[edit] Welcome!
Hi Seattlenow, and a warm welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Wikipedia? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!
- Editing tutorial, learn to have fun with Wikipedia.
- Picture tutorial, instructions on uploading images.
- How to write a great article, to make it an featured article status.
- Manual of Style, how articles should be written.
Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :

This account has been blocked indefinately since apparently it's just a sockpuppet for afd voting. karmafist 20:52, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
- This account is NOT a sockpuppet for AfD!!! Didn't anyone notice that it was created about the time that ANON's stopped being able to create "New" articles? I created this account because I can no longer file things on AfD using my normal IP account User:24.17.48.241. Jeez. Regforafd 23:03, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
Would somebody that can, please change this username to "Iaminseattle" or "Iaminseattlenow" if the first one is already in use, since the current username has caused problems due to misinterpretation. Regforafd 23:09, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
- You can make your request at Wikipedia:Changing username. :) - Mailer Diablo 06:50, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Who ruined Wikipedia:Tutorial?
What the hell's going on with Wikipedia:Tutorial?!?! It looks like CRAP using MS-IE, and UNUSABLE CRAP using Firefox. Regforafd 09:00, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- Try Wikipedia_talk:Tutorial. Your user talkpage is meant more of messages directed towards you, so use the article/user's talkpage if you need to communicate to the community on any issues. If you have any further questions, let me know on my talkpage! ;) - Mailer Diablo 06:50, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Username change
Your request has been fulfilled. Regards — Dan | talk 16:50, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] ==List of Indiana State Roads==
I was going to take care of the article names in the list shortly. However, this move is not disputed -- I'm not using parens for disambiguation here. the discussion here points out that " If someone wants to move to Routes go ahead though, but we need the caps". This is basd on the erroneous comment that Indiana has "state routes," when they in fact have "State Roads". Hence, I'm only correcting his statement in that "if anyone wants to move to Roads go ahead though". This is not discussed to death. atanamir 23:08, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Editing pussy
You wrote: "I can't believe I had to log in to make such a trivial edit".
Regrettably, for a long time the pages duck (because of the silly public image of ducks) and pussy (because of the sexual slang sense of "pussy") have been persistently vandalized and at least 90% of their edits wwre vandalism and reverts, so that both had been semiprotected.

[edit] Really old edits
Man, would've thought they'd be fixed by now. Then again I should be cleaning up my own messes, so I'll get on that. --Wizardman 23:28, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] re: James Moody
Move done! Only reason I didn't do it before was that I wasn't sure which was wanted. All cleared up now, hope that works. Cheers, Snoutwood 09:21, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Stubs
Snoutwood's note: I moved this post from your userpage, where I believe it was accidentally posted (diff). Apologies if this was a mistake on my part. Snoutwood 03:17, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi - you wrote:
- I've looked, and so far haven't found it documented anywhere. Since you're one of the most savvy Stub people, I figured I'd as you--shouldn't stub messages be located below the visible article text (often the last external link), and _above_ the cats (and probably above large nav footers as well)?
They go below all nav footers, but whether they go before or after the cats is largely a matter of personal preference. Most stub-sorters put them after them, though, so that the stub category appears last in the category list. The relevant info is here. Not sure why they're putting in so much white space though... Grutness...wha? 04:48, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bhababhushan Mitra
Hello! While editing, especially adding references and sources, I discover that they do not appear on the body of the article. Can you open its Talk Page and help ? Thanks.--BobClive 08:25, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
Hearty thanks for your prompt intervention. Enjoy your day.--BobClive 07:50, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
