Revision as of 19:04, 1 May 2021

Welcome

Hello Beatgr and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you've chosen to join us. This is a great project with lots of dedicated people, which might seem intimidating at times, but don't let anything discourage you. Be bold!, explore, and contribute. If you want to learn more,

The following links might also come in handy:

Float around for awhile until you find something that tickles your fancy. One easy way to do this is to hit the random page button in the navigation bar to the left. You can write new articles, add to existing ones, or edit any and all pages that appear. There are also many great committees and groups that focus on particular jobs. My personal favorite stomping grounds are Wikipedia:Translation into English and Wikipedia:Cleanup for sloppy articles, but they may not interest you. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki projects that you might enjoy more, but Wikipedia is the most popular by far.

There are a few crucial points to keep in mind when editing. Be civil with users, strive to maintain a neutral point of view, and show good etiquette like signing your comments with four tildas like this: ~~~~ If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask me anything on my talk page or ask the true experts at Wikipedia:Help desk. Again, welcome! Draeco 21:48, 26 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Notes

After 3 or 4 WikiBots that seem to have a mind of their own -- of both writing "new versions of history" and censorship of ideas of the "bots" creator -- User:Carnildo being the most noticable. Now an administrator and is now against censorship (what a change in attitude).[1] This web article by Larry Sanger, one of the Wikipedia co-founders, Wikipedia credibility & management problems-- summarizes the current problems very well. Some respectable institutions have informed students -- they now discourage Wikipedia for source material. [2]

I am reducing my volunteer contributions and time to Wikipedia. My limited time can be better spent with more rewarding projects and initatives. Too bad, seems like a nice idea - but Wikipedia is attracting too many "Spin Control" editors - and will not receive my financial support. Beatgr 16:12, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly, some the best people (and contributors) -- Draeco being one -- have also left, taken a long break or reduced their contributions. Beatgr 02:28, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

School officials unite in banning Wikipedia

Comments that an "open - anyone can edit philosophy" is both bias and flawed in structure.[2]

Illinois State Routes WikiProject created!

Hello! I just wanted to let you know that I've created Wikipedia:WikiProject Illinois State Routes so that all Illinois state route articles can be standardized. Let me know what you think on its talk page. Thanks! —Rob (talk) 18:25, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

5 Year Break Ends

Beginning in October 2006, I took a break from Wikipedia due to its chaos (Elonka Dunin, demoted to semi-active admin) and lack of control for robotic editing and nameless, unqualified editors.[3] Wikipedia editor Oden was one editor that built a "bot" that posted notices about images uploaded over 12 months ago for various articles that I originally wrote. It was a poorly written program that did make mistakes, and destroyed thousands of entries. Since I was on extended "break" at that time due to work and holidays, I did not see these messages. He has "left Wikipedia' permanently as an editor (I don't know why, don't care).[4] I can find few articles that he actually researched and wrote. Beatgr Updated 24 February 2012

Live each day - you may not be around tomorrow. Beatgr 23:10, 25 July 2007 (UTC) My break is over and I will return on a periodic basis. Beatgr 03:05, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work on the Space Launch System page

The article desperately needed the information you added, so as a rocketry enthusiast and habitual editor of the page, thank you. Boundarylayer (talk) 03:19, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

I have noted an increase in Vandalism to Wikipedia entries. In one instance, due to repeated issues from the same individual, I submitted the incident information to his ISP and enforcement authorities.

Deletion discussion about SpaceX Crew-3

Hello, Beatgr, and welcome to Wikipedia. I edit here too, under the username Alexandermcnabb, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, SpaceX Crew-3, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SpaceX Crew-3.

You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not ballot-polls. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Alexandermcnabb}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Your draft article, Draft:Shooting Star (spacecraft)

Hello, Beatgr. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Shooting Star".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Michael Collins was an American astronaut who flew the Apollo 11 command module Columbia around the Moon in 1969 while his crewmates, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, made the first crewed landing on the surface. He was selected as part of NASA's third group of 14 astronauts in 1963 and flew in space twice.
