Wicked Website
Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. See the existing article Wicked (musical). NawlinWiki 01:11, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Melinda Doolitle (sic)
I replaced the text on your page (with the misspelled surname: there are two t's, not one) with a redirect to the Melinda Doolittle page that was created on February 16, 2007.--Proofreader J-Man 03:53, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

User Name:Meldshal42
Hello! User Name:Meldshal42 is not the appropriate place to post information about yourself, because it is in the part of Wikipedia where encyclopaedic articles are written. A "userpage" at User:, however, is available for personal information about yourself. When adding personal information please remember that Wikipedia is not MySpace. Your userpage is for anything that is compatible with the Wikipedia project. It is a mistake to think of it as a homepage: Wikipedia is not a blog, webspace provider, or social networking site. Please see Introduction and User page for more information. Thanks -- Suicidalhamster 17:14, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Signing Articles
In an article you recently created, Danny Rutigliano, you signed it. Signing is for talk and discussion pages, not encyclopedia articles. Please realize that people looking for who wrote it can easily look at the "history" tab. Thanks. — Pious7Talk Contribs 20:22, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Regarding edits to Josh Tower
Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, Meldshal42! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule \bexample\.com, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links policy for more information. If the link was to an image, please read Wikipedia's image tutorial on how to use a more appropriate method to insert the image into an article. If your link was intended to promote a site you own, are affiliated with, or will make money from inclusion in Wikipedia, please note that inserting spam into Wikipedia is against policy. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! Shadowbot 21:43, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Swimming
Hi Meldshal42,

I am trying to start the Swimming Wikiproject. I got this idea when I noticed that the Phelps page did not have a picture, even when it was a featured article on the main page, and when he broke the world record. Swimming/WaterSports needs a hub of workers to help with swimming related articles. The project would include long and short course, along with water ballet, syncro, diving, water polo, open water and the players of those sports. It's all up for discussion. If you are interested, please add your name here. See you around the pool, --wpktsfs 04:24, 8 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Great News! WikiProject Swimming is now up and running. Your name has been added to the members list, since you noted your interest on the discussion page! If you have any questions, please contact me on my talk page, or the project talk page. For starters, my first goal is to get on as many swimming related talk pages as possible. Please help get this new project off to a great start! Regards, wpktsfs 22:50, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Mainspace
I really have no idea what your problem with me is, but please refrain from creating articles like "The Wikipedian Rebellion" in the article namespace. Pages like that are more suited for userspace, so I've moved it to User:Meldshal42/The Wikipedian Rebellion. Shadow1 (talk) 22:46, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Please do not make personal attacks. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you. ŞůṜīΣĻ ¹98¹ Speak 22:47, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you both for your advice.Meldshal42 22:19, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Overwikification
Please don't add links to non-notable terms in various articles such as your overwikification of the Ryan Malgarini article. Words such as provider, extra, or funeral don't need to be linked in his article. Additionally, by adding his age, in which you also linked the word "age" and the number "14", in the manner that you did, someone would have to come along every year on his birthday and change the age. If you would like to add an infobox to the article as well as the birth date and age template, then that would be fine since the template would change his age based on the current date. Dismas |(talk) 22:05, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice.Meldshal42 22:18, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Dear Ceranthor,

Thank you for being a member of WikiProject Swimming. For all of you that have helped in our first week, thank you so much. This has been a very hard week for us in the States, with the Virginia Tech event. This project has been a way for me to remove my mind from the terrible event. Thank you for helping out, and improving the project. Please keep the motivation going in the next few weeks, and try to recruit as many swimmers, divers, water dancers and polo players as you can. Be proud of your sport!

See you around the pool,

wpktsfs

Second account User:Whenshal42
Having two accounts, while not technically against policy, is almost always a bad idea. It confuses people, and it can lead them to believe that you intend to vandalize Wikipedia, even if you don't. I'd suggest sticking with one or the other. Veinor (talk to me) 00:30, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Unpleasant to talk to

 * Um, I saw that on a user's page, you were particularly nasty to them. Please act nicer to our newer members.  Thanks Meldshal42 20:56, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

