Welcome!

Hello, Seidenstud, Welcome to Wikipedia!
I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at Naming Conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and if you can't find your answer there, check the Village pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my New-Users' Talk Page.
Additional tips:
Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:
  • If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.
  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills, try the Sandbox.
  • Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
  • You might want to add yourself to the New User Log
  • If your first language isn't English, try Wikipedia:Contributing to articles outside your native language
Happy editing!

A short Esperanzial update

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, —Celestianpower háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

See

See WP:AIV for how to get a vandal blocked. =D --mboverload@ 08:25, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you put {{subst:test5}} on a page, it comes up with text that says a user is blocked. If you put it up without actually blocking a user (which I'm guessing you can't do yet) it makes things confusing. Just for your information. Cheers, and feel free to ask me questions on my talk page. Mak (talk) 20:43, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, if a vandal is continuing to vandalise after a test4 warning, you should go to WP:AIV and report their IP address or username, and an administrator will look into it, and possibly block them for a period. You don't necessarily have to leave another message on their talk page, since if the other warnings didn't work, yet another template warning won't do the trick either. Cheers, Mak (talk) 21:13, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, and also, usually warning templates are substituted with code, just preface it with subst: like so: {{subst:test}}. Mak (talk) 21:15, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

--Thanks for the notice. Will keep it in mind next time.

SLight reprieve

Kid just left a message on my talk, saying it was big sister playing up, on the user you just gave a T4 to 72.26.93.96

I'll keep an eye for now any more then any more I'll get it blocked.

satan and serpent

You reverted the Satan page, putting back in the assertion that the Tanakh uses the term "satan" to refer to the serpent in the Garden in Eden. Since the Tanakh itself doesn't use the term "satan" to refer to the serpent, that seems like a mistake. Was it intentional? If so, could you discuss your reasoning on the talk:satan page? Thanks.

Artlex.com

Hi. I've been coming across some of your reversions to Artlex.com and agree there has been spamming of this site. However, it is not quite that straightforward and sometimes it has been already cited in a legitimate earlier edit. Then the "spammer" has actually made a useful edit to the link by inserting an anchor to the URL which means a user goes directly to the definition, rather than the top of the page where the definition is. However, you have reverted to the previous edit, which actually removes the anchor, but keeps the URL as in Catalogue raisonné.

On another occasion the "spammer" corrected a spelling mistake on Deesis and in your reversion you inadvertently reinstated the spelling mistake.

Some of the artlex.com links are useful such as the one in Apollo Belvedere, which showed the sculpture with and without a fig leaf. Your reversion deleted this. I have reinstated it.

The edit made to Cy Twombly was an improvement with a more appropriate description, but you reverted it to the inferior description.

I suggest that where the artlex.com link has been used by a genuine editor it is kept, and if it is then amended usefully by the "spammer", we should keep that amendment.

However, when the "spammer" has just inserted the link themselves it should be reverted.

The user contributions are here. I have been through all of these up to the current time.

I see that you are doing a good job, but I thought you would like to have these points brought to your attention.

Apologies

I'm sorry about that - I won't let it happen again. Thanks for pointing it out. Best.--Lo2u 16:39, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup Templates

I noticed that you recently applied an improperly formatted cleanup template. I have fixed the template, but felt I should tell you that it needed to be replaced. You can find a list of properly formatted cleanup templates here. Please note that it is never appropriate to substitute a cleanup tag.

Thank you very much for your contributions to Wikipedia. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Alphachimp talk 23:09, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion discussion

Thanks for reporting for me

I was a bit too slow, it seems. I was trying to get the report for 67.49.28.88 in, but I had my hands rather full just catching all the vandalism! Again, thanks! BW52 08:59, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

US vs. UK punctuation

I really recommend against changes like you made at Jean-Paul Marat, where you moved periods, etc., inside quotation marks rather than outside. This is a US/UK punctuation difference. It previously followed UK/Commonwealth standards; you converted it to US standards. Wikipedia MoS generally has no preference between US and UK/Commonwealth English. Changing things from one to the other is usually pointless at best, and liable to provoke anger from the "other side" at worst. This is especially the case when the change is in this direction, because the UK/Commonwealth contributors often feel outnumbered and outgunned. - Jmabel | Talk 18:35, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. You would not believe the number of edit wars we were getting over this a couple of years ago. - Jmabel | Talk 19:58, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Anabolic steroid

Your recent edit to Anabolic steroid (diff) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles.

AOL

Take point on this one. I'm going over to post on WP:AN/I. Alphachimp talk 06:36, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's posted here. I hope you realize that you can just go off the photo page and the "what links here" section at the bottom. I have my firefox set to automatically refresh the page every 5 seconds, but I'm gonna hit the hay in a few minutes. Think you can take it? Alphachimp talk 06:41, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Crap. Well, it's not beyond people to clean up in the morning. Thanks for your hard work. Regards, Alphachimp talk 06:43, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Question and Suggestion

I noticed your photo of 168th Street (IND Eighth Avenue Line). You ever thought of joining WP:NYCS? We could use a couple of good people taking photos of train stations (my photos totally suck.) Alphachimp talk 06:46, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds awesome. Thanks for joining. If you do have a chance (if you ever commute through it), get a pic of George Washington Bridge Bus Terminal. The article seems sort of lacking. Alphachimp talk 06:54, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nikka Costa edit

I'm sorry if I'm addressing this to the wrong person, but I just recieved a message alerting me not to add an external link to a Nikka Costa fan site. If this message originated from you, I would just like to say that the site is not my own. I added the link because I found it by searching through the sites that are already listed as external links beneath the Nikka Costa entry, and I felt that this site was superior to at least one, if not two of the links given. I apologize if my addition does not meet with the standards or regulations of Wikipedia, but I feel that the link I added was of substantial interest and deserved to be included. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.210.133.10 (talk • contribs)

Bus Terminal

I agree, it's absurdly hard to get a good angle from street level, or anything less than from within a building, for that matter. The same goes for the Port Authority bus terminal. Your photo looks really good, considering the difficulties associated with trying to capture that architecture from street level. It's sure better than the photo we had before (e.g. none). Of course, I'm not trying to stop you from taking a better photo, but that would be really hard from ground level.

As for the 175th St. station, the line infoboxes state the next station north or south on each line passing through the station. So, for 168th St, for example, the next station north would only be listed the A train, but the next station south would be listed for both the A and the C train. I know it might seem a little counterintuitive at first glance, but it allows you to follow the flow of a train line (conceivably by clicking on each station down the line.) I hope that clears things up. Thanks a lot for your great work! αChimp laudare 23:52, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Forgot to mention, nice photo at 175 St. too. αChimp laudare 23:53, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weird. I see what you're saying. Check out 14th Street (IND Eighth Avenue Line) and look South. West Fourth Street-Washington Square (New York City Subway) is a stop on the A B C D E F V, but none of them are listed at 14th St. Let's bring this matter up at WP:NYCS. I'm sure Larry V. has an opinion on this. αChimp laudare 00:10, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
