Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, Sean Whitton, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; I hope you like the place and decide to stay. We're glad to have you in our community! Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Though we all make mistakes at some point, here is what Wikipedia is not, which might help you out. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages, add a question to the village pump, or ask me. The Community Portal can also be very useful.

Happy editing! Mysekurity(have you seen this?) 05:03, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]


Image:Silverdale school.JPG has been listed as a possible copyright violation

An image that you uploaded, Image:Silverdale school.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

I'm sorry, but I don't think that being from a school makes this image copyright free. JeremyA 04:20, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough - I'll wait for it to be deleted, and am going to remove the link to the page. Xyrael 21:43, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yo! greetings from a fellow IBDoF dude, and wikipedian. --Mr. Dude †@£К ║ Çøת†яĭβü†ĬŎИ 14:52, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, greetings! May I ask how you get those colours in your signature automatically? Do you just copy/paste? --Xyrael 15:06, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
No, ummm you can do any sort of formating you want using html (Xhtml works tooo I think). Just write out your signature how you wish in code, go to the preferences menu and under the feild that says nickname paste your code, then I belive you have to use raw signatures. That should work. --Mr. Dude †@£К ║ Çøת†яĭβü†ĬŎИ 15:12, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I'm pretty happy with what I've got, but it's good to know. --Xyrael 15:16, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New page patrol

I'll give up for a while - other things to do )involving a pub and beer, given that it's Friday night where I am!). Cheers Tonywalton  | Talk 17:08, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. See you around the network. --Xyrael 17:13, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CSD

Xyrael, you need to closely review the rules in WP:CSD. I found you misusing the delete tag twice within one hour without trying to track down your edits, just by accident:

  1. Nelson Burton which is an ad for sure, but certainly not empty, and
  2. El Rey, which may or may not pass under WP:CORP but is certainly not empty!

Go back and read the relevant provisions before click that delete button! I changed both to prod - feel free to expand the rationale there, esp. on El Rey which is not at all clear that it should be deleted. In other words, you can only request deletion if you believe it fails WP:CORP, and I suspect you have to clue, as I certainly do not, so either research it or withdraw the prod there. I don't mean to be mean, but we have to adhere to the rules here closely or else we start trampling on people's work and then WP is not fun. - the.crazy.russian τ ç ë 18:17, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the constructive criticism. I'll be more careful next time! --Xyrael 19:03, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It'll actually be best if you clarify on the El Rey talk page how and why El Rey fails to meet WP:CORP. An unsupported allegation of a WP:CORP violation is extremely unlikely to result in deletion because WP:CORP has very specific criteria. If and when you do do it, you should add "see talk page for rationale" to the prod message. Thanks - the.crazy.russian τ ç ë 19:14, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Another suggestion: it's a good idea to answer on the message-leaver's talk page - that way they're notified abt it. Some of us lead hectic wikilives :) and can't always track down answers to their questions. Thankss again for your work fighting trash on WP. - the.crazy.russian τ ç ë 19:19, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think I've followed both of those guidelines. Thanks again for your assistance. --Xyrael 19:38, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mary Moss

Thanks for the suggestion to add sections. I divided the page into "Early Life", "Married Life", and "Later Life".

Neelix 18:46, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I saw the section as particularly long and though it would be more readable with sections. --Xyrael 19:04, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vasilije Krestic

Thanks for prodding me to elaborate. But: don't you think you jumped in there and sponsored the page's deletion a little quickly? I do. I'd like you to remove the tag, as I understand it is bad form for me to do so.

Profnjm 16:28, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I'll go ahead and remove the tag, as you seem to have expanded on the information below on his importance. Good luck with finishing the article :) --Xyrael 16:45, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for the note...I'm fairly new at this, so it'll take me some time. I'll try to follow the guidelines as well as I can.

No problem - but it'd be great if you would sign your messages with ~~~~ so that we can see who left it! Please feel free to ask any more questions that you may have. Thanks. --Xyrael 21:40, 8 April 2006 (UTC) (note: this user was Dufrenne, for the record)[reply]

craters and geo-stub

Hi. i see youve recently added {{geo-stub}} to a load of stubs on craters. geo-stub is for places on earth. anything on other planets gets {{crater-stub}}. BL Lacertae - kiss the lizard 00:47, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Note - this was responded to on the user's talkpage. --Xyrael 10:29, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Welcome to Esperanza!

Welcome, Sean Whitton, to Esperanza, the Wikipedia member association! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is the StressUnit, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Possibles.

I encourage you to take an active voice in the running of Esperanza. We have a small government system, headed by our Administrator general, Celestianpower, and guided by the Advisory Committee comprised of JoanneB, FireFox and Titoxd. The next set of elections will be in April, and I would be glad to see you vote, or even consider running for a position.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact Celestianpower by email or talk page or the Esperanza talk page. Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, you may find help at an IRC Tutorial written by one of our members. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!

I thank you for the helpful information, and am looking forward to getting more involved. --Xyrael 16:13, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User Page

Don't know if you noticed, but the link on your user page to view your ibdof profile takes people to the forum index instead. --Mr. Dude †@£К ║ Çøת†яĭβü†ĬŎИ 17:08, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
