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]
