[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!
- 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:Pages needing attention
- Wikipedia:Peer review
- 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.

[edit] Nice work
I was impressed that you have already begun contributing to Votes for deletion - it's a dirty job, and it's always good to see a newcomer jump into it!
For this display of enthusiasm, I awarded you with the Exceptional Newcomer Award, and posted it on your user page. Good job!
ClockworkTroll 21:11, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Tireless Contributor Barnstar
Wow - thank you! That means a great deal to me!
If you want to know why I awarded you with the Exceptional Newcomer Award, this is a good example. As a newcomer, you quickly figured out our polices, and where all manner of debates and polls were taking place. Plus, I noticed that you have been contributing to VfD, which so many people avoid like the plague. Thank you for everything you're helping us with here, and though you personally for the barnstar.

[edit] Moving God
Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for deciding to contribute, and for what you've already done.
You should probably be aware of some conventions here. One of the important ones is that controversial and important articles like God are not moved or renamed without considerable consultation. You may think it obvious that the name should be changed, but others may not, and they may have good reasons why the article should be left as it is.
May I suggest you add to the talk page (at both Talk:God and Talk:Monotheistic God explaining the reasons for what you have done, and let people add their comments.
DJ Clayworth 01:06, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC) DJ Clayworth 01:01, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- I appreciate you idea, and a move to God would indeed solve some of the deadlocks of the current article. However, the very question of what this article should be about, and how to draw a line between monotheistic God and polytheistic gods has been discussed very thoroughly on the page, and the issue is unresolved and a bit delicate. Therefore your unannounced move seemed a bit rash. No harm is done, though, we're just moving it back to where it was ;) dab 07:45, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] VFD
When you list something for deletion, be sure you add it to the main VFD page—otherwise it's likely to be overlooked. Wikipedia:Votes for deletion#VfD footer has complete instructions. —No-One Jones (m) 01:51, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Buels Gore
To answer your question: The original posting was a really malformed substub. I felt directing the thing to Vermont was the best thing to do since it didn't make clear where in Europe it was supposed to be. By all means, please feel free to expand the original article as you see fit. I'm heading for home. Long work day tomorrow. :^) Best, Lucky 6.9 01:55, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- It is a joke started by an IP vandal, not anything real. I've listed it for deletion - MPF 00:58, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Ok, I Won't
No problem, I only did it so someone would talk to me anyway.--216.12.204.91 19:32, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] i have a question for you
Are you jewish or christian? --Carpetrocks 20:06, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Just wondering. --Carpetrocks 23:43, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] A quick note to say thanks
I just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for your support in my request for adminship. It was certainly a wild ride, and I really appreciate you taking some time out to contribute. ClockworkSoul 16:26, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I'll add my thanks too, for same. Are you really only in 6th grade? Wow. You're going places, kid. --Woggly 20:56, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Indeed. You're impressive; I admit to being surprised when I saw that bit of bio data. DS 19:11, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Cutephp and Mr. and Mrs. Turner
While I agree that those article are not very well suited for wikipedia, they are not speedy deletion candidates. I redirected Mr. and Mrs. Turner to The Fairly OddParents. Thue | talk 19:05, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks!!
Bart, U iz da bomb! Thanks for the Barnstar!! Best, Lucky 6.9 17:05, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Redirect you created at "Joseph Jacinto "Jo" Mora"
Hi, you created a redirect from Joseph Jacinto "Jo" Mora to Jo Mora, but there is currently no article at Jo Mora. (It seems to have been deleted since the redirect was created.) Wikipedia policy is to get rid of redirects to non-existent pages, and someone listed Joseph Jacinto "Jo" Mora on WP:RfD If you want the redirect to stay, you will need to create something at Jo Mora (even a stub will do), or else the redirect will go away. If you do create the target, you don't have to do anything on WP:RfD (we'll eventually notice the target is there), but if you do, just delete the entry for Joseph Jacinto "Jo" Mora. Thanks! Noel (talk) 16:03, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)
PS: I don't usually check other User_talk: pages (so that I don't have to monitor a whole long list of User_Talk: pages - one for each person with whom I am having a "conversation"), so please leave any messages for me on my talk page (above); if you leave a message for me here I probably will not see it. I know not everyone uses this style (they would rather keep all the text of a thread in one place), but I simply can't monitor all the User_talk: pages I leave messages on. Thanks!
[edit] Second rate votes for deletion.
