Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello, 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  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:
 * some General guidance.
 * Tutorial and the Manual of Style.
 * Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
 * Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;).
 * Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board
 * Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
 * Use the Show preview button
 * Provide an Edit summary
 * Add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload
 * Take a look at Consensus of standards
 * Create a User page

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. 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 09:35, 10 October 2005 (UTC).

Hi.
I'm familiar with the system. I've made probably close to 50 changes to different documents before creating the screen name. Thanks. Allixpeeke 01:58, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

CLT Deletion
Hey. I am trying very hard to keep College Libertarians of Towson from being deleted. Perhaps you can help by expanding upon the existing entry to demonstrate its significance, and provide sources that comment positively AND negatively about the organization. We need a topic that is not "a" college organization, but "THE" specific college organization here. Additionally, I think it would help to keep original sources and research, as well as self-promotion for the organization's events off the page. I need your help to save the topic, and I think if you revise the article in the ways mentioned, as only you and very few other people can, then I think this topic can survive deletion. --Malecasta(talk) 04:45, 2005 Oct 15 (UTC)

Thanks...
Thank, but it wasn't worth the fight.

I moved the article to LPedia.org.

Conscription
I'm reverting your addition of the ext link to the conscription articles. Our ext links don't try to give a bibliography of every available site discussing a subject. Instead, we linke where there's a reason to do so. The most common reason is that a site provides more detailed factual information than we have in the Wikipedia article. Your links seem to me to be just your personal expression of opinion against conscription. If I'm missing some reason why the links should stay, please let me know. JamesMLane t c 16:22, 3 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your response. It's not just that the subject is addressed in other ext links, but that it's covered in the article itself: Conscription in the United States.  If you want to improve the presentation of the libertarian POV on the subject, the way to do it would be remove the reference to Ayn Rand and substitute a citation to an opinion by someone qualified to have one.  Rand has no credentials for addressing a  point of American constitutional law.  That passage is in there only because Silverback was fighting so hard for the anti-conscription POV and I simply ran out of energy for hassling every little point.

Declaration of Independence
How do you like the modern interpretation of the US Declaration of Independence article? --Carla Pehlke 15:00, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Please Help
There is an unholy mess in the Maryland article regarding a section entitled "cultural identity." Most of the editors agree that the state is a Northern one, and many facts have been posted and adequately cited to prove that fact. A Confederate sympathizer, however, is constantly going onto the article, removing cited information, and replacing it with unsourced "statistics" that steer Maryland into the Southern category. Please read the whole debate, weigh in, and please, PLEASE, help. History21

Marijuana Wiki
Hi there,

I see that you are a pro-Cannabis Wikipedian so I hope this will be of some interest to you.

I've started a Marijuana wiki (aka The Sticky Wiki) which I think you might be interested in. I'm hoping you can help me get started with this project. Whereas lots of articles about weed get speedy-deleted on Wikipedia, they would be totally cool over at MarijuanaWiki. But really I want the site to be more of a marijuana community than merely an encyclopedia.

To give you an example, I want to have city guides about where to score, find pot-friendly cafes, marijuana events, and what represents a good price in that city. Etc. (You can check out the featured article: "Toronto" to see what I mean). I also want to have grow diaries and marijuana blogs. All in all, basically more communal than encyclopedic.

I am in need of admins/moderators, and people experienced with MediaWiki to help build policy, categories, and templates, etc. If you'd be interested in helping me with this project, the URL is MarijuanaWiki

Thanks for your time and consideration. Hope to see you there!

Nirvana
Nirvana was not a post-hardcore punk band, and have never been classified as such. Even All Music Guide doesn't classify them as punk. Please do not add them to the category again without citing a specific (and noteworthy) source. -- ChrisB 04:23, 10 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I created that category specifically so I could place Nirvana in it. Yes, they have been classified as post-hardcore.  An audio-clip of a news media source from when Nirvana was just beginning to gain popularities labels them clearly as "post-hardcore."  This clip can be heard on the video Live! Tonight! Sold Out!!.


