I love seeing that little bar that says "You have new messages."
However, I do ask that you follow some guidelines when leaving me a message:
1. Please be civil.
2. Please sign your messages by typing ~~~~ or by using the edit toolbar. The automated signature button is the one to the right of the crossed out "W".
If I feel that a response is needed (which is usual), I will do my best to reply within 24 hours.
Please understand if I do not respond immediately. Also please be understanding if I do not answer your message in the order that it was received.
welcome
[edit]Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. I hope we will be friends!
Welcome!
Hello, Lightreaper2000, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}}
on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!
Cheers! —Randfan 21:49, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
If you need any help just ask! Cheers! —Randfan 21:59, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- By the way, signing your name & date with ~~~~ allows users to trace the person who edited something and respond more easily. Okay, well, see you; again. —Randfan 22:02, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

replying
[edit]There are three main ways to reply to a mesage: On their talk page, your own talk page, or both. I use the first because it alerts the other to the response but it's hard to follow the conversation if someone else is looking at it, but the second allows people to easily follow strings of conversations but it doesn't alert the other user to your response (I don't like the 2nd one, but don't follow my opinion if you don't want to; I'm not trying to influence you). And the last is the most "ideal" for other users but it doubles your edit count (and that isn't necesarilly the best thing). So reply how you like, except I would like it if you replied on my talk page (forever). Also, if it's in a discussion page for an article (or the now-gone Coffee Lounge) you should reply there and if it is a question or they ask you to reply to them, you might want to reply on their talk page(s) also, but definately on the page. ¡Adios! —Randfan 22:34, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
anything else?
[edit]As the title says... This is for anyone reading this page... Don't worry about your signature, yet, Reaper. Au revoir! —Randfan 00:09, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
sig
[edit]Well, if you want, I will help getting you a signature. ¡Well, cheers! —¡Randfan! 22:22, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
I got this with:
<span style="background:darkred">[[User:Lightreaper2000|<span style="color:black;"><b>Light</b></span>]][[User talk:Lightreaper2000|<span style="color:yellow;">Reaper</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Lightreaper2000|<span style="color:white;">''2.000''</span>]]</span>
¡Well, cheers! —¡Randfan! 22:22, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Preferences
[edit]By the way, you might want to set your preferences (in the top right corner) :) ¡Well, cheers! —¡Randfan! 22:25, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- In your preferences, you can set your signature by checking RAW SIGNATURE and putting the code in or {{user:lightreaper2000/links/signatures/Randfan's sig. proposal}}. ¡Well, cheers! —¡Randfan! 23:23, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
your talk page
[edit]Do you mind that I changed your user talk page? ¡Well, cheers! —¡Randfan! 22:30, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- It is easily chnged so don't worry, and if you need help just ask me and I will delete/change/revert it. ¡Well, cheers! —¡Randfan! 22:39, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
archiving
[edit]I set Werdnabot to archive you talk page (the link will be at the top of the screen). If you want to gt rid of it just delete/revert it. If you want to change the time for it to archive just edit it to fit your wants on both occurences. Also, you might want to see your archive page because it may hold some of these messages, depending on how long your away. I'm not going to time stamp this so you will see it even if it should be archived. To time-stamp it, just edit it and insert ~~~~~ at the end and after the set time, it should archive. Remember the time is kind of long so you might want to edit it or get rid of it completely. ¡Well, cheers! —¡Randfan!
Wikipedia organizations
[edit]After a certain amount of time and edits (etc.) you can join groups such as: Esperanza, Concordia, the Kindness Campaign (which I organized the signing up for...), and Wikiprojects such as Novels or Moon. ¡Well, cheers! —¡Randfan! 23:41, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
why I'm doing this
[edit]...because something tells me I'd like you and I have a god feeling if you stay. ¡Well, cheers! —¡Randfan! 23:44, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Can you make a redirect (user redirect) to here because your name is kind of long. :)
To make a redirect type: #redirect [[user:Lightreaper2000]] in the page you made. —¡Randfan! 20:24, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
User page
[edit]I don't like blank pages, so you better make one before I do! :) I'd fill it in with this:
[[Image:Holbein-death.png]] so this appears:

[edit]I hope you don't mind me signing you up for the sign-up post. You can find all of your sign-up post messages here. —¡Randfan!
