[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello Kencf, welcome to Wikipedia!
I noticed nobody had said hi yet... Hi!
If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.
You might like some of these links and tips:
- some General guidance.
- Tutorial and the Manual of Style.
- Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
- Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~).
- Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board
- Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
- Use the Show preview button
- Provide an Edit summary
- Add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload
- Take a look at Consensus of standards
- Create a User page
If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Wikipedia Boot Camp, 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. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, -- Alf melmac 14:59, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks for the Welcome!
I've been at this for a few weeks now; mostly I clean-up as I go along and edit for style. I've noticed kids using a couple of articles as forums for their graffiti. Considering how quickly the pages get reverted, it's akin to burst-transmission of libel, LOL!
- That sounds like our wiki :) I spend quite a bit of time sorting out vandalism and vandals so I do know exactly what you mean. --Alf melmac 15:53, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Anglicanism and the Anglican Communion
Hello! I noticed that you have identified yourself as an Anglican, and so I thought that you may be interested in checking out a new WikiProject - WikiProject Anglicanism. Please consider signing up and participating in this collaborative effort to improve and expand articles related to Anglicanism and the Anglican Communion! Cheers!

[edit] Usama Bin Laden and the concept of filibustering
I agree that the distinction is close, but UBL fails to pass a few critical tests to be considered a filibuster: he does not wage war for the purpose of taking territory or exploiting the wealth of his targets, and his operations are not expeditionary in nature. (Perhaps this idea should be better expanded upon in the entry itself.) I can see the argument in terms of the fact that what he and the rest of the Wahabbis (sp?) really have in mind, at the end of the day, is the expansion of the scope and power of the Islamic world, but I don't really think that's enough - it amounts to aggressive proselytization and a religious war at worst; something quite different from filibustering.
I can agree to the reinsertion of the passage in question if these points are made; comparing and contrasting UBL to historical filibusters rather than simply proclaiming him to be one of their number, if you will. What do you think?

I'd have to admit that while there's some overlap between the two modes of irregular warfare (21st-century terrorism and 19th-century military filibustering), the differences are more germane. These would probably best be addressed in the article on irregular warfare. Kencf 01:30, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Anglicanism COTM
The Anglicanism Collaboration of the Month has been reactivated! Please consider going to the page to either vote for one of the nominated articles, or nominate one yourself. Thanks! Fishhead64 02:45, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] World's Smallest Political Quiz userbox
You may be interested in User:Audacity/Userboxes/WSPQ, which is a replacement for the old Political Chart userbox. The new userbox takes the two variables (economic and personal freedom), calculates which political alignment they place you into (Statist, Libertarian, Liberal, Centrist, or Conservative), and links your userpage to the appropriate category.
Please reply to User talk:Audacity, as I will not be watching your talk page. Λυδαcιτγ 07:42, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