 * Granted, not all of their songs are post-hardcore. However, I find this to be irrelevant.


 * Sincerely,
 * Allixpeeke 06:53, 10 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia's guidelines are pretty clear: WP:V. Anything added must be cited through a verifiable and reputable source.  A random clip from LTSO does not meet that standard.  Furthermore, your assertion is entirely contradicted by a simple Google search, which results in no relevant hits for "post-hardcore punk" and nirvana.


 * But you should also not be creating Categories for the sake of one band. Particularly when that band is FAR more commonly associated with other specific genres.


 * Regardless, this genre doesn't exist. Same for post-hardcore.  They're just music journalist fill-in terms to find links between bands that don't otherwise share any.  When people can't figure out what bands go in a genre, it's usually a bad sign. -- ChrisB 07:36, 10 May 2006 (UTC)


 * It's usually a bad sign for the journalists, but not for the band.
 * When I did a Google-search on Nirvana and post-hardcore, I found this page which claims Nirvana was hardcore punk. I'm sure Cobain would appreciate the label, but I still think post-hardcore is more accurate, considering their stronger pop-sensibilities.
 * Do you think the Melvins would be more accurately defined as hardcore punk or post-hardcore?
 * Allixpeeke 15:55, 10 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Read that page you linked to. It doesn't say that Nirvana was hardcore punk or post-hardcore.  It says they carried a hardcore punk influence, which is an assertion I wouldn't have a problem with.  The whole paragraph is talking about how hardcore punk led to alternative rock, which is one of the main genres that Nirvana belongs in.


 * As for the Melvins, I can't judge. I haven't listened to their stuff.  But I see more people call them either hardcore punk or metal than anything else. -- ChrisB 02:27, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Page Blanking
On 9-May, you blanked 2004 Libertarian National Convention. Blanking pages is generally considered a bad idea. I've reverted it to the previous version. If this was the result of a broken edit, you may wish to make the correct edits. If you believe the redirect should be deleted, please follow the redirect portion of the deletion procedures. If you believe an article should be written instead of the redirect, please write a stub. If you have questions, please let me know. Thanks! -- JLaTondre 01:26, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Boston Tea Party
Howdy, I noticed that you and I seem to post in one or two articles dealing with progressive issues in political science/sociology. There's currently a debate beginning in Boston Tea Party as to whether the article should include the category. It meets definitions set in the articles Terrorism and Definition of terrorism, however, there are several self-proclaimed patriots who watch BTP who refuse to recognise the fact. The simple criteria for terrorism generally seem to be intimidation or destruction of property in order to change public policy or public opinion while a state of war has not yet been declared. Some users would rather use recent acts of terrorism as a yardstick, rather than using a firm definition, and hence lose their ability to discuss matters calmly. Would you be able to pop in to the Talk page and join in the discussion? Thanks much, samwaltz 05:39, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

The Picture of Me
You write:

"Please correct the copyright and licensing of this image. If it really is non-copyrighted, that is you release it fully for WP use, then you can use on your User Page. David Spalding (☎ ✉ ✍) 23:07, 6 January 2007 (UTC)"

What's WP use?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Alex_in_D.C._Super_Close-Up.jpg

Yours, Allixpeeke 01:50, 7 January 2007 (UTC)


 * The image is tagged as copyrighted, "Fair Use Rational: Not applicable." Read the licensing tag you've assigned to it. It reads

This work is a copyrighted publicity photograph. It is believed that the use of some such photographs to illustrate:

- the person(s), product, event, or subject in question - where the image is unrepeatable, i.e. a free image could not be created to replace it   - on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law.

WP:FUC specifically talks about fair use limitations of copyrighted, fair use, images on WP:

9. Fair use images may be used only in the article namespace. Used outside article space, they are not covered under the fair use doctrine. They should never be used on templates (including stub templates and navigation boxes) or on user pages. ... All other uses, even if legal under the fair use clauses of copyright law, should be avoided to keep the use of unfree images to a minimum. Exceptions can be made on a case-by-case basis if there is a broad consensus that doing so is necessary to the goal of creating a free encyclopedia (like the templates used as part of the Main Page).

