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 6,818,119 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 talk 05:26, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your recent action on Red Hand of Doom. Very nicely done! -- Smcmillan ( talk) 01:24, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

THANK YOU for all your work today on the Car Wars article! Web Warlock ( talk) 15:25, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Hey, just wanted to say more good work on this article. Nicely written prose! :) --Craw-daddy | T | 16:07, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for inserting some humour into that discussion; I just hope Gavin takes it as such. SamBC( talk) 12:46, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
I didn't intend to nominate any more today. I'll try and keep it slow, no more than a few an evening for the next few days. I'm trying to stick to the non controversial ones, but I'll bear in mind what you've said. J Milburn ( talk) 23:08, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

You are most welcome; want to take another stab here: Smile Foundation of Bali; I just added a Jakarta Post link for this one. FYI, it's a lame paper; a few years ago the Russian Embassy had an exhibit about Yuri Gagarin and the Jakarta Post ran a story referring to him as being the first man to land on the moon in 1961. Cheers, Jack Merridew 11:25, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
There is references to six fights on the article page, also other reliable sources. There is UKMMAC , MMA Universe, gangsets video showing Jackson Fight twice plus on DVD and Mark Epstein world title fight. Diamonddannyboy ( talk) 12:32, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello, we've been busily working on how to make tables for a D&D monster list page, and could use your input at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Dungeons & Dragons#Negotiable concepts. BOZ ( talk) 17:55, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Best person to talk about that with is actually User:Guyinblack25, he is working on the Legend of Zelda (series) article in order to get it to GA status, and I have foreworded my sandbox with the references used in the deleted article to be used in making a Music section in the series article. So don't worry, nothing will be lost. Judgesurreal777 ( talk) 19:55, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Well, User:Jack Merridew/Allison Sudradjat; this was deleted; I think it could be brought back. I just found the following link. See also; its talk page for another.

Thanks, again. It looks very nice. Guess who I ran into a few hours ago and had lunch with. Mary. I showed her what you did and she is much impressed and asked me to express her thanks. I also showed her what the vandals did and she was appalled. Cheers, Jack Merridew 09:17, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
←I've just put a picture of the building they're in on the page; it took quite a while to upload it on this connection. I rotated it a bit to level it and cropped off a lot of bare ground in the foreground. This was from the first of I think two visits there. I have some others, but they aren't very good pics. My understanding of the logo use is that it's standard fair use. I was thing more of some of the artwork, which would certainly need permission. I will be sure to take some pics if I attend there show. FYI, my concern with the OMG stuff was always that it was all uncited fan stuff. If 'magical girfriend' is an academic subject (?) an article from that perspective is fine. It would seem that having challenged the old article has led to an appropriate one. Cheers, Jack Merridew 13:22, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks again, you have been so kind and im grateful to your help. Diamonddannyboy ( talk) 11:51, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Need your help, I have copies of magazines, Rogue ninja has put it up for AFD as he did with the darren Jackson article, it all getting a bit personal, he is saying the art is not notable, it is, also said he will block me for downloading CKD logo, I have permission because I a cheif instrcutor in that art, why are they doing this ? It notable and good bit of work, why do a few editors gun for my work. Diamonddannyboy ( talk) 10:43, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Can you help uploading the CKD logo, or tell me where I am going wrong.-- Diamonddannyboy ( talk) 14:23, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
It a bit beyond me at the moment, I think I will do more harm than good, is it possible to send you scan TKD magazine to prove that Choi kwang do was taught to Army Rangers at Fort Benning, it shows picture ect, 1996.
Look at my comment [1], you can extend the article with other meanings and sources for them and improve the article enough tto save it, since you seem to like it -- Enric Naval ( talk) 15:15, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm wondering if you're aware of {{ Harvard citation}}? You use it with the normal {{ Citation}} templates. Harvard isn't really recognised as a valid system on Wikipedia, although it is hidden in some style manuals as being a valid way to reference. Punk ekk was nearly delisted as a Good Article because it used Harvard, and I spent ages explaining to the editors there that Harvard was indeed valid... and then someone changed it to the "normal" style! :( IIRC, there's something in WP:CITE that says you shouldn't change an article's referencing system without consensus, so keep that in mind even as you dance with glee that Wikipedia can do Harvard citation. ;) - Malkinann ( talk) 07:55, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

I more or less agree with Quorty's assessment of the self-publishers. What bugs me is the tone he takes in every dispute. Without much investigation, he slams every tool at his disposal at articles and users who work on them. Every user page request is mean-spirited, no one is ever given benefit of the doubt. I post now from my IP so I won't get beat up by him on my registered page -- in an hour or so there will be a marker put on the IP page showing where it's from and implying some kind of misdoing or accusing it outright.
Quorty is a very powerful user, and there's really nothing regular joes like me can do about his nonsense. Is there anything a higher end user like you can do? Or somebody, just to get him to dial it back a notch or two? It's not the Spanish Inquisition -- it's a bunch of people working for free on a community encyclopedia project. I know I'm super-discouraged from creating new and notable content just for dread of having to spend my time wrangling with him instead of actually working on Wikipedia. 72.241.98.90 ( talk) 20:23, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
POD is a technology. It is employed by traditional publishers, vanity presses, and self-publishing writers alike. Please stop misusing the term. Qworty ( talk) 06:47, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
I unblocked him very quickly when I realized (as I of all people should) that having your own name as a username isn't inappropriate if you're not necessarily using it solely for promotional purposes. Daniel Case ( talk) 14:29, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. To be honest, I didn't think you'd been rude at all, so you really didn't need to apologise. I've seen some very heated comments on other AfDsm which is probably why I didn't associate yours as being hostile! -- JediLofty User ¦ Talk 09:08, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Belldandy (OVA).png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 12:21, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