You saw WHAT on a user page? What user are you referring to? Michael Hardy 20:59, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, it was quite a while ago. Please disregard it. Meldshal42 21:02, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Solar System userbox created
I made Template:User Solar System for the Solar System WikiProject based on your comments Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Solar System. Feel free to use it or improve it. — Pious7Talk Contribs 00:36, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Meldshal42
I have added a "" template to the article Meldshal42, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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. -- TREYWiki  21:30, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
 * And I moved it to Editor review/Meldshal42. You probably want to replace the part that says "STATEMENT" with a short summary of what you do here and that you (if you) want to be an admin. ST47 Talk 21:53, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Thnak you so much. Meldshal42 12:07, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar
Thank you so much for the barnstar! You have no idea how excited I am, as this is my first. I'm going to make an awards page for it, now. Thanks again, and happy Wikying! -  hmwith  talk   01:31, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It made my day. =) -  hmwith  talk   01:49, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Re:Question
For the background and text color? Anything will work, as long as the text color is significantly lighter/darker than the background color, so it's readable. Your userpage colors would work, too: Meldshal42 That makes Meldshal42

You can work with that, if you would like. I hope this helps, and let me know if you would like any more help. Happy Wikying! -  hmwith  talk   15:43, 19 May 2007 (UTC) Thanks. Meldshal42

Drama
Sorry for not responding right away, I have been giving this considerable thought. The main article, Drama is under the control of WikiProject Theater. I have decided that making a wikiproject just for drama would be overkill, however, you may want to look into a task force for drama. Great idea, but I just don't feel the subject area is big enough for a wikiproject at this time. --wpktsfs 02:56, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

The "F bomb"
Although it has nothing to do with you anyway, I believe this issue has already been resolved with a moderator during my sockpuppetry case. For a short period of time my account was used to vandalise certain articles. (D. BULL 11:21, 21 May 2007 (UTC))

That's ok (D. BULL 19:22, 24 May 2007 (UTC))

All right then...
So now I'm adopted by you :D Timpul 16:50, 26 May 2007 (UTC) Okay; but I won't be on from today until mon. Thanks, Meldshal42 12:30, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Shakespeare project collaboration
The Shakespeare Project has begun a collaboration to bring its main article, William Shakespeare, to FA status. If you wish to contribute, please review the to-do list on its talk page. Let's make this article an FA! Wrad 15:32, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind comments on my editor review. --wpktsfs 22:09, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar
Thank you so much for the barnstar! No, you were never annoying at ALL. I like helping. I promise, and I will still assist you with anything. Cheers! hmwith talk   19:50, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for you kind comments in my RfA. However, your comment must be moved to either "support", "oppose", or "neutral". Would you like me to move it to one of those for you, or would you like to do it yourself?  hmwith  talk   20:06, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Hooray for adoption
Thanks for adopting me. I look forward to learning a lot from you. Cheers. Eric Stoller 02:04, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, I added a little info about myself. Where is the place for me to ask you Wikipedia questions? Your talk page? Eric Stoller 01:15, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Please..
Do not change my user page! I am able to write about myself! :D Timpul 12:19, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Okay
Okay. So you've adopted me! Yay! Zelink546 14:49, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for my barnstar. You help me to get to where I am, and you help bring me back to my computer every day! -wpktsfs 20:17, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Nonsense of The Enterff Language
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on The Enterff Language, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because The Enterff Language provides no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting The Enterff Language, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate The Enterff Language itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 01:40, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

I rolled back your edits to User:Santorella89, because, well, the user isn't blocked. If you think he's a disruptive sock, then look at WP:SSP or WP:RFCU. --ST47 Talk 00:53, 10 June 2007 (UTC) Okay, but I'm pretty positive that he's using sockpuppetry. Meldshal42 12:16, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Meldshal; I have a question
Hi Meldshal. How do you give an award? Zelink546 14:01, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

It's complicated. If you want to give an award; for example; "The Running Man's Barnstar"; you'd have to write all of this out---{| style="border: 1px solid ; background-color: ;"
 * rowspan="2" valign="top" | [[Image:Barnstar-goldrun7.png|100px]]
 * rowspan="2" |
 * style="font-size: x-large; padding: 0; vertical-align: bottom; height: 1.1em;" | The Running Man Barnstar
 * style="vertical-align: top; border-top: 1px solid gray;" |And then you would put the reason why you gave the award here; and add your signatureMeldshal42 14:06, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
