User talk:B1157/Archive the first

Welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome your help to create new content, but your recent additions (such as Harris Morgan) are considered nonsense. Please refrain from creating nonsense articles. If you want to test things out, edit the sandbox instead. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

CSD Notice
A tag has been placed on Beltenbros, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template   to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

I had nothing to do with (Big Brother 8 (UK) Deletion) article, in any way whatsoever. You might want to check your facts.  FlowerpotmaN (t &middot; c) 23:55, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing.  FlowerpotmaN (t &middot; c) 00:11, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Latin -idium diminutive
Hi! The diminutive exists in a lot of words other than armadillidium, but that's about all I know about it (other than that it comes from the Greek -idion diminutive, as I mentioned on Talk:Diminutive). Pretty much all of the uses I've seen are in taxonomical names, so it may be that the suffix exists only in modern biological/taxonomical Latin, and not in Classical Latin.

Ephesus
Restored. BTW you could have done the same by hitting "undo" under my change in your watchlist after hitting "difference" (I think that's the right button). Anyway, didn't mean to upset you. Unless the article is a country specific one (like "Westminster" or "New York City" or something) whoever first gets to an article gets to choose their own spelling, which I think was American in this case. If you concur (not with American spelling but that someone American started the article! :) please revert your English spellings to American. I appreciate that this can be confusing sometimes. It is to me when I get into English-originated articles. Good luck! Student7 16:49, 28 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Because of the high professionalism of the article I never even thought to look to see that you were relatively new. Normally I can tell by the quality of the edit. I just assumed that you were an long-time editor. So I was a bit embarrassed myself! Anyway. glad that initial experience didn't drive you away! Student7 00:37, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Blanking your own talk page
Hi, Harris Morgan, welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you're enjoying your time here, and I can see you've already made some good contributions. If you hadn't already been welcomed, I've just given you a welcome message above - please use it to learn about our rules, policies and guidelines; and how to edit as best you can. It's about one of those guidelines that I'm here to talk to you about.

You recently removed either all or a lot of the content from your own talk page - please don't do this, it's considered bad etiquette. Messages are placed here for your attention, and it can be very useful for others to see these too. For instance, the welcome message above and the date stamp in it tell others that you've been welcomed recently, and that you have the welcome there to show you where to go. If you had any warnings placed on your page, it helps others to know that you have been warned about a certain thing before. Removing warnings (as opposed to just notices and miscellaneous messages) from your talk page is considered by many to be vandalism. Trust me, the resources I've given you in the 'Welcome!' section above are VERY useful - I wish I'd had them when I signed up, but I had to learn the hard way.

If your talk page feels like it's getting too long or cluttered, the established way to shorten it is by archiving your talk page, specifically the Move procedure. This also means that you have an archived history of messages in case you need to refer back to them at some point. Anyway, thanks for reading this long message, and hope to see you around some time. Thanks. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 18:36, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
