Welcome to the Wikipedia

Welcome, Tawker!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:

First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
Remember to use a neutral point of view!
If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: ~~~~.

Best of luck, and have fun! WB 03:05, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks WB - the points are well taken.

Vandal note

Yeah, just passing by. Make sure you use {{subst:}} when leaving vandalism notes. -- WB 21:34, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In case people didn't guess - WB and I are friends and we have a few cracks at each other - WB likes to increase his vandalism count a lot! Tawker 21:41, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- He says that. -- WB 21:45, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kouta Hirano

I'm going to change all the redirects on the main Hellsing page to Kouta Hirano, his true name. The "Kohta Hirano" page should be redirecting to Kouta Hirano, not the other way around. His birth name is not "Kohta," this is an incorrect Romanization brought about by the English release of Hellsing. Virtually all Japanese Hirano releases use the "Kouta" spelling (e.g. the original Hellsing tankoubons, Hi-Tension, Angel Dust, HIANDLOW, Susume, etc.), along with Hirano himself when autographing things. If you'd like proof of this, I have pictures.

Furthermore, I modified the page with additional pertinent information to the mangaka and his history, not just nixing the redirect. So, please stop altering valid and factual corrections/additions to the Kouta Hirano page. Thank you.

P.S. In a minute, I'll be adding a headshot.

subst

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template.

My "vandalism"

I'm sorry... I was trying to remove some nasty pictures that were put in this article... But I did'nt knew how to revert changes. So I decided to delete mature content and then paste a "historical" version. And you caught me in the middle of this action... Sorry for the problem.

Oh. Giving "the last warning" to a person which was trying to repair something is a good metod to kill all new activity in wiki.... :( 194.63.135.8

No problem. Sorry if you took offense at the "warning" - it's a standard template. I've posted a welcome on your talk page. Tawker 22:26, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh.. I'm not feeling offended. I'm rather newbie in editing wikipedia so I didn't knew that. Thanks :)194.63.135.8

My account is Migatu. Thanks for everything Tawker :) Migatu 22:51, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Admin offer

Thank you for your note on my User page. Others have suggested that I become an admin, and offered to nominate me as well. I have considered it -- and may seek to become an admin in the future. However, my time on Wiki is increasingly limited and it would be quite selfish to become an admin simply for my own convenience. Again thank you -- and I will let you know if an RFA with my name on it pops up. Best wishes. WBardwin 22:28, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you remove my edit??

what was wrong with my edit?? what was POV about them??

I used the following sources for my edits, mostly with little edits:

Library of Congress - Country Study: Sri Lanka

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Sri_Lanka

are you saying that they are wrong??

I mean on this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Lanka

Excuse me?

No sooner than I archived a discussion page as per agreement among that page's contributors, you restored the page. Four days ago, I suggested we archive it before Infinite Crisis#5 comes out this week. Motion was seconded. We gave everybody time to see the suggestion. Not one person objected. On the assumption that you mistook that for vandalism, I will attempt it one more time.Wryspy 07:12, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Actually, I was impressed by how quickly the change was noticed, regardless of the error in interpretation. Keep on truckin'.Wryspy 07:21, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Warning templates

You threatened to block me for one bad edit in 24 hours which is the truth . You are not an administrator. Get a better handle on warning templates WP:RCP.--196.40.43.218 08:03, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CIVIL even with vandals maddening though they may be. I will have no more temper fits with any editor admin (which he is) or non admins.--196.40.43.218 08:15, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You didn't offend me. I was just reminding of WP:CIVIL which is always a good idea. Personally I have got a gripe with the dude I took out my frustration on but think I will take it up on his talk from now on. Btw saw an rfa candidate have a hard time over a joke new message box like yours but personally I think it was a good laugh when I opened yours. Take it easy man.-196.40.43.218 08:35, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
