User talk:Toonstruck

Welcome!

Hello, Toonstruck, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

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:Where to ask a question, 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! --Merovingian (t) (c) 19:05, September 9, 2005 (UTC)

Reply to your comments on Talk:Dragon Age[edit]

Just to let you know that I've replied to your comments, on the Dragon Age talk page. I do hope you can understand what I have and have not done. --Petros471 16:47, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking a look. I won't reply again on the DA talk page unless I see any new need to; it's obvious that you see things differently from me so I don't see the point in trying to persuade you otherwise. As I said I can't force you to believe what I said, it just happens to be the truth that I'm not in any way attempting to copy SP, and don't have anything against the site etc.

On a related note you did succeed in leaving me a message on my personal talk page- however it is not (and is not meant to be) private. Anyone clicking on my username or going to User_talk:Petros471 can read it. The only way to contact me privately is by clicking on the 'email this user' link in the toolbox, whilst you are viewing my user page. The advantage of leaving a note on the user page (as I did above with you) is that it 'pings' the recipient with that orange box thing that appears letting them know they have a new message.

Also please could you sign all messages you leave on talk pages (not contributions on article pages) by typing 4 ~'s (~~~~) or by clicking on the signature button (second from right above the edit box). It makes seeing who wrote what, when, on talk pages a lot easier.

Think that's about it for now, feel free to reply on my talk page if you have any more comments, questions etc.

Cheers,

Only edits made by other people to your talk page (i.e. like what I'm doing on yours now, and what you just did on mine) show up with the orange notification. If you want to see what edits have been made to any other articles add them to your watchlist by clicking on the 'watch' tab near the top of the page on the right. This changes to 'unwatch' if you are already watching it. You can then view the most recent change to all your watched pages by clicking on 'my watchlist' at the top of the page next to your other user links. Hope that helps :)

You can read a load more about how wikipedia works by following the links via Help:Contents; but there's a lot of info there, so if you've got any other specific questions feel free to ask. --Petros471 23:04, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Dragonshard[edit]

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. ~~You added an external link (for the second time), claiming to have been endorsed by an editorial discussion when no apparent discussion took place.~~ Ham Pastrami (talk) 11:24, 28 February 2008 (UTC) I have been informed that the discussion you alluded to was this one here: Talk:Baldur's_Gate#Sorcerer's_Place_link. If so, there was not a consensus to allow adding the link at your discretion, nor was the discussion in reference to the Dragonshard article, nor was there any discussion at the Dragonshard talk page. Please do not re-add the link until there is a clear consensus in favor of doing so. Ham Pastrami (talk) 11:32, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
