From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome, and thank you for correcting spelling on Wikipedia! However, both spellings of the word you "corrected" are acceptable.

Please familiarize yourself with American and British English spelling differences before making further spelling corrections to articles. Wikipedia has 4,066,467 registered users on this English Wikipedia. These editors use different versions of English including American English and British English. The list of dialects of the English language goes on and on.

When many styles are acceptable, avoid changing from one style to another unless there is some substantial reason for the change. It is acceptable to change from American spelling to British spelling only if the article concerns a British topic or vice versa or if you are making the article internally consistent.

More information is available on Wikipedia's Manual of Style. Enjoy your time on the internet's fastest growing encyclopædia/encyclopedia . Thank you. HawkerTyphoon 02:55, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Well, a few Americans were involved, but as a rule we don't change words from Englsh to American or vice versa - it sort of splits the community, and believe me, if an American spots you doing it you'll have an edit war the size of the battle of Britain on your hands;-) I see your point though, make the change, my mistake!

[edit] Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 16:00, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adoption Offer

Hello, Terminator50! You have placed a message on your userpage saying that you want to be adopted! I have come with an offer to adopt you. If you would like to know anything about me, go to my userpage or leave me a message on my talk page asking me a question about myself. You may respond here or on my talk page.

[edit] How to add pictures

This is a sample caption

The way to upload pictures requires a few things first. If you click on the "edit this page" icon and scroll down to the image, you will notice that there is a special code for the picture with the name of the picture and a period and jpg at the end of the first section. To upload a picture, you must use the code for the picture you wish to load. The other things in the code are things you can change. I do not know what the "thumb" means in the code, but I will make sure to figure it out! The 130px in the next section means 130 pixels. You can change the number to make the picture bigger or smaller. The last section is the caption. Changing the caption will change the word or words it says under the picture. I hope this helps!

No problem! Hey, that's why I adopted you! :) Captain panda In vino veritas 03:51, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Preventing Confusion

Hi! This is Captain panda again! Just wanted to let you know that the userbox saying you are requesting adoption is still on your userpage. Since you have been adopted, you should remove the userbox requesting adoption and replace it with this {{Adoptee|Captain panda}} so you won't get any other offers. Just wanted to prevent you from getting another adoption offer from someone else since you are already adopted. :) Captain panda In vino veritas 21:16, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

No problem. Thanks for taking care of that. Captain panda In vino veritas 21:39, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Userpage Help

Ok, Terminator50, here goes. To make a userbox holding area, use this: {{Userboxtop|Caption goes here}} {{userbox}} {{another userbox}} {{continue until you have all your userboxes in order}} {{Userboxbottom}}

To make categories or captions in the userbox rows, type '''Sample Category''' except replace Sample Category with your category name. To see an example of this, click here to see my list of userboxes and see how I do it.

If you have any other questions, please ask!

Am I good with computers? Well, I am pretty good, but I don't know everything about them. If you give me a question, I will see if I can answer it. Sorry, but I really can't give you a more specific answer. Captain panda In vino veritas 01:30, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Process for moving parts of articles to other articles

The process needed depends on what you are doing. If you are just going to duplicate information to another article, you only need to copy, paste, and word the section so that it makes sense in the article. If you are going to delete an entire page and move it to another article, you should go to WP:AFD and submit this article to be deleted and merged. You will need to make an explanation as to where and why it should merged. If you are going to delete a section of a page and move it to another article, then you should make sure there is still reason for the article to exist after this information is deleted. If the article can still exist and should not be deleted, then post a message on the article talk page saying what you did and why you did it. Also, make sure to note what you did and provide a link to the article you moved it to. If you don't leave an explanation, people may think you deleted the information as vandalism! Hope this helps!

[edit] Suggestions to improve userpage

The first thing I would suggest is that you look at other user's userpages and take ideas from them. Some I would suggest are User:AndonicO and User:Why1991 to start. However, any pages you find are acceptable. Ideas to take are visual links, portals, and that sort of thing, userboxes you like, images, or anything else you see that you would like to see on your userpage. Also, adding more text about yourself and what you like to do on Wikipedia is useful as well. Whatever you want to have on your userpage you can get! Also, you don't need to rush development on your userpage. Mine took about 3 months and is still being worked on. :) Captain panda 13:59, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
