User talk:Francisco Del Piero

Welcome to the Wikipedia
Welcome, newcomer!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:


 * First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
 * When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
 * Remember to use a neutral point of view!
 * If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:


 * Policy Library
 * Utilities
 * Cite your sources
 * Verifiability
 * Wikiquette
 * Civility
 * Conflict resolution
 * Brilliant prose
 * Pages needing attention
 * Peer review
 * Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
 * Village pump
 * Boilerplate text

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: &#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;.

Best of luck, and have fun!

Many thanks for the welcome

I have returned the friendliness by correcting a typo on your user page, which is probably a massive cheek from a newcomer... Your links prompted me to attend to a Page Needing Attention -  heck, this is going to be fun, for a pedantic nitpicker like me. Looking forward to catching up on your WMD stuff - Good luck. --Francisco Del Piero 14:54, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is something of a community of nitpickers. :) Also, after being here for a while, you get used to the idea that you're going to make typos (more than you would think!), and that others are going to fix them - newcomers or otherwise. Good luck, and happy editing! ClockworkTroll 15:48, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I've been nominated
I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say that I've been nominated for adminship. Since you've been unfortunate enough to have dealings with me, I thought you might want to see what was going on there: Requests for adminship/ClockworkTroll.

Many thanks, ClockworkTroll 07:50, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Admin vote
Thank you for supporting my nomination for adminhood. It means a great deal to me.

Thanks again, ClockworkTroll 14:41, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
