Hi, SIGBUS, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the Five pillars of Wikipedia and simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will be by to help you shortly.


Additional tips

edit

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Five will get you the datestamp only.
  • You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
  • If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
  • If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Hennepin Canal Lock 1

edit

Dear SIGBUS

I am most interested in your photo of Hennepin Canal Lock 1. I have long been suspicious about the statement that the lock was submerged as aerial photos of the area seem to show a water level that would only indicate partial back flooding from the Illinois River. But, such suspicious statements are not unusual in canal research.

I would like to talk with you further about this lock and the Hennepin Canal in general.

Please respond to dgbarber@cs.com.

Thanks!

Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme

OK. I'm confused. If Sven-David Sandström's composition is completely different, then what is it doing on the page for the Bach cantata? Should it have its own page? I can see putting a "see also" link on the Bach cantata page, but I don't see devoiding a whole section to a completely different work by someone else. DavidRF (talk) 03:34, 15 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
