Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
How to edit a page
Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
Picture tutorial
How to write a great article
Naming conventions
Manual of Style
If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Wikipedia:Topical index.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! --Fangz 15:15, 31 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Double-lined mackerel

The article title is perfectly fine; all that needed to be done is a complete rewrite, with meaningful stuff. Thanks. -Hmib 07:45, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I've rewritten the article as a stub; please take a look. Also, I'm claiming this as "my" page. :D -Hmib 07:52, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Diving cleanup

You added the cleanup tag to Diving, but didn't explain what needed to be done. Please add a note to the Talk:Diving page listing what you think needs getting done - that will help people(like me) to do it. You can also make use of the Wikipedia:Cleanup Taskforce. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia! JesseW 23:34, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Welcome 2

Welcome to Wikipedia, have fun, be bold, and did I say have fun. Jtkiefer 01:46, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)

GHS

Collin Sutton, GHS c/o '07. In-text citations are often helpful, I agree. Maybe we should try to place the citations (templated or not) with the section the source is used in whenever possible? When a citation link is broken, though, such as the one under history, they're no good at all. Something else to consider: it would seem that the general style on Wikipedia is to provide a link the the Wiki page for a certain thing if it exists, rather than to simply provide a link to an external web page (as I've done with the Mountaineers reference).--Insaneinside 19:57, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'll do the photo replacement; additional reply at Talk:James_A._Garfield_High_School_(Seattle)#Image_replacement_request. Insaneinside 23:28, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm happy to help however you like. If there's a bit of ancient Garfield history or a bio, you're more than welcome to run it by me for details. It sounds like you've got a good project going. (By the way, at my 20th reunion last month, I re-met your principal, who was in my class. Good guy.)--Mike Selinker 07:43, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Word Freak

Thanks for getting in touch with me. Regarding the Word Freak entry, I think if you just remove the quote from the LA Times, and also the reference to "Farsis' wit" (just "Farsis' humorous approaches" would be better), the NPOV requirements would be satisfied. Bwithh 18:55, 26 October 2005 (UTC) Thanks for your contribution to Wikipedia. I have now removed the NPOV tag from Word Freak Bwithh 19:28, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

speedy tags

Thanks: Any guidance on what was inappropriate will be appreciated. Just doing my best to keep out garbage.—Gaff ^ταλκ 02:37, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

user page

your userpage is a disconnected, incongruent autobiographical ramble. it is therefore nonsense and should be taken off of wikipedia.

see reply at User_talk:129.74.120.219

Main Page

No worries, I was actually talking to HereToHelp, not you. On his talk page he states he is a newbie, which is why I assumed he was not an admin. — flamingspinach | (talk) 23:04, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

delete tags

Thanks. I won't use { {delete} } any more. Is there a list of suitable tags anywhere? --Bucephalus talk to me 18:31, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Mrs. Campbell

I added the speedy tag there. Please feel free to remove the tag if the article is valid. Tintin 18:44, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Torture Flights

Please use the discussion section to detail the nature of the cleanup needed and the nature of the neutrality claim. You have made neither. 24.18.194.118 06:09, 8 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

SOFA district

You added the extremely generic US-stub to this article. In the future, please consider using a more specific and helpful stub such as NorthCarolina-geo-stub. You can find all of them at Wikipedia:Stub_categories. Doing a quick spell check on stubs doesn't hurt either. --WAvegetarian 23:06, 10 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that. I went to Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types#Geographical and didn't see anything more specific than US-stub. I'll check again next time! — MATHWIZ2020 ^{TALK | CONTRIBS} 23:10, 10 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Speedy Deletion

I apologize for utilizing the speedy deletion template. However, as a non-admin contributing wikipedian, I found that that particular page met criteria for speedy deletion, like a hand in a glove. How do you suppose I should tag such pages for speedy deletion, in the future, for example, without creating unnecessary work for admins? --Master Jay 01:09, 11 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hoax: Gunnamatta Bay

Well I must say that Gunnamatta Bay was indeed created by an anonymous IP (210.50.73.10) who did not fill in an edit summary clearly stating where it was etc., as I was viewing New-pages and the content that you can only see of the article is the edit summary, henceforth, I viewed it as suspicious. -- Kilo-Lima 17:39, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Deletions

That "newbie" was on a spree of nonsense edits. That was why it was deleted. 810,000 articles and you're worried about a redirect? More often than not, redirecting is exactly what I do. - Lucky 6.9 00:26, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Navy Baseball Issues

Thank you very much for your quick response. I had recently been directed to your site by some satisfied Naval Officer peers and Wikipedia users stating that it might be another great way to let military people know about our program.

As you might imagine with service members all over the world, they will tend to use a variety of search engines to locate our program once they hear about it, or just surf in one day.

Please advise the next steps to make this happen. I currently own and operate both domains: www.usmilitaryallstars.us and www.usnavybaseball.com

I am listed everywhere as the General manager since 1990 on various articles and on our sites. If you require further proof, please advise what will be acceptable.

Thanks Again,

LCDR Terrence R. Allvord U.S. Navy Baseball U.S. Military All-Stars

Pecina

As requested, I removed hoax tag and put a move to wiktionary tag. Also I put a "verify" tag on it.

Navy Baseball Issues

Great... I'll rewrite them as you have requested. Thanks for your time.
