[edit] Your user page
Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Max Berry may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers, and encourages them to become Wikipedians. On Wikipedia, each user is entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects. Under the assumption that you are Max Berry himself, I've moved this to your user page. howcheng {chat} 22:16, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jimbo Wales at UF -- next week
Hi Maxoderm! I noticed on your userpage that you live in Gainesville (I think -- I'm a bit confused by the tenses). I wanted to let you know about an event going on at UF next week: Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia, is coming to speak!
The speech is on Wednesday, April 12 at 7 pm at Emerson Alumni Hall (1938 W. University Ave.). The speech is free and open to the public.
Jimbo's keynote will be on the role of free culture in universities. The keynote will be followed by a discussion panel of UF students and faculty. It's sponsored by Florida Free Culture, ACCENT, and the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation.
For more information, visit this page or email me. Hope to see you here!
(P.S. Because not everyone checks their userpage regularly, I'll also email you this note if your account is set up to allow e-mails from other users.) --Tetraminoe 05:52, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
