User talk:BeverlyCrusher

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

Here are some tips to help you get started:


 * Read the tutorial and learn how to edit a page.
 * Experiment in the sandbox.
 * Follow the Simplified Ruleset.
 * Try to edit from a neutral point of view.
 * Use talk pages to communicate with other editors.
 * Be bold in updating pages.
 * Eventually, read the Manual of Style and learn about the Five Pillars of Wikipedia.
 * And most importantly, have fun!

If you need any help, see the help pages and glossary, add a question to the help desk, or ask me on my talk page.

I hope you will enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian. Good luck! — Bcat

Bad Edits
I'd also like to welcome you, and i'm nuturing my optimism that your dedicated vigorous editing efforts can pay off. Nevertheless, most of the handful of your LoPbN-tree edits i have looked at are steps backward; you may not understand what you are doing. I'm not volunteering to help you get this squared away, but i'm asking you to get someone with experience working from WikiProject Red Link Recovery lists to help you sort it out, and reassure me that edits like your List of people by name: Pp-Pr one and your Bea-Bem one are going to be rare exceptions in the future. Things like this happen, and you shouldn't let it drive you off. No doubt you've got a good role here ahead of you. Thanks --Jerzy·t 04:37, 2005 July 22 (UTC)

Thanks for gently encouraging this poor mixed-up n00b
Names such as van Belkom do not belong on a B page because they actually start with v. I simply moved them. Relax. BeverlyCrusher 13:28, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * You're going to have to pay attention to benefit from encouragement.
 * It belongs also on B when people may look for it as if it starts with B, and if you think otherwise, you are messing with a list that you have no understanding of.
 * The fact of an entry on B is proof positive that some people look there.
 * The fact of an entry with Van instead of van makes it obvious some people will look on B, since Van can be a middle name.
 * You didn't move it (or create the corresponding rdr's); i know that because i did, about 6 hours after your deletions of needed information.
 * You need more guidance; don't find yrslf getting it on WP:RfC. --Jerzy·t 19:59, 2005 July 22 (UTC)
