[edit] Welcome!
I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, please read about the simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page.
[edit] Additional tips
Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!
- If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
- You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
- If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the articles for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
- If you believe something you added or created has been unfairly treated, talk to the user or follow the steps in resolving disputes
- If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
- If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.
[edit] Happy Wiki-ing.

[edit] DC-3 Picture
Thanks for contributing a picture to the DC-3 article. I took the liberty of editing it slightly to show a level horizon and reduced the file size under 5MB per wikipedia guidelines. Thanks and welcome !! Intersofia 17:25, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tanquary Fiord
I noticed the exsistence of the above from the list of airports in Nunavut (Tanquary Fiord Airport). However, it's not listed in the list of communities in Nunavut. CambridgeBayWeather suggested that maybe you could you shed some light as to where it should be included on the communities list? Tompw 14:58, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- Hi there, at Tanquary Fiord there exists only an outpost of Parks Canada, i. e. the entrance to Quttinirpaaq National Park, and there is no "community of Nunavut" (it's too far north = 81°25' N; the most northern community of Nunavut is Grise Fiord). Really, I have some problems with the expression "Tanquary Fiord Airport" - this is not an airport, only an airstrip with gravels. Perhaps you my have a look into the article "http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quttinirpaaq-Nationalpark" and find the photo of the camp. Kind regards --Ansgar Walk 17:47, 26 Oct 2006 (CEST)
[edit] Igloo
I added your excellent Igloo picture to the Igloo article. Your image description of it on commons states: "Big iglu in front of Kinngait (southern region of Baffin Island)." Does "Kinngait" in this case mean the Inuit name of Cape Dorset, Nunavut (which indeed is in the southern part of Baffin Island) or does it mean the Inuit word for "mountain" (as we can clearly see a mountain behind that Igloo)? --David Göthberg 21:26, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
- It means both: Indeed you can recognize the mountain "Kinngait" in the background that gave the community Cape Dorset (on Cape Dorset Island) its Inuit name. In this special case "Kinngait" means not mountain (or mountains, pl.) in general; it IS the name of the mountain. Regards --Ansgar Walk 11:23, 17 December 2006 (CET)
