I'm
Riana, and I noticed that you're new, so I thought I'd drop you a note. We do have a lot of users, and are currently working on 6,860,471 articles, so things can be a little intimidating... but don't worry! We love to help out, and we'll try our best to make your stay here as comfortable as possible.
Here are a few links I found useful when I first arrived here:-
You should sign your name on talk pages, discussions and votes by typing ~~~~
; our software automatically converts it to your username and the date. Also, if you don't want to jump right into editing articles right now, why not check out the
sandbox? Feel free to make test edits there.
I know it's a lot of information, but there are two more things I recommend you take note of while editing Wikipedia - cite references wherever possible, and avoid allowing personal biases interfere with your editing.
I hope you enjoy editing and being a
Wikipedian - I definitely do. Although we all make mistakes, please keep in mind
what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or problems, leave me a message on
my talk page, and I'll try my best to help. Otherwise, please come to the
New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}}
on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.
We hope you stick around, and make sure you enjoy yourself! Cheers, ~ Riana ⁂ 10:25, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
Please do not edit other users' userpages. This may be considered a form of vandalism. If you want to contact them, leave a message on their User Talk page instead. Thank you. -- The Fifth Horseman 08:51, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi Muffin Man. Take a look at York City F.C., which is a very good article on a non-league football club (albeit a former Football League club). You could add an info box (on the top right hand side), pictures, the current squad, staff and honours at the bottom of the page a la the York City article. If you lay the Keynsham Town article out in a similar way, you can't go far wrong. A problem though with the article, and the priority, is the lack of references to enable a reader to verify what has been written. WP:RS and WP:V will explain. If you can dig out reliable, independent, published sources for what's been written and add them to the article, that would be good. If you need help, just post on the non-league board [1] (as you have done and I see you have some advice already). Good luck! -- Malcolmxl5 20:29, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
I removed management and players because they play at such a low level and are not notable. Number 5 7 12:46, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
I've restored it, good luck with the page, unfortunately you're always going to get people who want to inflict their standards on to others pages. Journey Back To The Darkside 15:21, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Whilst obviosuly none of the players are notable in the Wikipedia sense (i.e. having received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject), I don't see a major problem with having the squad list on the page, as long as it can be referenced to a reliable source. ChrisTheDude 09:09, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, this doesn't seem like a real user. Perhaps you were trying to so something else, therefore I moved the content from this page to a subpage of yours, User:Muffin Man 23/Believeinuserboxes. Thanks! If you need further help, please don't hesitate to post on my talk page or to put {{helpme}} followed by your question on this page. -- lucasbfr talk 19:57, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Hello, this is a message from
an automated bot. A tag has been placed on
Le tour de Keynsham, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be
speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because
Le tour de Keynsham seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the
criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please
see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting
Le tour de Keynsham, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at
WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the
bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Based on the information in the guide: You play Chell after escaping Apeture in EP3. Guide Spoilers: The cake is not a lie. But it is Soylent Cake, and nobody else is in the Apeture labs... GLaDOS bites the dust at the end. NodPilot42 14:25, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Greetings, Muffin Man, how are you keeping? I thought I might take a look at the Keynsham Town F.C. article over the next few weeks and perhaps rewrite some bits as I seem to remember there was some questions over parts being copied from elsewhere. Let me know if you prefer that I didn't do this. All the best now. -- Malcolmxl5 23:54, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
You have created a userbox at User:Muffin Man 23/Portal which contains a non-free image, but non-free images are not allowed on user pages. You'll want to remove it. Thanks. -- Sopoforic 13:17, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
I have moved the contents of my sandbox to the Keynsham Town F.C. article; let's see if it sticks! -- Malcolmxl5 ( talk) 22:03, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
