User talk:Markrkrebs
Welcome!
Hello Markrkrebs, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.
At Wikipedia, new Users do not automatically receive a welcome; not even a machine-generated welcome. Welcome messages come from other Users. They are personal and genuine. They contain an offer of assistance if such assistance is ever desired.
I suggest to everyone I welcome that they may find some of the following helpful — there’s nothing personal in my suggestion and you may not need any of them:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Avoiding common mistakes
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}}
on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Dolphin (t) 22:38, 13 May 2012 (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 Nettrom (talk), 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 (talk) 17:47, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
Cleanup protocol
[edit]Hello Mark. You recently edited Talk:Longitudinal static stability, adding a new thread titled "Cleanup protocol", erasing some of your earlier comments, and also erasing one of my edits. (Here is your diff.) On Wikipedia it is considered inappropriate to amend someone else's message on a Talk page, unless perhaps it is to correct a formatting error that prevents that message from displaying correctly on our browsers. It is unacceptable to erase someone else's message unless it is seriously offensive or contravenes Wikipedia's policy on biographical details about living persons. It is also unnecessary to erase one of your own messages. There is nothing wrong with allowing a Talk page to grow to a significant length. Eventually an experienced User will transfer the oldest messages to an Archive page. Here is an example of an Archived Talk page: Talk:Lift_(force)/Archive_1
If you want to distance yourself from something you wrote in an earlier message it is possible to strike it out, like this. To strike out some of your text, simply put the three characters <s> at the beginning of the text to be struck out, and the four characters </s> at the end.
Please return to Talk:Longitudinal static stability and restore all previous messages, including mine. Feel free to add extra topics, or to strike out anything you wrote that you now wish to distance yourself from. Regards. Dolphin (t) 22:51, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
