User talk:LightYear
Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. We as a community are glad to have you and thank you for creating a user account! 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
- Merging, redirecting, and renaming pages
- If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Wikipedia:Topical index.
Yes some of the links appear a bit boring at first, but they are VERY helpful if you ever take the time to read them.
Remember to place any articles you create into a category so we don't get orphans.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, please be sure to sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, or three tildes (~~~) for just your name. 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.
P.S - I like messages. :) -Ravedave 00:57, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
Request for Deletion
[edit]A tag has been placed on Im in ur base killin ur d00dz, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article is a repost of either already posted material, or of material that was previously deleted under Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion. If you can indicate how Im in ur base killin ur d00dz is different from all other articles, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template {{hangon}}, and also put a note on Talk:Im in ur base killin ur d00dz saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 4 under General criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. We welcome your help in trying to improve Wikipedia, and we ask you to follow these instructions. Geoffrey Spear 15:43, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
[edit]SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 01:59, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Energy
[edit]Thank you for your work merging the two energy articles. Frank van Mierlo 12:44, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
Given your previous kind comments would you be willing to support the Energy: world resources and consumption as a featured article? If so please click the link on the talk page and write your comments.
Orphaned fair use image (Image:In-your-base-01.jpg)
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:In-your-base-01.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

){kind=link}
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Template:Units of energy, by Sarregouset (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Template:Units of energy fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Template:Units of energy, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 22:53, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
Re: Template:Units of energy
[edit]I’m sorry; when I noticed it, it had not been edited substantially since January, so I assumed it was dead in the water. All it contained, if I remember correctly, was the conversion of calories and watt-hours into joules and a bunch of ‘≡ 1’s across the table diagonally. This information (and more) is on pages such as Joule already.
You are right in that Units of energy could use an organized set of conversion factors; I had not seen that page before. Perhaps you can create something that fulfills the purpose of the deleted template. –Sarregouset (Talk) 11:48, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
- I agree; that will do for now. It had a need for some kind of table with that information, and you fulfilled it. –Sarregouset (Talk) 22:11, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
TINA2011
[edit]
Wikimedia is at TINA. Come along any time today to participate in an interactive visual workshop about Wikis. Bring along your photographs and stories to participate in creation and editing of Wikipedia content. We're planning a meetup for dinner this evening, so signup and watchlist Wikipedia:Meetup/Newcastle/TINA2011. --John Vandenberg (chat) 21:13, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
The article List of charting software has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Laundry list with no wiki links, only external links; no indication of notability; no equivalent Charting software article
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
