User talk:Lucent
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Lucent! My name is Ryan, aka Acetic Acid. I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:
- How to edit a page
- Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk Pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? :)
I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a nice day. Sincerely, Ryan 10:39, August 6, 2005 (UTC)
Perhaps they should be GFDL instead of PD? If I recall correctly, I took some (not all) of the pictures from UT Athletics, not from the Public Relations. And some were wallpapers free for downloading. But if you insist on taking those pics off, that is fine. I can replace them with pics from my very own camera (which will look almost exactly similar to the pics already on the page).--Zereshk 17:13, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Contributions
Hey, thanks for the message. Your contributions seem okay. Doesn't look like you broke any rules. I see you reverted a bit of vandalism. Good job catching it. ;) Keep up the good work. You look like you're on the right track. Acetic Acid 01:03, August 17, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] UT pics
I replaced over half of the pics on the University of Tennessee page with my own photos. I replaced the pics I thought might raise questions about copyright vios. The other remaining pics, either I did not put up, or are from UT atheletics, or did not have copyright issues as I recall. But I think everything should be OK now. --Zereshk 07:45, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Tilman Hausherr
Can you please revisit the AFD debate on this man. Apparently he's a well-known scientology critic and not just a programmer. - Mgm|(talk) 09:58, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
- After reading the other article about him, he sounds pretty cool. But a scientology critic seems sub-encyclopedic to me. I'm going to withdraw because Wikipedia is big on a lot of "small" things like open source software and Japanese animation, and apparently Scientology. --Lucent 09:07, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Pan-African Congress
Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia! --Allen3 talk 21:04, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
- Based on your comments, I have done a little research and changed the redirect into a simple stub. --Allen3 talk 00:26, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

"Borderline sociopathic"? Please find a way to express yourself without personal attacks. "Complete lack of respect for Wikipedians and their community" is completely wrong. If you take a look at Template talk:US-airport you will see that they are willing to engage in discussion about ways to work with, not against, the Wikipedia community. Whether or not you think their link and their information belong on Wikipedia, you must behave civilly towards these new Wikipedia users. FreplySpang (talk) 00:25, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
