User talk:Dawz

Welcome!
Hi, Dawz, Welcome  to Wikipedia! I hope you like this place &mdash; I sure do &mdash; and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the Five pillars of Wikipedia and simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Help and the FAQ, plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page or place  on your talk page and someone will be by to help you shortly. ---

Additional tips
Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!
 * If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
 * You can sign your name followed by a datestamp using four tildes (~). You should do this after all your posts on talk pages.
 * You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
 * If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
 * If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
 * If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

L.A.
Please discuss your changes, and please always use an edit summary. A common nickname of L.A. is indeed "City of Angels". -Will Beback 15:40, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Los Angeles, California, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. Lordkinbote 19:31, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Los Angeles, California
I attempted to demonstrate that this nickname shows misunderstanding of the original Spanish name, but my comments were consistently removed. I'm not the vandal. (unsigned comment by User:Dawz)


 * I suggest that you take up a discussion at the article's talk page as has been suggested above (you may want to have a look at WP:POINT as well). Also, it is customary to use edit summaries and to sign your posts.--Lordkinbote 19:59, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
