[edit] Welcome!

Hello, SearedIce, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

[edit] Re:Thanks

Ha ha, I wish I was an administrator. I just saw your helpful edits to Hurricane Dennis and saw that no one had welcomed you yet. We couldn't have that, now, could we?

Anyway, it's good to here about someone with things in common with me edits on Wikipedia. I'm glad that you finally decided to make an account. —Cuiviénen (Cuivië) 04:48, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userboxes

Userboxes are, according to some, absolute evil, and according to others, a blessing. I fall into the latter camp. Basically, you can find a HUGE list of userboxes at WP:UBX from which you pick any number of them and put them on your page as templates (by surrounding them with braces, such as {{user en}}, which gives

en	This user is a native speaker of English.

There's been a lot of debate recently as to the merits of userboxes; the general consent was that it is recommended that users refrain from using so-called divisive userboxes. It is also recommended that you use {{subst:user en}} instead of the actual template link in order to place the formatting of the userbox directly on your userpage rather than linking to the userbox and eating up an (albeit tiny) portion of Wikipedia's bandwidth. —Cuiviénen (Cuivië) 05:02, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Feathering

Although you wrote everything off your head (as many of us do), this does not mean you invented all this. You have read or heard about it from somewhere. These things are not "common knowledge", or, so to put it differently, the article is not for this who already knows it all. All what I can say more may be found in wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:Cite your sources, Wikipedia:No original research.

Please keep in mind that the "cite reference" tag is not a threat to you, it is a reminder to all of us that an important element is missing. Just as I added a category to your artice, someone else may add references. But since you seem to know the area, I would suggest you to do a google search and add 1-2 most reputable websites (not just blogs and preferrably not intrusively commercial) that cover the topic.

Good luck, mikka (t) 05:52, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Architecture Wikiproject

I was wondering if you might be interested in joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Architecture. Also we've been revamping the Architecture Portal and nominations to Portal:Architecture/Selected picture candidates and Portal:Architecture/Selected article candidates will always be welcome.--Mcginnly 09:29, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hey John!

Hiya John. Yes, the SHHS page is defaced every couple months. I didn't know you knew so many programming languages... heh. Assembly? Perl? Cool stuff. - Mark --kramtark 03:23, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Philly meetup

Hi! There will be a Wikipedia Meetup in Philadelphia on 4 November. If you're interested in coming, RSVP by editing Wikipedia:Meetup/Philadelphia 2 to reflect the likelihood of your being able to attend. If you have any questions, feel free to ask my talk page. Hopefully, we'll all see you (and each other) on the 4th! --evrik 16:24, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gun Fu - Animal Fighting Styles

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Gun Fu - Animal Fighting Styles, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.
