Leave me a message!

Welcome!

My god, you already have a goal of a thousand edits?!! :-D Be sure to use "show preview" often, or else its cheating ;-)

Anyway, be welcome, and if there is anything I can help you with you can leave me a message here.

Now I got it. I feel embarassed, you must think I'm dumb for not noticing the Show preview button right next to the Save page button. I'll use it from now on. Thanks for your support, I really like it here, Wikipedia is great, and my goal may be a little ambitious, but I like to set my sights high. Everyone seems so friendly here, I'm definately going to stay. --M.B. 04:38, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hahaha! Not at all dumb, most practiced editors dont use the preview button that often! :-) Although some editors (mostly sufferers from Editcountitis) make minor changes, save, then correct, save, then remove typos, save. Thus Editcount is a very, VERY variable score, depending on how meticulous you edit.

If the score seems off, I wouldnt know. You should ask User:Interiot, he made an editcount tool and is very knowledgabel on the topic.

Glad you like it here! Although sadly not everybody here is friendly and helpful, there's enough spirit to make & keep you addicted!

Oh, and also, try to make good use of the Edit summary. They help other users quickly to identify the nature of your edit. This makes it easier to keep track of the changes on any given page, ans in turn helps to keep track of the unconstructive acts of vandalism which also occur. Its considered good manners to always leave an edit summary for even the tiniest of edits. Greets, The Minist e r of War ^(Peace) 13:31, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Images and Commons

Hey there!

Noticed you put up some photos. Nice work! To save you some time, it might be a good idea to upload them on Commons immediately, rather than on the Pedia alone. The Commons is a WikiMedia site which collects pictures. This way, they can be used on the English Pedia, but also on other WikiMedia sites (for example, other language Pedias).

Dont forget to use categories on the pics to make them easier to find. For example, I already uploaded one of your pics on the Commons here. Notice the Category links on the bottom? I put it in Israel and the Negev. Now, if you look at the article on Negev, you can see a link at the bottom to the commons. If you click on it, your picture is now also visible! All thanks to the categories.

Sadly, you have to create a seperate login on the Commons site, but most people just use the same name on other WikiMedia sites. Let me know if you have any questions on this.

Oh, and also, could you check the license tag I put on the image? I'm not well versed in licenses and wasnt sure which one to use.

Re:Template

OK, thanks for noting that, chump! I'm a member of quitte a mass of Projects, the most important being WikiProject History, so I think that putting all those templates would be a little too overwhealming. Bog! --HolyRomanEmperor 12:29, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
