Welcome! edit
Hi AlexJP, 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 :
Oh yes, don't forget to sign when you write on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: [[User:Mailer diablo|Mailer Diablo]] 03:09, 11 December 2005 (UTC).

I have noticed that you have tagged db-bio in the article and you are concerned that the tag is removed. The article is now under consideration for deletion. Please raise your opinion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eric Yan. Regards, --Hurricane111 21:47, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
nn-warn2 edit
Hi, since all other templates under Category:User warning templates are mainspace templates, I've taken the liberty to copy User:AlexJP/nn-warn2 to the mainspace, under Template:Nn-warn2, and prevented the userspace template from showing up. Hope that's ok with you. Shawnc 12:07, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
nn-bio edit
You added this tag to Michael Farr - One of the greatest doctors, inventors & statesmen of the century.. While this article is.. um.. totally inappropriate (POV title anyone?), WP:CSD A7 clearly doesn't apply; even the title asserts Farr's importance. :) Just letting you know; many people misinterpret A7 to mean "non-notable biography"; rather, articles that meet CSD A7 go well beyond non-notable.

Inappropriate Tor/Open Proxy Block edit
{{unblock-auto|1=66.189.117.74|2=<nowiki>{{Tor}}|3=Can't sleep, clown will eat me}}</nowiki>
Tor on 66.189.117.74 has the following exit policy:
ExitPolicy reject *:*
Therefore, Tor on this host will never connect to Wikipedia. Please unblock. Thank you,
- I've referred this to Wikipedia:WikiProject on open proxies. There is a backlog there so you may have to wait patiently for a little while. Thanks. ➨ ЯEDVERS 15:44, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Deletion debate on ZIP codes edit
An {{afd}} tag has been placed on List of 56 ZIP codes and many other pages, requesting that they be deleted from Wikipedia. All Wikipedians can join the debate at Articles for deletion, where articles asserted to be inappropriate to Wikipedia are discussed. You are encouraged to submit your opinion, and remember that Articles for Deletion debates are not a vote. Please do not remove the deletion tag yourself, but don't feel inhibited from editing the article, particularly if doing so makes it clear that it is a useful contribution to an encyclopaedia.
