Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello WikiCats, welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed nobody had said hi yet... Hi!

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

You might like some of these links and tips:

• some General guidance.
• Tutorial and the Manual of Style.
• Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
• Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~).
• Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board
• Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
• Use the Show preview button
• Provide an Edit summary
• Add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload
• Take a look at Consensus of standards
• Create a User page

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alf ^melmac 11:33, 2 December 2005 (UTC).

Surfers Paradise

Hi WikiCats. Thanks for the message on my talk page. I've commented on the discussion on the Surfers Paradise article. I would agree that the statement seems negative and out of place. As they say in the Wikipedia world, be bold, and feel free to edit what you don't think is appropriate. I strongly doubt that anyone will have any issue with the edit. There are only a small number of people working on the Gold Coast suburbs and main article. I am local, and felt that that qualified me to be somewhat of an 'expert' on the Gold Coast, or at least gave me the confidence to start editing my first wikipedia articles. Much of the material I have put together concerning the history of the suburbs I have found from public domain material online. --Randolph 22:07, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Added a little bit about post war families and holidays in Coolangatta. That area has quite a fascinating history being close to the border.--Dajuroka 06:18, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Commercial Link in Gold Coast

Hi WikiCats. Thanks for bringing up the removal of the commercial sites warning in Gold Coast Talk, I had wondered about that too. Please see what I have written there about E-CBD having a possible personal financial interest in the site (GoldCoastAustralia.com). Regards, Eno1 13:02, 5 January 2006 (UTC).

Hi WikiCats - Since you keep deleting the link to GoldCoastAustralia.com I'd really like to hear your justification for it, I'm still not convinced the link falls outsite Wikipedia guidelines, but if you think it does, I'd like to hear why on the discussion page for the article. Cheers E-CBD 02:08, 9 January 2006 (UTC)E-CBD

Thanks for the reply on my talk page Wikicats, sorry for jumping the gun there! Yes, go the locals indeed! I took some pics from the Q1 penthouse today and put one of them up on the site, I see you've been contributing a bit to the Q1 page, which is great... Cheers E-CBD 04:55, 10 January 2006 (UTC)E-CBD

Southport Spit, Queensland

Hi,

1. I did not delete the article, I only put a speedy delete tag on it, so you can still write the article and remove the tag.

2. The reason, why I put the tag there is that the article did not have any content and I had no way of knowing that you anyone was planning to continue writing it.

I have now removed the tag so you can finish writing the article.--Carabinieri 11:29, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks --WikiCats 11:31, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Sea World

The modifications that you made to the Sea World page made it into a mess for my browser. You can't judge everything azccording to what happens on your own browser. Wikipedia frowns on the use of multiple <br>s, and somebody would have eventually removed them, anyway, even if I had not done so.

I had not realised, when I added the photos, that there would be problems with some people's browers, because everything was okay on my browser. When I became aware of the problem, I decided to try to find a way out of it. As you will have noticed, I have included a special table so that there would be no further problems for anyone.

I was not impressed by the rudeness of your response to my deletion on your <br>s and that you did not give me the courtesy of allowing me to rectify the situation before you wrote your abusive message. I note that civility is a concept that would appear to be completely alien to you. This is in spite of the fact that Wikipedia urges civility towards others. Figaro 04:00, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the information on browsers and multiple line breaks. I agree with you on the issue of politeness. For my part, apologies. --WikiCats 10:57, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

View from Q1 pic

Hi Wikicats, love your work... I noticed that an image I had uploaded of the view from Q1 didn't have the correct licensing info so it had been removed from the system and you'd replaced the pic on the Gold Coast, Queensland page with one of yours. I hope you don't mind, but I've updated the licensing on my pic and I took the liberty of uploading it back up to the Gold Coast page. The one you had was pretty much identical, but the colours weren't quite as nice and you could see the glass in the foreground, whereas mine is a lot clearer... I think we'll need a new photo anyway once Circle on Cavill is finished, but for now, I thought we could go with Image:View-from-Q1-looking-north.jpg - let me know if that's not OK..

Hi mate

Noticed your work on Queensland-related artilces - I suggest you look at Category:Brisbane Lions players, Category:People from Queensland and take a look at WikiProject AFL. Cheers, Rogerthat ^Talk 03:59, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

no sweat

sorry about giving you a hard time at first, i had been being called a bigot by cetusdai for the past few days and was rather touchy about the article because of that. Granted, i egged them on but still. Sorry :) WookMuff 11:44, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Cures in psychiatry

I have supported my removal of "cures are not expected in psychiatry" on the article's talkpage. Of course there is no cure for the conditions you mentioned, but to generalise this to the whole of psychiatry is an overstatement.

Even if it were factually correct that psychiatry has no cures, we would need a WP:CITE for this to avoid the obvious problem of original research. JFW | T@lk 04:23, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Also, the statement that "psychiatry is the only branch of medicine in which cures are not expected" is false -- chronic, non-curable conditions are found in nearly all branches of medicine -- what's the cure for diabetes? Asthma? Lupus? Presbyopia? Psoriasis? Congestive Heart Failure? Scot ^→Talk 07:42, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
