Thanks! I've been hitting a lot of those pages trying to learn. I've long been a fan of giving back and WP is a great place to do it. Those who know me think I am a wealth of useless and obscure knowledge, but I'll be keeping the majority of my edits small until I get the hang of things (linking text to entries, grammar). After that I hope to graduate to some real research and writing.

I must also point out the best surprise about editing and participating here: The vast majority of other users are gracious, helpful and encouraging. The community is the most under-discussed element outside of WP. badmonkey 05:27, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

'ello! : )

Hey!

Do note that to link an entry, you should enclose the word to be linked in two brackets, like [[this]] :)

Also, you can sign your name most efficiently by typing ~~~~ after your comment(s).

Gosh, that sounded like a form letter. Small world, huh? ;x

I fixed your accidental comment blanking

You seemed to remove an unusual amount of text from Talk:Ann Coulter. Such a removal is comment for the Firefox and Google Toolbar bug which causes long articles to get cropped off. I reverted your edit, but couldn't find anything in it to merge. Although I see you've already made another edit to add the comment you wanted to in again. Kevin_b_er 00:56, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for that. It was purely un-intentional. When I saved the article it looked a bit odd, thus the second edit. Do you know where I can find more information on this bug? You rock! badmonkey 01:09, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia Campus Ambassador needed

Hi! My name is Annie Lin - I'm the Campus Team Coordinator at the Wikimedia Foundation. I'm contacting you because you're listed as a resident of San Francisco, and we're currently looking for a friendly Wikipedian to teach students in a University of San Francisco class how to use/edit Wikipedia. This is a role titled the "Wikipedia Campus Ambassador," and you'll basically be doing in-class presentations about Wikipedia, running Wikipedia labs/workshops, and in general providing face-to-face Wikipedia help for the professor and the students in the class. The time commitment is about 3-5 hours a week (with variations throughout the semester), and for this particular University of San Francisco class, most of the workload will be between March and May.

Please let me know if you're interested!

Thanks. Annie Lin (Campus Team Coordinator, Wikimedia Foundation) (talk) 18:50, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 17:01, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
