Welcome to Wikipedia!!!

Hello Expertfp1! Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. If you decide that you need help, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Please remember to sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. You may also push the signature button located above the edit window. Finally, please do your best to always fill in the edit summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. Below are some recommended guidelines to facilitate your involvement.

Edit Summary Request

I have noted that you edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky or even vandalizing. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! -- Kukini 00:48, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Help request

I am writing my first page on Wikipedia, and am having trouble locating a pic where I want it on the page. Specifically, I wish to move the picture "bocksbeutels.jpg" to the right margin next to the viniculture entry.

Can you assist?

Thanks! --NDM 04:57, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, it'd be easier to do this if I could see the page. But, typically, you can change an image's alignment by adding information in the tag. So you would say, [[Image:EXAMPLE.jpg|right|thumb|150px|CAPTION GOES HERE]]. Does that help? -- Merope ^Talk 05:20, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

I got it! Thanks!! --NDM 05:30, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Great! I did some clean-up of the article, formatting it per the Manual of Style. Let me know if you need anything else! Oh, and I wanted to remind you that when you leave messages on talk pages, be sure to add ~~~~ at the end of your post; this will automatically insert your signature and the time. Thanks! -- Merope ^Talk 05:32, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

I need to move the first line on my article "eltmann" that says "table adapted..." to a location immediately under the table on the right margin.....right beneath the mayor's name. This is an attribution footnote for this table.

As this is my first page, I would appreciate any help.

Thanks!--NDM 18:25, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Done. Just incorporate it into the table itself. --  Netsnipe  ►  19:30, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello. I tried to add it in at the bottom but this seemed to just break the table. As its from another Wikipedia anyway, I'm not sure it's that important to say it came from de:. — Gary Kirk // talk! 19:34, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks to all who helped. I think this article looks great!--NDM 07:55, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Your message

Hello, Expertfp1!' The best way to leave me a message is to click this which will enable you to create a new section on my talk page, so I'll see it more easily. If you need more help, try the IRC channels or if you can't, ask at the help desk as I'm going offline now. — Gary Kirk // talk! 20:12, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

References

You may want to convert the references listed at Eltmann to the Wikipedia:Footnotes format using <ref> tags and {{cite news}}/{{cite web}}. See my userpage for an example if you're still confused. --  Netsnipe  ►  05:41, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

User:Fluzwup

I reviewed the edit you complained about at WP:AIV, and it does not appear to be vandalism. It appears this user broke up your comments to respond to them individually, but did not delete any of your comments. By using a colon (:) at the beginning of each of his comments, he indented them and made it clear they were responses. The fact that he did not sign each separate comment was confusing, and I am leaving him a note to that effect. Please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions, and (belatedly) welcome to Wikipedia! --Ginkgo100 ^{talk · e@} 00:31, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

thanks

I hardly did anything to Eltmann. But that edit was part of a concerted effort to improve articles on German localities, which you are welcome to join. Agathoclea (talk) 21:37, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Obama article

A probation notice first:

Thank you for your contributions to the encyclopedia! In case you are not already aware, an article to which you have recently contributed, Talk:Barack Obama, is on article probation. A detailed description of the terms of article probation may be found at Talk:Barack Obama/Article probation. Also note that the terms of some article probations extend to related articles and their associated talk pages.

The above is a templated message. Please accept it as a routine friendly notice, not as a claim that there is any problem with your edits. Thank you. -- Wikidemon (talk) 11:08, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

And also a request. Please try not to use the talk page for proving points or complaining about other editors. Try listening. I've given you some good advice about the use of the talk page, how article headings work, etc. Your accusations about me in particular, and Wikipedia and other editors generally, are not going to go anywhere. Wikidemon (talk) 11:08, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

• This tit-for-tat warning[1] is not proper. Cut it out.Wikidemon (talk) 12:03, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I've rejected your WP:AN3 report. Please don't make edits like [2], per the comments above William M. Connolley (talk) 15:20, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

"Revert"

Before reporting "reverts" should know what a revert is, and what it is not. Your report to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring included multiple edits that were not even remotely reversions. Please review WP:REVERT before labeling edits as reversion. Thanks.

Re: Oksana Grigorieva

Despite the provided source, I'm not seeing any compelling reason to overturn the decision. Being in the tabloids certainly does not make someone notable. If you want to take it to DRV you can, but I'm not seeing a reason to keep the article. Wizardman 22:29, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Medal of Honor citations

I notice you are adding the medal of honor citations to boxes. Please stop doing that.--Kumioko (talk) 20:53, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

I am confused. It seems that the inclusion of the actual citation for the MOH is most appropriate on these pages. Or is your concern simply that the citations are being placed in boxes?

As an observation: the MOH pages show a bewildering diversity of formats; perhaps an effort should be made to standardize the formats of these articles? At the very least, I think that an image of the correct MOH should be present in an appropriate place in every MOH article. Your thoughts? NDM (talk) 10:21, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
