User talk:Seth Nimbosa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I started at Wikipedia editing a list, with everything which was made first, or happened first in the history of man this an interesting suggestion i first came upon on Yahoo! Answers, then I realized there was already a list of similar goal/rationale, so I merged them, and later I reordered the somewhat muddled list into coherent subheadings

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello Seth Nimbosa, welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it here and decide to stay.
Here are some tips:
- First, follow the Five Pillars of Wikipedia
- Take a look at the Simplified Ruleset.
- Read the Tutorial, How to edit a page, and the Manual of Style.
- Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
- Learn what the proper tags to place on stubs (short articles) are.
- Learn how Articles for deletion works.
- 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.
- Read the Picture tutorial for help with images and remember to add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload.
- Check out the Community Portal.
- Create a User page.
- Be bold.
- Ignore all rules.
- If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Wikipedia:Topical index.
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.
If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else how to do it. 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. Just click on this link and type {{helpme}} followed by your question. An experienced editor will be along shortly to answer your question 24/7. There are also the help pages for self-help and the village pump and IRC Channels where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance. You should also feel free to ask me on my Talk page.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes(~~~~) produces your name and the current date. Please do not add this signature to encyclopedia articles you may edit, however, even if you have created them. Wikipedia articles are owned by the community, not by any one person. Your contribution is credited on articles' history pages. Again, welcome!

[edit] Merging articles
Please make sure that you have consensus before making merges. In the case of Bananadine only three people had commented at the time that you decided to unilaterally merge the articles. Furthermore, you merged them in the opposite direction of the original tag. When a significant fraction of interested editors, in this case a third, make legitimate points and you don't give any response it is impossible for you to claim that you were following consensus. You might ask for broader participation in the discussion from those monitoring Talk:Banana. Being bold is good, but not when it tramples the views of others.—WAvegetarian•(talk) 06:18, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- I just realized that you had never been properly welcomed, so this may be new to you. I have given you my welcome note —WAvegetarian•(talk) 06:20, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Texas_Mexico_Disputed_Border_1836_to_1848.PNG listed for deletion
- You have to change the liscening template, I've changed it to {{GFDL}}. Check it out and if that's right, then leave it, if not change it. Cbrown1023 20:18, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Oh, there is attribution needed that the original unedited image was from http://www.tamu.edu/ccbn/dewitt/co&tex1836.htm#currtex, updated the image license, Thanks
[edit] To do
- Armonk, New York and Byram Hills High School
- transform Geanealogies like that in House of Anárion into the format of Eldarion's descent
