Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello Skapur, welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed nobody had said hi yet... Hi!

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

You might like some of these links and tips:

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Wikipedia Boot Camp, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, -- Alf melmac 23:14, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

Hi, your recent edit summaries do not reflect the actual changes that you're making to the articles. I would appreciate it if you ensure that they do. Thanks, JYolkowski // talk 23:05, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I will try harder to make sure I do. Skapur 23:07, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Stub and disambig

Hi Skapur - a very minor point, but disambiguation pages are never tagged as stubs - stub tags are only for articles. Theoretically you could use a {{listdev}} tag on them, but most people just leave them without a tag of any kind (BTW, I speedy-deleted the Henstridge disambig page... there's no point having a page like that until there are enough Henstridge articles to cause problems). Grutness...wha? 00:34, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification. It makes complete sense. Skapur 00:36, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion

Hi. Thanks for nominating articles for speedy deletion. In the future, please consider supplying a reason for your nominations, as it will make the reviewing administrator's job considerably easier. A list of predifined templates is available at Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Deletion templates. Thanks! - EurekaLott 05:21, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I was doing it for some of the others but although it seemed obvious to me that the articles should be deleted, as a novice I did not know the exact reason and I was hoping an administrator would be able to hone in on the reason with more accuracy Skapur 23:20, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WP Wikify

Hi there Skapur' I saw your part of the wikification drive (on your user page) and have wikified a few articles. I thought you might be interested in WikiProject Wikify which is a formal WikiProject based on the wikification drive. The idea is to promote the project more than we have previously, set out guidelines to follow when wikifying and provide help and support for contributors. At the moment we are still developing the project page and policies and would value your input and ideas. If you want to join just go to the project page and sign up, then let us know any ideas you have!

Hope to see you there, --Errant Tmorton166(Talk)(Review me) 11:03, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

POV tag

I'd appreciate your thoughts here. --uriah923(talk) 22:39, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Categories

Please note that as Category:United States Coast Guard is a sub-category of both Category:United States federal law enforcement agencies and Category:United States Department of Homeland Security, it is not necessary or desirable to add the latter two to every article you create about the USCG. Also, if you add [[Category:United States Coast Guard| ]] to the article, with a pipe followed by a space, it will add these articles to the top of the cat, not in alphabetical order, which is again not desirable. You don't need to add the pipe or the space. -- Necrothesp 20:09, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have put the following on Category:United States federal law enforcement agencies
This category is for the top level page of United States federal law enforcement agencies. You can find subsidiary pages in an agency level subcategory.
so that other people do not make the same mistake Skapur 21:34, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dorsal

Hi Skapur, Godd work on correcting Dorsal to Dorsum. Just be aware that where you find " dorsal fin " the correct replacement would be dorsal fin. I've fixed the few like this that I 'watch', but there may be lots of others. Maybe you are able to check if there are any others? GrahamBould 07:32, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Found eight articles with "dorsal fin" that I had converted to "dorsum (biology) fin" and now have changed to "dorsal fin" Skapur 22:52, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

adulterant tags

Hello, you recently added the linkless tag to adulterant, however there are many articles that link there, see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Whatlinkshere&target=Adulterant. You also added the wikify tag but it seems wikified just fine. Please be careful with what tags you add to an article. S Sepp 18:49, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Galantamine

Hi. I see you have been doing a lot of work cleaning up Wikipedia:Cleanup. Most of that is good and needed to be done. However, you seem to have removed Galantamine from the list, and moved the comments about what, exactly needs to be done to that article to that article's discussion page. I was wondering why? The article is a mess, I can't do much with it, and having it listed at Wikipedia:Cleanup seems like a good way to draw attention to it, hopefully attention from someone who can improve it. I know it's been on there a long time, but it seems that removing old entries that haven't been cleaned up just because they are old defeates the purpose of the cleanup page. So, again, why did you remove it? ONUnicorn 20:10, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was following instructions in Wikipedia:Cleanup#Oldest listings as this was the oldest listing. --- Skapur 21:13, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Boston Whaler

Could you please expand on why you dropped an {{advert}} on Boston Whaler? I started a section on talk:Boston Whaler.--J Clear 02:14, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

responded on talk page. --- Skapur 02:49, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

{{stub}}

Hi - I noticed you've been adding stubs to a lot of articles. This category has been deprecated in favor of more specific stubs. If possible, could you try to use those? Aelfthrytha 01:55, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
