Hi, I just wanted to drop a friendly note. I really like ITN because, despite its obvious imperfections, it is a place where editors often come together to discuss and evaluate content and notability based on arguments, rather than based on personality. I think our example is a textbook case of this - we agree on many issues, yet disagree on others, and we do so civilly, and never resort to personal comments; I find the same applies with other users on there. Anyway, just wanted to drop by to say hi! [[User:Colipon|Colipon]]+<small>([[User talk:Colipon|Talk]])</small> 02:15, 16 May 2012 (UTC) |

Welcome Bzweebl!
Some pages of helpful information to get you started: | Some common sense Do's and Don'ts:

If you need further help, you can: | or even: |
Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}}
here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.
There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes
(~~~~)
at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put
{{My sandbox}}
on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.Your recent edits
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 could also click on the signature button
or
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 14:56, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
Massive deletion
What is this a duplicate of? Your edits are welcome, but please do be careful of deleting such a large amount of content by other editors in the future.[1] Thanks, and happy editing! Khazar2 (talk) 16:21, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
- The exact same section was already in the article earlier on. There were two of the section I deleted. —Bzweebl— talk 16:28, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
- My mistake, and thank you for the catch; I should have double-checked before saying anything. Keep up the good work! Khazar2 (talk) 16:31, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
In The News/Recurring Items
I am posting here to ask for editors to look at Wikipedia:In_the_news/Recurring_items and to comment at the talk page to discuss/vote on an amendment to the ITN/R list. I am posting this message on a number of editor's talk pages to encourage debate.
In connection to an ongoing debate on which items can appear on the front page under "In The News", "Recurring Items" are nominated events which require very little debate in the nomination process.
I propose the following amendment to the current ITN/R list. In addition I will put this on the talk page of as many editors as I can find who are contributors to ITN/C
At Wikipedia:In_the_news/Recurring_items, I propose the following amendment to section 3:
- At line 5, delete "and", and add after "territories" the words "and the world's twenty smallest nations".
Section 3, Line 5 would then read:
- Disputed states, dependent territories and the world's twenty smallest nations should be discussed at WP:ITN/C and judged on their own merits.
I look forward to the debate doktorb wordsdeeds 07:22, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
ITNR for elections
As someone who regularly contributes to election articles: Due to recurrent discussions that lead nowhere, an open-ended discussion and proposals are invited Wikipedia talk:In the news/Recurring items/Elections for ITN on the main page as to what should be recurrent without ITNC discussionsLihaas (talk) 07:24, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
Can you not read an Edit summary?
Please stop accusing me of "mistakes". If you can read an Edit summary, it's obvious that they're not. We may have a difference of opinion. That does not mean that either of us is mistaken.
Your repetitive, insulting Edit summaries (unlike mine) will not convince me to give up. It's a Talk page, FFS, not an article. Don't be so silly about this. HiLo48 (talk) 23:12, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
- Are you sure about this? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you have been writing edit summaries which appear to me to be advocating that there be a listed option of keeping the status quo, yet these edit summaries have been coupled with edits which seem to delete the option of maintaining the status quo. Am I getting mixed up here? —Bzweebl— talk 23:20, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
Removal of a !vote
Hi there. While I appreciate the comment that you made in this edit, I also see that at the same time, you removed my !vote from an unrelated discussion. Was this intentional? If so, I'd like to know why; if not, I'd encourage greater care in future. AlexTiefling (talk) 11:54, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
- I'm sorry about that, I'm not quite sure how that happened. I didn't mean to. I will try to be more careful next time, so thanks a lot for letting me know. —Bzweebl— talk 22:06, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
Signature difficult to read
The appearance and color of your signature are such that that your signature -- —Bzweebl— talk -- is difficult to read. Please look over Wikipedia:Signatures and consider changing the appearance and color of your signature to ensure that the end result is easily readable by virtually everybody. Thanks! -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 14:16, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
- The signature uses the CSS3 text-shadow property which is unsupported by some browsers, for example all normal releases of Internet Explorer. Without text-shadow support the signature becomes —Bzweebl— talk. The username is hard to see for many people. Please pick a color which is more readable when text-shadow is unsupported. PrimeHunter (talk) 11:41, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks to both of you for explaining your concerns. My signature should look normal for everyone besides me now. Bzweebl (Talk) 14:50, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
- Is this new signature acceptable? Bzweebl (talk) 04:28, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
- I like it. It reminds me somewhat of a form of Synesthesia (specifically grapheme–color synesthesia), a condition that fascinates me so much that I almost wish I had it. Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 19:19, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
- It looks OK to me. It's also OK to use text-shadow if the text color is easy to read in browsers where text-shadow is unsupported. PrimeHunter (talk) 19:36, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank you!
Thank you for the barnstar! It brought me a huge smile! I thought it was going to be a disambiguation notice. Take care! :) ComputerJA (talk) 06:07, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
ITN and jazz
Hi, I just wanted to drop a friendly note. I really like ITN because, despite its obvious imperfections, it is a place where editors often come together to discuss and evaluate content and notability based on arguments, rather than based on personality. I think our example is a textbook case of this - we agree on many issues, yet disagree on others, and we do so civilly, and never resort to personal comments; I find the same applies with other users on there. Anyway, just wanted to drop by to say hi! Colipon+(Talk) 02:15, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
