Hi again

edit

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button   located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! Addhoc 13:15, 14 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Welcome and Hi

edit

Noticed you were involved in an AfD debate. Welcome! A few things you should know as a newbie:

  • 1) always sign you name using ~~~~ on all talk pages (don't do it on any articles main page, just talk pages)
  • 2) You expressed concern about the "harm" in the article since it apparently did not contain any factually wrong information. You should read Wikipedia's notability guidelines and What Wikipedia is Not... especially to understand the point that "Wikipedia Is Not An Indiscriminate Collection of Information". The community-edited part of wikipedia also means we are community-deleted, not only community-created. If we are to build a high quality encyclopedia, then all articles should be encyclopedic in nature. If the subject is not worthy of being in wikipedia, it should be deleted. We are edited by consensus here, the idea being that the sheer number of editors will help mean that Wikipedia in some way mirrors society vis-a-vis what is important. MANY experienced editors here spend most of our time improving articles, not just creating them. Some articles have NO possible improvement, and so are deleted.


Again, Be Bold. If you find an article in error, or badly written, or anything else you think needs fixing, edit away. If you do something unintentionally wrong, it will be caught quickly and fixed. We always assume good faith here at wikipedia, so people don't take it personally when someone changes an article.
Happy Editing --Jayron32 06:10, 12 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

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

edit

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 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 be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 22:28, 13 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
