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:

Barcelona fruit picture[edit]

Hello! Thank you - yes I did take that picture, and it is free for all. Cheers - Daderot

O'Bannon plaque pic[edit]

I got the picture, commons:Image:USS O'Bannon;PotatoPlaque.gif, from the website of the then-existing USS O'Bannon (DD-987) (I presume; it's been a while). That ship was decommissioned last summer and the website taken down. For now, Google still has it: http://images.google.com/images?q=O%27Bannon+Potato&hl=en&btnG=Search+Images But I can't find a copy on an existing Navy website. —wwoods 22:34, 9 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Do not place comments onto the article page itself. That's what the talk page is for. Enochlau 13:55, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

William-Adolphe Bouguereau gallery[edit]

You have in the past edited William-Adolphe Bouguereau. A related article, the William-Adolphe Bouguereau gallery has been nominated for deletion for violating WP:NOT (AfD here). A proposal to modify WP:NOT is here. Please join either or both conversations and comment as you see fit. Dsmdgold 16:53, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimania 2010 could be coming to Stockholm![edit]

I'm leaving you a note as you may be interested in this opportunity.

People from all six Nordic Wiki-communities (sv, no, nn, fi, da and is) are coordinating a bid for Wikimania 2010 in Stockholm. I'm sending you a message to let you know that this is occurring, and over the next few months we're looking for community support to make sure this happens! See the bid page on meta and if you like such an idea, please sign the "supporters" list at the bottom. Tack (or takk), and have a wonderful day! Mike H. Fierce! 08:07, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bielski Partisans members[edit]

Hi well Colby here to talk about the so called Bielski Partisans which was run by the Bielski Brothers during World War II, apparently some famous guys are needed to be told, Meyer Bronicki is one of them and was also a member to Tuvia Bielski's Partisans one of his men, Jack Kagan is also one of them, Pinchas Boldo is another member also, Mike Stoll is another one needed to be told, plus one guy in that unit who told the story is Peretz Shorshaty, he was famous for his artwork cartoons he did drawings of the Bielski partisans it's important Peretz Shorshaty gets put on this Wikipedia since he was famous who lived to tell the tale, although his character in the 2008 Defiance Film dies on screen right which is odd because in real life he lived, yeah it's important more to tell Peretz's tale, also Beryl Chafetz is also another man needed to be told,

Also David Bielski the father of the Bielski brothers who was murdered is needed to be told, Leah Johnson also is needed to be told of her story, Lea Friedberg also is another Jew with her story to be told, Sonya Oshman is also another to be told of her tale, Ruth Lapidus also needs to be told, another Bella Goldfischer is also another Jew with a tale when she was aboard a Death Train someone opened the doors, she also escaped to koin the partisans, Ann Monka I think was a sister of Bella and she survived as well, also Sol Lapidus also needs to be told he's also one of the most famous that will need to be told, so yeah what might have to be told is they're famous to the Bielski Partisans during World War II, Trooper201 (talk) 06:24, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fasti (poem)[edit]

Your wikilink was fine, but your addendum of stray text "The Rape of the Sabine Women" at the bottom was unencyclopedic. Surely not vandalism, just a mishap. Materialscientist (talk) 08:04, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, I certainly missed that! Thanks for explaining. --Ranveig (talk) 09:00, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