RfA: Many thanks | ||
Many thanks for your participation in my recent request for adminship. I am impressed by the amount of thought that goes into people's contribution to the RfA process, and humbled that so many have chosen to trust me with this new responsibility. I step into this new role cautiously, but will do my very best to live up to your kind words and expectations, and to further the project of the encyclopedia. Again, thank you. -- jbmurray ( talk • contribs) 05:49, 18 May 2008 (UTC) |
Hey -- I noticed your edit on the userified Journal of Forensic Accounting Page -- did that addition signify that you think the article in its current version falls under that category? If so, what do you think can be done? Thanks! Jheiv ( talk) 05:41, 22 May 2008 (UTC) (Regarding your Soapbox comment, not the great reference you found! :-) ) Jheiv ( talk) 05:43, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks again for your support and insight. I wonder if some sort of quantifiable metric would be of some use for determining notability in academic periodicals. I've seen similar standards on other topics on WP. Anyway, I appreciate you taking your time out to add valuable input. Jheiv ( talk) 10:39, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Best person to talk about that with is actually User:Guyinblack25, he is working on the Legend of Zelda (series) article in order to get it to GA status, and I have foreworded my sandbox with the references used in the deleted article to be used in making a Music section in the series article. So don't worry, nothing will be lost. Judgesurreal777 ( talk) 19:55, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Well, User:Jack Merridew/Allison Sudradjat; this was deleted; I think it could be brought back. I just found the following link. See also; its talk page for another.

Thanks, again. It looks very nice. Guess who I ran into a few hours ago and had lunch with. Mary. I showed her what you did and she is much impressed and asked me to express her thanks. I also showed her what the vandals did and she was appalled. Cheers, Jack Merridew 09:17, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
←I've just put a picture of the building they're in on the page; it took quite a while to upload it on this connection. I rotated it a bit to level it and cropped off a lot of bare ground in the foreground. This was from the first of I think two visits there. I have some others, but they aren't very good pics. My understanding of the logo use is that it's standard fair use. I was thing more of some of the artwork, which would certainly need permission. I will be sure to take some pics if I attend there show. FYI, my concern with the OMG stuff was always that it was all uncited fan stuff. If 'magical girfriend' is an academic subject (?) an article from that perspective is fine. It would seem that having challenged the old article has led to an appropriate one. Cheers, Jack Merridew 13:22, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

It notable and good bit of work, why do a few editors gun for my work. Diamonddannyboy ( talk) 10:43, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Can you help uploading the CKD logo, or tell me where I am going wrong.-- Diamonddannyboy ( talk) 14:23, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
It a bit beyond me at the moment, I think I will do more harm than good, is it possible to send you scan TKD magazine to prove that Choi kwang do was taught to Army Rangers at Fort Benning, it shows picture ect, 1996.
Look at my comment [1], you can extend the article with other meanings and sources for them and improve the article enough tto save it, since you seem to like it -- Enric Naval ( talk) 15:15, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm wondering if you're aware of {{ Harvard citation}}? You use it with the normal {{ Citation}} templates. Harvard isn't really recognised as a valid system on Wikipedia, although it is hidden in some style manuals as being a valid way to reference. Punk ekk was nearly delisted as a Good Article because it used Harvard, and I spent ages explaining to the editors there that Harvard was indeed valid... and then someone changed it to the "normal" style! :( IIRC, there's something in WP:CITE that says you shouldn't change an article's referencing system without consensus, so keep that in mind even as you dance with glee that Wikipedia can do Harvard citation. ;) - Malkinann ( talk) 07:55, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

I more or less agree with Quorty's assessment of the self-publishers. What bugs me is the tone he takes in every dispute. Without much investigation, he slams every tool at his disposal at articles and users who work on them. Every user page request is mean-spirited, no one is ever given benefit of the doubt. I post now from my IP so I won't get beat up by him on my registered page -- in an hour or so there will be a marker put on the IP page showing where it's from and implying some kind of misdoing or accusing it outright.
Quorty is a very powerful user, and there's really nothing regular joes like me can do about his nonsense. Is there anything a higher end user like you can do? Or somebody, just to get him to dial it back a notch or two? It's not the Spanish Inquisition -- it's a bunch of people working for free on a community encyclopedia project. I know I'm super-discouraged from creating new and notable content just for dread of having to spend my time wrangling with him instead of actually working on Wikipedia. 72.241.98.90 ( talk) 20:23, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. To be honest, I didn't think you'd been rude at all, so you really didn't need to apologise. I've seen some very heated comments on other AfDsm which is probably why I didn't associate yours as being hostile! -- JediLofty User ¦ Talk 09:08, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Belldandy (OVA).png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 12:21, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

RfA: Many thanks | ||
Many thanks for your participation in my recent request for adminship. I am impressed by the amount of thought that goes into people's contribution to the RfA process, and humbled that so many have chosen to trust me with this new responsibility. I step into this new role cautiously, but will do my very best to live up to your kind words and expectations, and to further the project of the encyclopedia. Again, thank you. -- jbmurray ( talk • contribs) 05:49, 18 May 2008 (UTC) |
Hey -- I noticed your edit on the userified Journal of Forensic Accounting Page -- did that addition signify that you think the article in its current version falls under that category? If so, what do you think can be done? Thanks! Jheiv ( talk) 05:41, 22 May 2008 (UTC) (Regarding your Soapbox comment, not the great reference you found! :-) ) Jheiv ( talk) 05:43, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks again for your support and insight. I wonder if some sort of quantifiable metric would be of some use for determining notability in academic periodicals. I've seen similar standards on other topics on WP. Anyway, I appreciate you taking your time out to add valuable input. Jheiv ( talk) 10:39, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
