User:ToasterCoster

Yeah hi everyone, this is going to sound lame, because it is, but i accidentally misspelt my name toastercoster, when i had meant initially to pick the username Toaster_Coaster. Anyway months have passed, and i'm back, but not under this username anymore. I changed it to Toaster_Coaster on the Wikibook Summary subsite. If you are curious to see what i am now working on please go to Wiki Book Summary, and check out my summary of Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, by Jeanette Winterson. At the moment, it's still a work in progress, so it's just in my discussion page, but it'll be ready soon, so hopefully no will ever have to read that book ever again. :D

Okay, i know this is amateur hour, but i can't even post from my Toaster_Coaster username on this page from the Wikibooksummary page, apparently there's no user cross-over which is really weak! So you need to access wikibooksummary from somewhere on this site, or from google.

Greetings Retinas!!

This is my first time posting anything on Wikipedia. It's high time i contribute a tinsy piece of academia to our collective unconscious.

For those who care, I, as a source and contributor to Wikipedia, am a Psychology and English student at the University of Toronto (it be in Canada yo!). Alright, now that i've gotten the school cred out of the way, let's move on.

It is through Wikipedia that i hope to expose you all to a wide range of prominent and/or emergent theories, concepts by noteworthy theorist -- pretty much anything really. I hope you all enjoy the ride. Now to read the 5 pillars of Wikipedia :P Although, i must admit, there is something oddly perplexing about reading the rules of a site purported ungoverned by them :p But alas people, i'm doing it, and so should you. As clichéd as you know it is, "you have to work within the system to effectively subvert it for the beneficence of the masses" -- okay, so i know that exact quote, itself, doesn't actually exist anywhere, but the theme re-inscribes itself in ever freaggin' triumph narrative ever told...so imma give Wikipedia a read, and do you all a service -- the service of reciprocity. Let's give google a run for its money.

But, before we do, in the meantime, new wikipedians: save your work on your own computers just in case dumbass users decide to vandalize your work.

So, say "hey", before, or after making improvements to my articles by simply clicking the discussion tab at the upper hand side tab (second to the left) and then clicking new section on the upper left side tabs. The tabs don't stay the same people, they change once you click on them. Tricky and confusing if you ask me. But anyway, hopefully, i can someday be as helpful as figureskatingfan :) --ToasterCoster (talk) 01:54, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Welcome, USERNAME OF NEW WIKIPEDIA USER!

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using only four tildes in a row, i.e., ---> (~~~~), but don't put them in parenthesis like in this example which was necessary for html coding reasons. The four tildas will automatically produce your name and the date. You can also do this by clicking on the

icon. You may also think about creating an account, which will make it easier for you to track your own edits. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!

Here's another useful template you can post on someone's talk page which actually people, is essentially the discussion board. Basically, when you click on discussion, that person will later access it from their talk page option. When when you want to leave someone a message, click discussion, then click, new session to post, title your post, (or just indent it with a few colons if your adding another thought to your prematurely sent comment) and then you can add this little gem:

make sure to keep the 's on the end of your username once you insert it in the above coding :)
