Welcome!

Hello,, 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! By the way, please be sure to sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;) to produce your name and the current date, or three tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;) for just your name. If you have any questions, you can post to the help desk or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Shimgray 14:04, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Legend page
Goodness, you're conscientious... I never got round to reading this one until now :-)

That page is intended more as an explanation of terms people use than as a set of instructions; if you look at the edit history for a reasonably busy page it'll be filled with "+cat", "rv", "copy", "rm link", "-dup" and so on, which can be rather confusing. Hence the need for a bit of a glossary.

As for the specific one you mention... yeah. That is rather odd. I assume it's just a rather odd example; as far as I can tell, it's saying -
 * the text "Bill clinton" would have to be fixed by making the "c" uppercase, so we note "ucase" in the summary alongside the text we've fixed;
 * the text "BILL CLINTON" would have to be fixed by making most of it lowercase, so we note "lcase" in the summary alongside the text we've fixed.

The problem is, of course, that no-one in their right minds would actually do this, rather than just writing "clinton, fixed caps" or something. I think I'll quietly remove that example just now, lest it confuse anyone else in the future...

Hope the rest of it made sense. It's not particularly critical to read all the help files; they're more there in case you get stuck on something; do feel free to dive into editing whenever you feel like it. Drop me a note if you need a hand with anything. Shimgray 02:56, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Welcome and remember that a nomination of an article to AfD is by itself a vote for deletion, so no need for another comment: Delete per nom. Best for future nominations. -feydey 12:37, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Joining
Since you seemed to be interested in Tolkien in general, would you like to join WikiProject Middle-earth? — Mir  l   e   n   22:41, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

A welcome from Mirlen
— Mir  l   e   n   14:38, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

P.S. You don't have to devote all your time to this WikiProject, just as long as you contribute in the discussions a bit (we like to hear opinions from our members), and improve Tolkien articles in general. Oh, and there's currently two proposals going on on the talk page, so it'd be appreciated if we could here some feedback from our participants :). Also, the Things to do page is our most active page, and is really the heart of the WikiProject. — Mir   l   e   n   14:50, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Happy Easter! (or whatever else it is that you celebrate)
Happy Easter &mdash; or whatever else you celebrate! Even if you don't really celebrate anything this weekend (like me), you should still try the delicious chocolate! — Mir  l   e   n   19:09, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Update
There is a poll/proposal concerning the renaming of our WikiProject. Please vote here to share your opinion! — Mir  l   e   n   19:33, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you should post your comment on the poll? :) -- Mir  l   e   n   19:50, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

The Lord of the Rings Peer Review
I have make extensive changes to our Lord of the Rings article in an attempt to work it up to Featured Article status. In order to find more suggestions I have listed it under Peer Review. Under the guidelines to nominations I am required to notify others of knowledge in the area to review it. I have decided that the best group for this would be our WikiProject. So I ask you all to look at the article and make any suggestions you can. Hopefully we will be voting this FA soon enough. Sorry Guy 00:51, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
