Nice to see you in WIKI

Hi, this is a first time, I see someone from subwayt in WIKI. It a surprize for me. The same surprize I got in Russian WIKI when my forummates stated to appear here. So... I wish you all the best, and welcome to my WIKI page GK tramrunner 22:49, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to wikipedia, David. Thanks for your input; it will help all who visit Wiki looking for information. I would like to add an observation, though. Without providing specific, verifiable references (as in footnotes), you could on occasion see your material edited or deleted as unsupported. For example, you might know that Jamaica Yard holds R32 and R46 subway cars for the E and F lines because you've seen the yard and looked at the cars, but without offering a reference for that, this material could be deleted. So for articles on the NYC subway, for example, you could help yourself by referring to MTA press releases, official information on MTA's site, similar material from the railcar manufacturers, etc. It appears that the consensus opinion on Wikipedia (somebody out there correct me if I'm wrong) is that nycsubway.org (Dave Pirmann's site) is also considered reliable. Wikipedia likes lots of references, and hyperlinks to other Wiki articles. Good luck to you on Wiki; your contributions are welcome and needed. 15:56, 16 April 2007 (UTC)Raryel

Nice!

I'd never picked up on that there was no apartment briefing scene in "Operation: Rogosh" on Mission: Impossible. Great observation. --PoughkeepsieNative (talk) 20:03, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.