I feel that Second rate should go to Wikipedia:Pages needing attention instead of WP:VfD. I don't know much about this sort of stuff, though, so you may be correct. -- Lee S. Svoboda 17:28, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Request for Deletion
Hi Bart! I saw your request for deletion for NapSatan, which seems reasonable enough to me. I posted that entry myself, and I understand how its use might not be widespread enough to remain on Wikipedia. (It is certainly not a hoax,though.) However, I also noticed that you seem to have listed your justification for deletion of another entry, Homespring, under the NapSatan heading. NapSatan is not at all affiliated with esoteric programming languages. It looks like you need to create a new entry for Homespring. I'm a newbie (and now a bitten one at that), but I'm fairly sure that this is a case of misfiling. Thanks for your attention. Heathy --Heathy 19:51, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Test page at Nicky Jam
The page that you created (previously located at Nicky Jam) has been deleted. If you were trying to perform a test, it worked. However, for the future, it would be appreciated if you would perform all tests at Wikipedia:Sandbox. If you want to test creating new pages, please use test.wikipedia. Please do not continue to create test pages outside of the test wikipedia, or it may be percieved as vandalism. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a note on my talk page. Please ignore the part about it being percieved as vandalism, I know that you know it should be deleted :), this is a template. Thanks for tagging it as a speedy, but like I said, please perform tests in test wikipedia if possible. -Frazzydee|✍ 17:47, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Oh, I didn't know that was still a problem...I remember how that used to happene to me when a sysop deleted the article before I saved it with the delete tag, so I presume the same thing happened to you. I assumed that it was fixed in mediawiki 1.4, sorry about that! -Frazzydee|✍ 17:56, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Adminship
I came across your name one day when checking your watchlist, and I was impressed, upon looking over your edit history and talk pages, at the degree of community involvement you have shown and people you have impressed during your brief tenure here. If you're interested, when you get over 1000 edits, I'd gladly nominate you to adminship. Cheers, →Iñgōlemo← (talk) 05:22, 2005 Jan 31 (UTC)
- I too came across your name, and although I'm nowhere near an admin, I just thought I'd say I really enjoyed your articles and your work here. So, in the words of Mike Nelson - "Thanks." :) ...now if only I had the time to edit here more... Nick04 21:28, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
-
- I don't enjoy seeing articles such as Fruit Brute being carelessly posted to VfD by 6th grade students. I will be voting against said adminship if it's ever proposed unless careful consideration is given to VfD listings in the future. —RaD Man (talk) 06:34, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- You most certainly may. However, it immediately followed up with an extremely valid stub: [1] "Fruit Brute: is one of a line of monster-themed breakfast cereals produced by General Mills. It is also the name of the cereal's mascot, a variant of Frankenstein's monster. Other cereals in the line include Count Chocula, Boo Berry, Fruit Brute, and Yummy Mummy. (Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy are no longer sold in retail stores.)" effectively obviating the opening nonsense. There is no reasonable excuse for nominating this extremely noteworthy breakfast cereal for deletion just because of a silly opening sentence. That's what the EDIT THIS PAGE button is made for, end of story. —RaD Man (talk) 03:52, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- We all have VfDed articles that shouldn't have been. I don't think I lie when I say that. Every one of us has at one point come across an article with so nonsensical (with a title to match) that we don't even bother to reasearch further. Unless you can come up with an extensive analysis showing a pattern of overzealous VfD nominations, the Fruit Brute issue is little more than anecdotal evidence.
I must also take issue with the mention of Bart's age in the above criticism. The point is that Fruit Brute was listed carelessly, not that it was listed by a sixth-grade student. →Iñgōlemo← talk 04:50, 2005 Feb 7 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for editing repeated words
Thanks for your work at User:R3m0t/Reports. Ignoring the fact that Gmail addresses are now dirt cheap and available on Wikipedia, I can offer you up to 3 addresses as token of gratitude (and showing off that I have those invitations ;)) If you accept (reply on the reports page please), make sure that you are accepting e-mails from the left link "E-mail this user". r3m0t 22:06, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- By the way, I've released the source on User talk:R3m0t/Reports, but I already have the Feb dump if that's what you're planning to do. It's too old, though (or so I think). r3m0t 18:40, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Your nomination
I have just nominated you to adminship. To accept and respond to the generic questions, you can go to Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Bart133. →Iñgōlemo← talk donate 02:56, 2005 Feb 14 (UTC)
- It's probably a good idea to fill out the questions under the bold section, generic questions for the candidate. For one thing, it'll help people get to know you better. →Iñgōlemo← talk donate 04:31, 2005 Feb 14 (UTC)
[edit] Image copyright tags
Hi. I was wondering about the image copyright tagging you've been doing. It's valuable grunt work, and I'm glad to see someone working on it. Looking at a couple of your contributions, I was wondering if you could fill me in on how you assigned GFDL status to these images: Image:Router bit profiles.png and Image:Rotsnake2.jpg. I'm concerned that the latter in particular may be derived from copyrighted work by A. Kitaoka. It would also help out a lot of people if you could answer the questions on the nomination page. Cheers! --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 20:21, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Fair play, then. I must have been particularly unlucky in picking out a couple of images from your contribution history—glancing through some of the rest, I'm quite pleased to see clean, thorough tagging. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 01:53, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Deletions
in re: deletions: I'm confused by an element of the deletion policy. If I see an obvious vanity page, can I submit as delete or nonsense for speedy deletion? I'm running across lots of cases where it seems that VfD is the official word but there's less than 1% chance they will survive VfD -- and submitting to VfD is nine times as hard as speedy deletion.
