User talk:Egofoo

Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for joining our community. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. First thing: be bold! Editors are always happy to correct or revert mistakes and discuss changes with which they disagree. Here are some links you might find useful:


 * The tutorial
 * How to edit a page
 * How to write a great article

And for more detailed information:


 * Help pages - the instruction manual, contains everything you could possibly want to know
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia - our principles, or how to get on with other editors
 * Manual of Style - how to format articles, where to place pictures, and other stylistic matters.

You can also check out the community portal, which has lots of ideas on how you can help Wikipedia.

All of this information can be daunting, but if you have a question and can't find the answer, you can always ask me on my talk page or go to Where to ask a question. One last thing: please sign your name when leaving messages for others on article and user talk pages using (~&#126;); this will automatically produce your name and the date. I hope you enjoy editing! --Sam Blanning (formerly Malthusian) (  T  |  C  |  A  ) 09:28, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Drawball
I had to remove this edit you made to Drawball:


 * But, if you just cant resist drawing and you do have a wireless internet connection, there is a simple way of getting more ink. If you use up all your ink while connected to your main wireless internet connection and want more ink, disconnect from your connection, and if you have other people that live by you with wireless internet connections, connect to theirs and you will receive a new IP address. Upon reciving this new IP address, you will be granted with a whole new cup of ink for your desposal :D. (Nick K. pwns you)

I'm afraid this is not encyclopedic in tone. For example, we should avoid constructions like "If you use up all your ink", preferring constructions like "If a user uses up all their ink"... and "Nick K. pwns you" isn't very encyclopedic either. ;) Moreover, we shouldn't encourage "cheating" on Drawball. Also, there are a few spelling errors, and I'd like to remind you that some care needs to be taken in editing an encyclopedia. I'm not mad at you, and I'd like to see you contribute more; I just needed to point out the way we do things here. :) - furrykef (Talk at me) 23:59, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
