Hi Jemiller226, and a warm welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Wikipedia? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!
- Editing tutorial, learn to have fun with Wikipedia.
- Picture tutorial, instructions on uploading images.
- How to write a great article, to make it an featured article status.
- Manual of Style, how articles should be written.
Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :
Oh yes, don't forget to sign when you write on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments. And finally, if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Once again, welcome! =)

Hi Justin - you wrote:
Quite simple really -
Category:Substubs is slowly being emptied (it's down from 3000 stubs a week ago to about 900 now). I'm checking through about 100-150 of them per day, and others are also sifting. The vast majority are being categorised where they can be found by editors more easily (in one of the stub subcategories), or being merged, or vfd'd, or moved to wiktionary. There are bound to be a handful which don't quite fit into any of the currently existing categories, and they are going back into the main stub category for now. It is only a handful, though - I'd say about 5% of the ones I deal with go back there, if that.

If they look like they could grow into reasonable articles and you can find a suitable specialist stub category for them, I'd do that. Others, feel free to move them to substub (as long as they're not ones that have just been moved from there!). Some of them are probably ones which are candidates for deletion or moving to wiktionary, and it's still easier to find them via substub. Don't be surprised if one or two of them turn up in
category: Stub again, though!

Hi, Regarding your edit today at Boiserie do you really think it is an architectural stub, to my way of thinking its more carpentry, interior design or something like that. Giano | talk 21:20, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
Jemiller, either you suggest that Arheimar be listed for deletion, or you expand the article. AFAIK, the article can not be expanded beyond stub status. There is a reason for the notstub to exist.-- Wiglaf 21:01, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply, there are quite a few of us called after him you know! Giano | talk 21:12, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
Jemiller226, if you put the category link as follows: [[Category:Wikipedian musicians|Jemiller226]] on your user page, then you will appear (correctly in my opinion) under J and not under U, where you are at the moment. I didn't change your user page myself as you have a notice on there asking me not to. Brequinda 12:40, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
The article on Transposing instrument has grown enormously since I looked at it last. The list of instruments is new to me; last time I saw it (and when I created the redirect) there was just a handful of examples. I've added a note describing the C-unison group as "nontransposing instruments". I don't see any purpose in a separate article, but I don't feel all that strongly about it. — Wahoofive ( talk) 23:36, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Marcusknight.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This - 2006_Auckland_waterfront_vs._Eden_Park_debate - is an event which deserves a page, just like this - 2006 Melbourne teenage DVD controversy. -- SilvaStorm
