[edit] Welcome to the Wikipedia
Welcome, newcomer!
Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:
- First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
- When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
- Learn about some of the Wikipedia landmarks by trying our Wikipedia scavenger hunt!
- Remember to use a neutral point of view!
- If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
- Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!
Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:
- Wikipedia:Policy Library
- Wikipedia:Utilities
- Wikipedia:Cite your sources
- Wikipedia:Verifiability
- Wikipedia:Wikiquette
- Wikipedia:Civility
- Wikipedia:Conflict resolution
- Wikipedia:Brilliant prose
- Wikipedia:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
- Wikipedia:Village pump
- Wikipedia:Boilerplate text
Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.
You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: ~~~~.
Best of luck, and have fun!

[edit] Grace Neill
Thanks for your nursing contribution to wikipedia. The Grace Neill page seems to be almost entirely from http://www.dnzb.govt.nz/dnzb/default.asp?Find_Quick.asp?PersonEssay=2N5 so I listed it on Wikipedia:Copyright problems#April 15. I look forward to working with you on nursing articles. Matt 12:26, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Some additional pointers
Since you seem to be creating a number of great nursing articles, here's some things you can do when you create them.
- If you put the text [[Category:Nursing]] at the bottom of an article then it adds the article to the nursing category so that people can find a list of all nursing related articles in one spot. (see [1]).
- If you create an article that's just one or two paragraphs then this is called a stub. You can place the text {{stub}} at the bottom of the page or, for nursing articles, {{nursing-stub}}. This sets up a nifty banner at the bottom of the page (cf. Nursing research).
Again, keep up the good work. Matt 12:55, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] disambig - Perth
Hi Ian I've been dismbigging Perth your User page is on the list I think you mean Perth, Western Australia. Would you be able to fix please. Thanks Gnangarra 13:48, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Think I know where you are coming from.. will try!
[edit] Live at the Deaf Club vs. Can You Hear Me? Music from the Deaf Club
- Ian, you're confusing the original vinyl compilation, Can You Hear Me?: Music from the Deaf Club, which had several different artists, with this album, which only has the DK's material. There are no errors in this particular album's article. When you find your old record, feel free to write about that album at the link above. --Cjmarsicano 12:37, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thank You
Didn't realise there was another live album; fairly new to Wiki, so learning all the time. Will dig out the LP and do that page in the future.
[edit] category alphabetization
Hi Ianguy, I fixed the alphabetization on your category for nurse Wikipedians. Hope you don't mind. :o) Maltmomma (chat) 12:42, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Zeca Afonso
He was not a footballer, so, I removed him from Category:Footballers who died from motor neurone disease, next time, try reading the article, ok? Afonso Silva 12:08, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
He played football in his university amateur team, as a hobbie, he was never a professional. If he is a footballer for that, so am I. He was a musician, that's what the article clearly says. Afonso Silva 12:32, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
Sorry about the category thing, I forgot the ":" when I refered to the category, so, it was like including your page in it instead of making a link in the text. I've fixed it. And I apologize for any incovenience. Afonso Silva 13:20, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ken Moult

[edit] NursingWiki
Hi, my name is Joe (User Produnis) and I am the founder of NursingWiki. You asked me to contact you here... So, what's up? :-) ... As I am a german Wikipedian, who mainly works for the NursingWiki-project, I might read messages, posted there, sooner :)

[edit] User boxes
Just letting you know your User:NZ labor user box is messed up on your user page. Also, you've listed the male userbox twice. Small fries, but thought I'd let you know. - Dudesleeper 15:26, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
- D'oh. Just seen your request for assistance with them. - Dudesleeper 15:30, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Nursing Portal & wikiproject
Hi Ian, You may or may not be aware that User:THB has crated a Nursing Portal and Nursing Wikiproject aiming to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Nursing. It would be great if all Wikipedian nurses got involved. — Rod talk 19:18, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
