P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type &#126;&#126;&#126; (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (4 tildes).

Your list of contributions has just inspired me to do a search and tweaks. Best wishes from across the Ditch! Robin Patterson 01:30, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Hey Alphax...
Are you the same Alphax from AokH Town's Crier? If so, hello! Simfish 03:22, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Australia Naming Conventions
Don't know if you missed my note. you said you were agreeing with me, but cast your vote on the policy I'm against--ZayZayEM 12:57, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Murray River
You voted for Murray River, this week's Australian Collaboration of the week. Please come and help it become a featured-standard article. Thanks.

Kents Hill School
Hi Alphax. The article on Kents Hill School has been refactored and expanded, with additional work underway. I think that the fact it is one of the oldest co-ed schools in the nation sets a good case for notability. In any case, I was hoping you would revisit the issue and reconsider your vote. Thank you -- GRider\talk 19:57, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Anon welcome
Thanks for the tip about. I'm learning as much as I can, and I sometimes make mistakes. If you see me do something like that again, please let me know on my talk page. I appreciate your help. --Viriditas | Talk 05:09, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

VfD comment
Heya, what do you mean by "Don't feed the trolls" on Votes for deletion/National Independents Movement? --fvw *  05:42, 2004 Dec 22 (UTC)

Anons on VfD
I get very annoyed when I see anons on VfD - if you really want to keep us honest, you could become an admin, and you can't as an anon.

Strongly disagree. Admins keep you honest by authority, or alternatively by being shining beacons of virtue. I plan on doing it by subversion. :-) Seriously, though, if you don't like me being on VfD, just ignore what I say, or encourage others to ignore me. As far as content goes, there would be no difference between "SamTheAnon" (or whatever) and my current account. Stop intuitively distrusting anonymous contributions &mdash; or else just be diligent enough to read every input on the VfD votes you're interested in. I promise to always use edit summaries for anything; that should be distinguishing enough. Don't tell me little ol' me is overloading your watchlist.

If it helps: I don't plan on being on VfD very often. And I certainly won't pretend I can nominate articles or vote. 82.92.119.11 09:10, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

"Bandcruft"
Interetsing theory. I don't really see a common thread with these band vanity articles like I've seen with the B-Movie Bandit. Thankfully, that clown has become a non-issue. Personally, I think it's pure vanity from individual garage band mavens who discover the site and are overwhelmed with the idea of their little clique geting mentioned on an Internet-wide encyclopedia. Thinking of taking a brief wikivacation in the meantime. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and all that good stuff. - Lucky 6.9 17:53, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Needed cleanup on article Monochrom
Hi, you wrote in your vfd statement that a lot of Cleanup needs to be done on the Monochrom page - if you could give some pointers on what you think should be changed, I'd be glad to rework the site. --Verres 23:30, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Gmail
I think you said you had available invites. Thanks. Morris 15:25, Jan 3, 2005 (UTC)

Hallo! Can you please send me a gmail invite. Thank you. --Yemperor 13:45, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for the message. I've been on the wiki awhile (too long) and I usually use the welcome template for users and anons alike. I use the anon template mostly for anons whom, upon reviewing their edit history it seems they are dedicated to the project and understand how it works mostly.

The logic was that its better to have anons be anons if they just want to cause trouble or aren't going to be very productive as policy towards them is conducted differently. That and I usually do a few welcomes at a time and enjoy c+ping :)

Anyway I think you're right and plan to do that from now on. Thanks again >:) Arminius on Vacation 09:22, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

WP:RD
Just a quick note to say that I've replied to your question on the Reference Desk. Do you do much web design then? Smoddy | &epsilon;&iota;&pi;&epsilon;&tau;&epsilon; 20:10, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Tildes
Thanks for the message. I'm a bit surprised, though, because I (like most people I suppose) copied my template from that used by others, and just altered and added bits &mdash; not including the tildes. Is it a particular browser that causes the problem? Mel Etitis ( &Mu;&epsilon;&lambda; &Epsilon;&tau;&eta;&tau;&eta;&sigmaf; ) 09:18, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Image tags: thanks
Thanks for tagging image:pastelbox.gif. I didn't realize I needed to do that, I thought the licensing template did the whole thing for me. Dpbsmith (talk) 13:05, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Ahem
I think my edits are not nonsence. So I will stick by them. --Dermers Ladder 08:56, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Welcome to SGCommand!
Hi! Welcome to the SGCommand (Stargate) Wikicity! Looking forward to your contributions. --CocoaZen 05:17, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC) (prefer responses at Wikicities:User_talk:CocoaZen)


 * Yes, I've wondered about the image use as well, but since I don't really don't have a full understanding of the copyright issues involved and don't know where the images came from, I'm not changing them. (Personally, I prefer not using as many images anyway.  Unless they convey important information or add significantly to the site, large images just slow down the network.  But, I'm trying not to impose my personal preferences on others.)
 * That wikicity isn't very busy yet, so I noticed your change. --CocoaZen 07:13, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the welcome to wikipedia! And for the links regarding copyrights.  -- CocoaZen 22:15, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Yes, you're probably right about the templates. Some could be imported; others created. But remember, all the rules for Wikipedia don't apply to.

Also, when you get a chance, could you please respond to my questions about the category Stargate Atlantis? Thanks!

&#123;&#123;imagetools&#125;&#125;
I think it would be very helpful to have a set of tools for work with images. I hope enough other people agree with me to display the need for it. Thanks - Nrbelex (talk) 03:00, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Stargate Command
Hello, I seen your meesage about Image copyright (I am new at this) so I would like some help please User:SGCommand Thanks, but can you do the Image Copyright tags please since I have a lot going on at the minute please! by that I mean image copyright tag templatesUser:SGCommand

Yon Sig (Reply)
Well, there's really no consensus that this is bad (as indicated on the WP page) but I'll change it anyways. It's just that the sig looks really long in the "edit this page" view due to all of the HTML tags. But, I don't want to be a drag on our precious servers, and make the pages load even sloooower.
