Welcome!

Hello, Hroðulf, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!

Thank you for the kind welcome. I hope I can contribute something to make the encyclopaedia more informative or more interesting. I will certainly ask for help when I get stuck.--11:41, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Helpme

When I write my signature, with four tildes ~~~~, I see only the time, but not my username, nor a link to my talk page. What have I done wrong?--(or Hrothulf) 11:43, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This time I see my signature from preferences, but I didn't do anything differently. I will improve my sig, but I am still puzzled by intermittently seeing only the timestamp and not a sig.--11:46, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Make sure you are using 4, not 5 (which produces just the date). Also make sure your signature is normal; in Special:Preferences blank the "Signature:" box and untick "Raw signature".

{{helpme}} is for building the encyclopedia, not for personalising signatures.--Commander Keane 11:49, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, CK, and sorry. I think you solved my problem! I am not asking for help personalizing anything - I just wanted to make sure that my comments on discussion pages are not anonymous, so that editors can discuss improvements to the encyclopaedia with me. I had thought that the WP:Talk page link was standard, not personalised. I was wrong. I will personalise my sig in my own time! Thanks again.--Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (User talk:Hro%C3%B0ulf|Talk) 12:14, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Encyclopaedia discussions

Put your comments, advice and complaints about my Wikipedia editing here. --Hroðulf

Hello. My understanding is that the Pisky page is a (very short) article page about pixies, with a link to another meaning of the word. Disambiguation pages are non-articles. A disambiguation page is something like Oo. So I'm removing the disambig template you added. Gimmetrow 22:13, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was doubtful but bold. I stand corrected. Do you think it is a 'stub'? --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 22:36, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're cool, mate, I appreciate you getting in there, rolling up the sleaves and really contributing to the conversation on this page. cairoi 14:15, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks cairoi. You too. I disagree with your strategy and intended outcome, but I appreciate your thoughtfulness and consideration, and your commitment to edit the article over a lengthy period (which I doubt you will see from me.) Best! --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 14:30, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Westminster Chapel

I think your new edit strikes just the right note.

I had originally thought that their withdrawal from the Congregational Union happened at the time of the merger with the Presbyterians (to become the United Reformed Church), but I see this did not happen until 1972. I'm fairly sure that Westminster Chapel had changed their allegiance well before Lloyd-Jines resigned the pastorate. – Agendum 22:56, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Agendum. Do you have access to good books about the chapel and about Lloyd-Jones? I stumbled on the chapel article when someone mentioned in Talk:Puritan that he has been called the last Puritan. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 08:25, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have several books by Lloyd-Jones (which cast a little light on his theological stance), but have also recently acquired a biography by his grandson, Christopher Catherwood, which gives a good overview of his ministry. He certainly was a great fan of the Puritans, and founder of the Puritan Conference. Because of other commitments it may be a few days before I can add more to the articles about Martyn Lloyd-Jones and Westminster Chapel, but I will try to do so soon. – Agendum 22:07, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re:username similarity

I created User:Hrodulf/disambuigation and linked to it from my userpage. You can do likewise, if you want. That should solve the problem.

As for the spelling 1)I didn't know how to make that letter and 2)now that you're using it I can't anyway because then it will be completely impossible to tell us apart. Hope that helps. --Hrodulf 03:12, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
