 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page
 * How to write a great article
 * Manual of Style

I laugh.
In the Satan article where you made the edit accompanied by "I removed the word 'alleged' from the section in Christianty's view of the Devil on the grounds that Christianity alleges everything in the section and highlighting one thing is...well...nuts."--I just have to say that was amusing.

Re: Wiki Grammar
It's actually part of the Manual of Style, which FAs are required to follow (a requirement that is often too-strictly enforced IMO, but this particular rule I don't mind). I believe the specific section you're looking for is WP:CONTRACTION. Cheers, Nikkimaria (talk) 18:37, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Ghost in the Shell: Stand alone Complex 2nd GIG
i removed the timeline due to trivia and in universe and no real reason to keep it. if you still think the article needs more work. please tell me and I'll see what i can do.Bread Ninja (talk) 16:35, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Basically it's about a terrrorist group called the individual eleven. Motoko has a connection with one of the members of the individual eleven and basically the story develops form there.Bread Ninja (talk) 02:30, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

not so sure if you're around. just letting you know i added story plot, fixed some of the setting and later i will fix the character sections aswell. have a look for yourself. I'll leave it up to you if you still want the in-universe tag up on the page. but i guess it needs a "additional sources" tag on it.Bread Ninja (talk) 08:39, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Adoption
Hello ,

I saw you were looking into adoption! I'd like to offer myself to help you out! Being an experienced editor, with several successful articles and many edits, I thought I would be a good choice! I love to work with new users; they have so much potential! I know how it feels to be a newbie in the ever so confusing Wikipedia. I'm working on a New Users program and I would be so happy to work with you. Before you accept, you might want to look over the adoption guidelines and understand:
 * Forever. Once experienced, an Adoptee will be able to graduate, though likely to stay in touch with their Adopter.


 * A social club. Though fun, Adoption is there to help users use and improve Wikipedia.


 * Just for the newest of users. It is also for users with limited experience who want to expand their involvement.

There are many benefits to adoption and I'm glad you'd like to get involved. If you're interested, please drop me a line! Thank you,
 * A shield. Adoptees remain solely responsible for their behavior.

 * As you've been offered adoption by iBen (and another suer below), I'll change the adoption template on your user page accordingly. Cheers - Draeco (talk) 22:23, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I would love to help out with any questions you have, but at the moment I'm fairly busy in RL so I'm not very active on wikipedia and may be a little dilatory with responses but don't hesitate to ask. Harland1 (t/c) 23:48, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 13:56, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Please consider participating in the deletion discussion for Category:Poetasters
Category:Poetasters has been nominated for deletion here. Last January, you participated in the previous deletion discussion (which resulted in a no-consensus keep), so you may have an interest in this one. Please consider participating. -- JohnWBarber (talk) 16:01, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Restoring challenged material
Please don't restore material to articles that has been challenged. WP:BURDEN places the onus upon the editor that wants the material included to provide a reliable source for it.&mdash;Kww(talk) 17:44, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
