Hello, Oddibe, and
welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for
your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you are stuck, and looking for help, 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. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump. Kweeket 20:44, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
You do realize that you're not supposed to put a page up before it's finished? Anyway, sorry, my mistake. Porterjoh 19:08, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
No, I'm new to wikipedia. How do you do that? Oddibe 19:09, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
Finish the page before pressing save. Anyway sorry I was a little overzealous. There just seemed to be no context. Porterjoh 19:11, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
Hey, how's it going? Welcome to wikipedia. Are you really McDowell, played in the majors? By the way I am from Greenfield (Pittsburgh), my pap coached Gary Green when he played little league. - RiverHockey 17:16, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Just FYI: 1) the text that appears after the "|" in a category statement is used as a "sort key" for sorting the entry within the category page, and is not displayed anywhere or used for any other purpose 2) If an article has a DEFAULTSORT statement, that value is used whenever a Category has no "sort key" Many people prefer to have one DEFAULTSORT and leave the category entries blank (except when they want to override the DEFAULTSORT, for some unusual reason), because they find it easier to maintain one line, and new categorie lines don't have to be edited to sort correctly.

A {{
prod}} template has been added to the article
Southwest Tower Building, 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 explains why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{
db-author}}. -

I've removed this section per WP:BLP. Please provide sources before readding potentially contentious material about living persons to this article. -- Onorem♠ Dil 13:39, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
I'm glad you started the article on Greg Ballard, but you can't just copy one's bio from his campaign website, as that is a copyright issue. Only directly copy from websites if they were done by the federal government, or if the original phrase was done before 1923. You're new, so you are learning, so please see this as advice and not an attack.--

I did some googling, and found nothing about Youppi in the U.P., and nothing about a "youper tourist program" either. Can you back up these claims with anything? Foobaz· o< 19:54, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
Are you really Oddibe McDowell? If so, glad you're here! I'm a big baseball fan, and I remember you playing for the Rangers. I think I might even still have a card of yours, maybe a couple. I even know that you were the first Ranger to hit for the cycle. One record that can never be broken!! Keeper | 76 21:47, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but can you please explain to me how an arrest for DWI is encyclopedic? You are editing what is merely a list of names and positions, not biographies or rap sheets. I'd also like to point out I have zero connection to KXAN, I don't even watch anything the station broadcasts and know no one who works for them, so this isn't "KXAN censorship". It's merely trying to keep the information in the article encyclopedic. Thank you. Paxsimius ( talk) 00:35, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
If you change it back something bad shall happen to you! Don't mess with Paxsimius fool! ChesterCharge 19:46, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm not saying that Golic didn't make the statements about steroids being no worse than speeding or jaywalking, but unless someone else reports about it, it's not notable enough information to include in his article. We don't update the article every time he makes a statement on his show.
Without a reference to
verify your statement about his injury not being something that a person would treat with steroids, the comment will not remain in the article. Please review
WP:BLP if you have any questions about that.
Also, your statement about my acting like his agent or son was inappropriate. Please avoid statements like that in the future. I'm just a regular editor that prefers to see sources for potentially contentious statements in articles about people. --
