Special:Newpages for the usual spam/vandalism/copyvios. Just wanted to say, "very nice job" - makes a pleasant change to come across a great article in the list. CIreland 06:33, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Poland-USSR 1951 territory exchange.jpg

Thank you for translation. Please consider moving the file to Wikimedia Commons - i.e. reuploading it there, categorizing (ex. Cat:Maps of Poland) and than tagging the en-Wiki copy for deletion with {{NowCommons}}. Thanks, --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 16:13, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 1992 Bathurst 1000

As Gibson Motor Sport ran the torque split in the GT-R almost completely to the rear wheel drive, it most certainly was not the All Wheel Drive that made the GT-R dominant. All wheel drive helped considerably in the wet, although as the car crashed in monsoon wet coditions at that Bathurst it prooved that it only helped to a limited extent, but in the dry it actually hampered and Richards in particular disliked it. They had a good car, with great horsepower, really good budget and a superb team. By way of counter-example, it was only Australia where the Skyline GT-R was so dominant even though they raced in Japan and in Group N specification in Europe. To a large extent they were victimised by their car being 'different'. --Falcadore (talk) 00:27, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Plane wingtips

Hi Waerloeg: Thanks for your info re: the plane wingtips at Flight feather. Do you perhaps have a reference for that, so it can be properly footnoted? Thanks! MeegsC | Talk 07:34, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi again. I'm afraid that since you've copied that information directly from here, I've had to remove it as it's a WP:COPYVIO. Feel free to add the information again in your own words. MeegsC | Talk 20:51, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
