User talk:AMP'd

Welcome, AMP'd! Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions! You might like to check out our tutorial, a resource created especially for new users like yourself. You also may want to introduce yourself to the community at the new user log. I would suggest a look through our policies and guidelines. If you have any questions, you can ask me on my talk page, or at our questions forum. I hope very much you enjoy being here with us, and I wish you luck with your contributions.

Additional tips
Here are some extra tips to help you get around in Wikipedia:
 * If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
 * You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
 * You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
 * If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
 * If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.

Hi
Hi, welcome to wikipedia - if you need any help, feel free to ask. I've seen your user page - it looks good (better than mine...), but can I just say that, although it's OK on user pages, it's best not to use the =Level 1= headings - they're just to big, and the wikipedia manual of style suggests against it. It's better to use ==Level 2== headings and below. If you knew this, ignore me! Also, I'd like to congratulate you on seeming to get used to wikipedia so quickly - I hope you enjoy it here :) -- M  a  rtinp23  20:59, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

RE: N overclock
Citation please?

And what do you mean by "overclock"? I got the impression that "overclock" means that you overclock the processor... which you cannot do in flash. <font color="#002bb8">iamthebob (<font color="#002bb8">talk 05:19, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

And in fact, I have actually achieved transcendence nine times, and I didn't get any overclock... which was the original reason why I marked it as vandalism. Of course, if you have outside evidence I will gladly undo my edit... but for some reason I highly doubt it ;) <font color="#002bb8">iamthebob (<font color="#002bb8">talk 05:20, 5 December 2006 (UTC)


 * When you complete the first 6 (or 7, or something. about that) columns you get a speed slider on the configure page. See my screenshot here. Also, I'd personally rather not have that on the article page at all. Wikipedia shouldn't omit information, true, but Metanet don't want the secret revealed. — m  æ  strosync  talk &  contribs, 16:25, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Suggestions to other users
Re In the future, try to actually find an answer to the question, instead of directing a user to an article filled with medical terms he/she may not understand. I assume good faith, so I assume it was meant as a constructive suggestion. Unfortunately, it came across, to me at least, as a command, which is not a particularly polite way of doing things. Maybe in the future you could word your suggestions a little less ... aggressively (is that the right word?). Cheers JackofOz 03:20, 27 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi AMP'd, thanks for the message. This Wikipedia can sometimes be a tough business.  I've learned more than a few lessons the hard way too.  When someone else says something that's less than ideal, or just completely against the rules (no personal attacks; assume good faith; etc), it's very tempting and all too human to respond in kind.  The thing is, that brings us down to the same level, and we're then guilty of the same behaviour that we took exception to in the first place.  Your minor lapse was not a big issue in the scheme of things.  I'm sure you'll find chinks in my armour down the track.  Hopefully they'll be as minor as yours was.  Cheers.

High School Musical On Stage!
What consititutes a 'important' show? The UK entry clearly states 'one of the first UK production' - I know my schools is 'one of the first' because we have the scripts/music brand new. Obviously there must be several sets of these but we must be 'one of the first'. I notice nothing in the article is cited - how can anything on there be 'important'?-- Flutefluteflute Talk Contributions 17:37, 17 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Honestly, I'm not sure. My school had brand new scripts, but we weren't the first. I'll be removing all uncitable or unimportant information from that section. - AMP&#39;d 20:34, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Request for Clarification
Hey AMP'd,

I notice you mentioned me a short while back. In case your confused by my signature, I've dropped the pseudonym "Loomis" in favour of my true name, Lewis.

In any case, I noticed you apparently gagging yourself so as to not get into a squabble with Clio the Muse, lest you "go the way of Loomis".

I'm just curious as to how you meant that remark to be taken. I took it somewhat seriously, that you had something to say, but held back. Others seem to have taken it as a pure joke.

I can see it as being a sort of half-joke, in that you felt like saying something, but then figured "ah forget it. No point in wasting my time squabbling with Clio".

I'd really appreciate it if you'd clarify for me how that remark was meant to be taken, and if you indeed wanted to say something but held back, what it was you wanted to say.

I realize that I'm probably coming across as a bit silly here, but I'd really appreciate it if you indulged my curiousity.

Thanks!
