Welcome to the Wikipedia[edit]

Welcome, newcomer!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:

First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
Remember to use a neutral point of view!
If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: ~~~~.

Best of luck, and have fun!

DYK[edit]

Did you know has been updated

and a fact from the article Ignorantia juris non excusat, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you have another interesting fact to submit, then please suggest it at the section's talk page.

Well done. You covered a technical matter in plain English; and even when you used jargon, the meaning was clear from the context. :) 68.81.231.127 15:49, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Claims in bankruptcy[edit]

He there - Brookie here - can you see my comments on [Claims in bankruptcy]? I'm sure the data is correct - for somewhere - we just need to know where! Brookie 10:03, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Fairview Mall[edit]

Good edit on Fairview Mall, Steve. According to [1], however, the mall was enclosed in 1978 (it was an open plaza before that), which means Fairview predates it as an enclosed mall. Kevintoronto 13:59, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Steve, sorry for not responding sooner. I don't check that e-mail as often as I should. On Wikipedia, the custom is to reply on the other user's Talk page, and not by e-mail. I made the same mistake when I first joined. With respect to Don Mills Centre, I am much, much younger than you -- I just turned 29 ten years ago -- but I remember an open mall on a very cold winter morning with the snow blowing. It's not a huge issue, but if we can ind out more, we should do so. Welcome to Wikipedia. Kevintoronto 15:00, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

1998 Ice storm[edit]

Great work in rewriting the first part. I know my english prose can be very awkward when I do translation, not being a native speaker. Circeus 12:53, Feb 25, 2005 (UTC)

Integer factorization is not NP-Complete[edit]

You updated the Integer factorization article to assert that it was an NP-Complete problem, but it is not known to be so and indeed it is believed that it isn't, and that is made clear later in the article. Please take care. — ciphergoth 19:30, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

Rogatory letters[edit]

Hi, I merged the contents of your article Rogatory letters with one I wrote - Letter Rogatory. I used quite a bit of your material so I would be grateful if you look over the whole article. Sorry for stomping on your article, I wish I had seen it first as it would have saved some of my effort! --TimPope 19:33, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Poverty in Africa - any interest?[edit]

Hi. I noticed that you've made a lot of contributions to Poverty in Africa. I've been working on cleaning it up by adding citations recently, and I wondered if knowing that someone else is working on it might renew your interest in the article. Any interest in revisiting it? --Pastafarian Nights 21:54, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. I'm glad you're still interested. I expect that as I work on finding references to back up what's said in the article, sources of material that would usefully expand it will crop up along the way.--Pastafarian Nights 03:47, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Case of the Speluncean Explorers[edit]

I've recreated The Case of the Speluncean Explorers. I'm not an admin, so I didn't have access to what you'd originally written, but I was able to piece it together from reading "The Case of the Speluncean Explorers" itself and a couple of other pages on it. Please add anything I've missed, or change anything I've gotten wrong. I'd especially like to see a synopsis of each of the five legal perspectives with which Fuller approached the case.

Proposed deletion of Chas Lawther[edit]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Chas Lawther, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

AfD nomination of Pleading the Fifth[edit]

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Pleading the Fifth. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pleading the Fifth. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:06, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Proposed deletion of Disaster (Star Trek: The Next Generation)[edit]

The article Disaster (Star Trek: The Next Generation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This episode has no claim to notability. I found very little in the way of independent discussion of this episode. It's an unsatisfactory article, as is.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
