Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello Alphathon, welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed nobody had said hi yet... Hi!

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

You might like some of these links and tips:

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alf melmac 14:15, 27 November 2005 (UTC).[reply]

Thanks

For your recent contributions to the Xbox 360 article (one in need of much tender, loving care), I award you this small token of my appreciation. Please keep up the good work. –xenotalk 00:43, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Additions to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3

Ok, sorry about that edit. I'll try not to do it again mate.

But the thing you said about the release date being different in each region, I just wanted to say something; I wrote "It was first released in". So I actually wrote when it was firstly released.

PS3 model comparison

Thanks heaps for helping me in simplifying the table. I've tried so many things to make it simpler... but it just never looked right. It looks much better now. ★Ffgamera★ - My page! · Talk to me!· Contribs 08:37, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

PlayStation

Hi Alphathon! Can you please fix the spacing at PlayStation one more time, because I can't see what you did. There was vandalism before your edit, so I reverted. Thank you! Lova Falk (talk) 11:27, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mega Drive article

I admit I was being a bit stupid with the caption and the png vs. jpeg image, but I actually like that picture as a secondary main image. The Super NES article has two main images listed, and I awoke to a pleasant surprise seeing that image there this morning. I have put it back, and it has given me some ideas for more images within the article. Thank you for your positive edits and support! : ) SexyKick 00:47, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am actually planning that space for other images. I know it can be overly complicated working on the Mega Drive article due to there being so many revisions, peripherals, and companies involved (especially with the revival last year.) That's why I think this image is so awesome for a main image, it incorporates so much into one image. Moreover, the United States is where the Mega Drive sold the most units, and specifically with the Genesis 2 model. So units sold wise, it's the most well known model, with both add ons, both controllers, and it's such a well done image on top of it (most of the images on here are pretty crappy and I don't have a camera, so I have to ask others for help.) I am really hoping I don't have to take this to the talk page, since 1. I'm pretty sure we'd side with you in the end anyway, I partially agree with most of your points, and 2. We haven't had to take anything to the talk page for a few months now. I could really use help in fixing a few of the references, cleaning up the Variations & Revival sections/get more references for those two sections as well. I see you're a good editor and all, and I truly appreciate the help you've been providing with the article. Please let this one slide.--SexyKick 01:19, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I like that plan! I hope it works out. I really dig the new image. I'm glad you suggested that. Really if we could have found a way to keep the caption size down, it's still using almost exactly the same/less space as the SNES info box images.--SexyKick 01:30, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Really the logos should be considered separate from the console images. There are three logos in the MD article, vs. two in the SNES article. Both have two console images (hypothetically.) So the SNES article actually has four images, not three...the reason you probably didn't notice that, is because the caption only talks about the console images, and not the logos. Personally I think that means we could condense the MD caption to only talk about the consoles, rather than the Logos.--SexyKick 01:45, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It really is two logos. [1] & [2] I've thrown together another compromise based on this information.--SexyKick 01:53, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I know when you posted it, I saw the time stamps, you posted it less than one minute after I posted my second message here, so there was no way you saw my second message here at that time. I understood. There was no need to say that stuff there about "an hour ago," or repeat the tid-bit on the talk page not being this or that. I just feel like it's drama baiting, or at least embarrassing for me, for you to write that. You're supposed to try to resolve conflicts by talking with the other editor before bringing things to the talk page. It's protocol, not set in stone protocol, but loose protocol. In this case, it was simply an editor disagreement (albeit a small one IMHO, since we're almost on the same page, but not quite.) The only times I see people talk in talk pages is when they either want to dispute something in the article/content, want to add something to the article/content, or want help editing a section of the article/content. The only thing this could have fallen into was the dispute, and since we were clearly capable of settling it between ourselves (which, much respect to you btw for being that open and social and helpful to be able to settle a slight disagreement without an actual edit war,) there's no need to bring it to the talk page. Basically that's just giving more people the chance to say the image shouldn't be there, whom otherwise wouldn't care - in this case. Either way, I'm sure we can be done with this now. Overall it is a pleasure working with you, and I foresee us working well together in the future.--SexyKick 02:44, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
BTW I'm impressed with your caption toning. I hope you'll help with the other things in the article I said I could use help with.--SexyKick 02:53, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki-11233

I'll clear his talk page. His trial unblock was very short, as he just couldn't learn to edit properly.—Kww(talk) 21:45, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

IP user 68.173.229.242

Hi Alphathon. I just had a quick question- do you know what's up with this edit [3] and this edit [4] by the IP? It is very odd- he is both affixing his IP to the end of your signature, and then affixing a post of his directly to your post without any sort of differential. The first time I could have dismissed it as a fluke, but when he does it twice, despite having used proper formatting in his talk in the past[5], it gives a direct impression that he's trying to say he's you. I don't want to post anything in the discussion page until I can sort this out. FluffyPug (talk) 17:37, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