So. you uploaded your image with a tag the prohibits use on any but the article namespace. ;) David Spalding ( ☎   ✉   ✍  ) 04:32, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Age category
Hello! If you are receiving this message, that means that your user page is in a specific year category. Per a recent user-category per deletion, all specific year categories are to be deleted. If you wish to continue using year categories, you have two options: If you wish, you may do both. Hopefully, this change in categorization will be quick and painless. Happy editing! --An automated message from MessedRobot 13:18, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

DC Meetup notice
Greetings. There is going to be a Washington DC Wikipedia meetup on next Saturday, July 21st at 5pm in DC. Since you are listed in Category:Wikipedians_in_Maryland, I thought I'd invite you to come. I'm sorry about the short notice for the meeting. Hopefully we'll do somewhat better in that regard next time. If you can't come but want to make sure that you are informed of future meetings be sure to list yourself under "but let me know about future events", and if you don't want to get any future direct notices \(like this one\), you can list yourself under "I'm not interested in attending any others either" on the DC meetup page.--Gmaxwell 00:26, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi. A user category that you are in has been proposed for deletion at User categories for discussion. You are welcome to comment. Cheers! bd2412 T 02:03, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Massive taggings, etc.
I noticed these edits you have made quite a while ago; one was reverted by another user, and I've just reverted the other one. Please note that these massive taggings are extremely uncontributive to Wikipedia - the tags are for specific unverifiable claims which could be disputed. In these cases, what you have massively tagged is merely a list of artists who covered a particular song, whereas 1. I couldn't see how it could be disputed, 2. The information needed is one or two clicks away in the linked articles. Even if it IS disputed and no information could be found on Wikipedia, it is far more convenient to use section tags such as Template:Unreferencedsection, and not tag every reference, which makes a tiresome job both for other editors and for you. That said, it is still not recommended to tag a claim which could so easily be verified - you could simply spend a little time finding the reference yourself and adding it into the article, instead of waiting for another user to come around and do it.

A friendly reminder - I notice you have an extremely long autobiography of yourself on your user page - which is not recommended and sometimes results in a deletion. User pages are for other users to get to know you and your interests and to improve your collaboration with other users, and you have done that pretty well, but it's really over-long and while sentences like "It is generally agreed by all persons that he is super-sexy" shows you have some sense of humor, they're not really relevant. Sections like goals in life, sex appeal and details of your childhood aren't really necessary, either.

Anyway, I respect your contributions, especially your long explanation of the edits you made to Punk ideologies. Another user disagreed and removed those sections again; I've added them back. See if you have any problem. Cheers. Aran|heru|nar 06:14, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

mistaken identity
Hello Alex, thank you for your message on my talk page, but I'm afraid you have me confused with somebody else - I'm not Dr. Presely. Thank you again for your message-- Cailil  talk 17:05, 26 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Ah, this is just me screwing up. I was adding the usual headers to the page when I made this edit.  I'm not sure why I added my sig, it was probably an attempt to force sinebot to put User:SPresely's sig on the page and before I knew about unsigned.  To clarify no I did not post SPresely's remarks.  If you look at my userpage you'll see that I'm actually a man, working in Ireland, also just BTW, I'm not a libertarian or anarchist.  Thank you for bringing this post to my attention it does give a misleading impression-- Cailil   talk 13:42, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

HUH?
I'm still a bit confused by this message. What's this about forcing the sinebot to put User:SPresley's sig somewhere?? I didn't post anything and my name is misspelled to boot.

Message to Alex: I will go over your changes to the Individualist Feminist pages in more detail later when I have more time. However, I wonder why you call "Liberty" mutualist? It wasn't. It was avowedly individualist. Just letting you know that I intend to change it.