Obviously I won't blank anymore... that was out of frustration at the length of the formal deletion process. Alba 04:01, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Thank you!
Just a quick "thank you" for voting me for admin. Now all I've got to do is find out how to use these worrying new powers... Grutness|hello? 06:02, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Your adminship nomination
I know it's only been two days of voting and you still have five days left, but if my observation is correct it is now almost certainly not possible for you to achieve consensus for promotion to adminship. But don't get discouraged - many fine admins were promoted only on their second (even third) subsequent nominations. JuntungWu 16:43, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Hey Bart, I hope there are no hard feelings about my position on your RFA. I think you're doing great work so far. As I just noted in a comment there, I am hesitant about quick nominations in general. Perhaps a little more so for younger folk. As Juntung points out, lots of names you'll recognize got turned down a couple times, Neutrality for instance. Keep it up like this, and you can count on me next time around if you don't make it now. Wolfman 02:51, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
The good news about your nomination: despite failing, a plurality of people still supported you. Way to go. If the comments there are any indication, if we try again in May you're almost certain to succeed. →Iñgōlemo← talk donate 04:22, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Bad Jokes? We ain't got no stinking Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense!
Hey Bart133, regarding Wikipedia talk:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense, I would like to lobby you to change your vote from supporting
- "Nonsense? Nonsense? We don't need no stinking bad jokes and other deleted nonsense!"
to supporting
- "Bad Jokes? We ain't got no stinking Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense!"
The reason I make this request is that the title is a pun on the quote "Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!", and "Bad Jokes" is a much better pun on the word "Badges" than "nonsense" is. Thanks for your involvement in BJAODN! Kevyn 17:57, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Mind Benders
Hello! I've noticed your past interest in Wikipedia:Mind Benders and wanted to share the following announcement with you! I've taken over the responsibilities of Mind Benders, and the page will now be regularly updated. Right now, the pre-round is open (it's more of a creative artistic competition), and round one will open soon (the questions are done, we just need to wait for the pre-round to begin/finish)! So why not check it out? I'll keep you updated! Thanks, Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 01:37, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
P.S. Feel free to pass this news on to other Wikipedians.
[edit] User categorization
Greetings! Your user page hasn't been vandalized :-) --it was updated to use the new User Categorization scheme. Although I know that some people don't like to be "categorized" I have categorized your User Page as a Wikipedian in Nevada (Category:Wikipedians in Nevada) since your name was listed on the Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Nevada page and I didn't want to lose sight of that. The Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Nevada page is scheduled for deletion. Thanks! Roby Wayne Talk • Hist 03:43, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Wikijunior Solar System Needs You
Danny Wool has challenged us to get Wikijunior Solar System out to hurricane evacuees by October 3, 2005. This is going to be tough!
You expressed interest in WikiJunior. Would you be willing now to join the push to get Wikijunior Solar System completed? Come see Wikijunior Solar System!

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Halibutt
Since you have supported me during my RfA, I wonder if you could review and comment on the RfA for Halibutt, the first person I have nominated myself. There seem to be a heated debate and votes of experienced, unbiased editors would be appreciated. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 17:15, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] WP:MIND
Hello. Round four of Wikipedia Mind Benders will open on Thursday, December 1. This round will be drastically different from round three; part one will consist of a creative project, and part two will be developed from there. The full details will be released when the round opens. Time and speed should not be major factors in this round; thus, there is no exact opening time for the round as speed will not factor into the scoring. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 00:04, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
P.S. Please add Wikipedia:Mind Benders/to do to your watchlist to receive further announcements; the NotificationBot is currently down and all notifications will be placed on that page. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Note: This message has been sent by Flcelloguy. If you do not wish to receive further messages regarding WP:MIND, please contact Flcelloguy. Special thanks to Fetofs for helping distribute this message.

[edit] A short Esperanzial update
As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.
As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.
Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, —Celestianpower háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 22:58, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Math?
As well as helping with the stub sensor project in the convential way I also update the percentages completed as not all users do this. Thank you for updating yours. However, I calculate the percentages based on the fact that each section already had 20 articles originally (and assume that the very last section, which obviously may not do, also has this number of articles). Some users do not do whole sections, Revragnarok kindly removed the Arrondissement of.. links and some sections had red links. Therefore, it is not necessary for the percentages to be multiples of four. Whilst I appreciate users adding four when they have completed a section or estimating, it is a bit annoying to see the whole tables percentages all being made into mulitples of four when I go to the trouble of calcualting each percentage carefully.