DEFAULTSORT
Yo, I just reverted your edit to Karl Hess - you added "Hess, Karl" to each of the categories so that the article would be sorted properly, but this function is already accomplished by the code. It saves the trouble of correcting each one manually. Regards, Skomorokh  incite 22:51, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Mary J. Ruwart, M.D.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Mary J. Ruwart, M.D.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 05:34, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Invitation to Anarchism Taskforce
Yo Allix, if you're interested, Cast, Murderbike, myself and a few others have started an Anarchism taskforce to collaborate on anarchism-related articles; get a few up to GA status, create needed articles a la Dyer Lum, save worthy articles from deletion, and hopefully to have it serve as a central point to discuss what to do with all the splits from Anarchism over the years, to keep the clusterfuck of pov-warring in check, and to keep Talk:Anarchism free from all the usual meta-argumentation. Look forward to seeing you around, regards, Skomorokh  incite 01:17, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

I do not find linking to a store from wikipedia very tasteful. Seems more like something a spammer would do. As you have put a lot of effort and worked on the article, I thought it would be curteous of me to hear your side before I remove the link. Lord Metroid (talk) 03:14, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Shades of Pale
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Shades of Pale, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add  to the top of Shades of Pale. Hal Raglan (talk) 22:01, 26 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Just wanted to let you know that since you disagree with the deletion of the article, you only needed to remove the above noted tag from the article and explain your reasoning either in the Edit Summary or on the article's talk page. You have placed the wrong tag on the article (none is needed) and created a response (Keep) to an AFD that does not exist -- there is nothing on the current discussions page.  You might consider removing the tag and deleting Articles for deletion/Shades of Pale.  FYI, if you don't expand the article in such a way as to show any notability for this particular band, I probably will  create an AFD for the article.-Hal Raglan (talk) 03:35, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Twe.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 05:02, 29 December 2007 (UTC).

Orphaned non-free media (Image:ShadesOfPale.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:ShadesOfPale.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 19:54, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Anarchism.net
A tag has been placed on Anarchism.net requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. скоморохъ ѧ 20:46, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Your edit to Flying Spaghetti Monster
I'd really rather you didn't call the FSM logo names, especially unpronounceable ones like Spighethys. This isn't Uncyclopedia, where making fun of religious icons is permitted, and even encouraged. So let's not, especially since some believers might take it seriously and then hurt themselves while trying to pronounce it or something. May His noodly appendages guide you to wisdom.

 * A) Spaghethys's more pronouncible than Ichthys. The term is a combination of "spaghetti" and "Ichthys."


 * B) I don't know what "Uncyclopedia" is. I know what this is.


 * C) Elsewhere you say that people call it the pirate fish. No, they call the pirate fish a pirate fish.

Removal of category from your userpage
Hi. In enacting consensus from User categories for discussion, I have removed the category Category:Wikipedians interested in books from your userpage. It was determined in that deletion debate that this category should be depopulated of individuals, but kept as a parent category. If you wish to display a category reflecting your interest in books, please consider one of the specific sub-categories under its umbrella.

Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page.

To all members of the Anarchist Task Force - about improvement of the AI-Wiki-page
I have just joined the Anarchist Task Force, and I have had some problems with publishing of my Anarchist International Wikipedia page, see my sandbox http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Anna_Quist/Anarchist_International for the present version/proposal. This page needs improvements to reach Wiki-consensus, and this should be a somewhat collective project to avoid a "COI"-template. As I am new to editing here on Wikipedia I need help with the page, I hope for your cooperation with this improvement. As an introduction to this cooperation, feel free to read this note on my talk page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Anna_Quist#Message_to_all_anarchists_on_Wikipedia_-_Anarchy_is_cooperation_without_coercion.2Fdestruction.2Fdeletion_-_about_the_deletion_of_the_AI-Wiki-page_and_cooperation_to_achieve_an_updated_AI-page_with_general_Wiki-consent.

Any contribution, matter of fact criticism, to give input and advice, or even contribute to new sections, will be helpful, and is much appreciated. Please join in the project...
