Welcome to the Wikipedia!
Hello, and Welcome to the Wikipedia, FrostyBytes! Thanks for the copy edit over on the 7 World Trade Center article. Hope you enjoy editing here and becoming a Wikipedian! Here are a few perfunctory tips to hasten your acculturation into the Wikipedia experience:


 * Take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial and Manual of Style.
 * When you have time, you can peruse The five pillars of Wikipedia, and assume good faith, but keep in mind the unique style you brought to the Wiki!
 * Always keep the notion of NPOV in mind, be respectful of others' POV, and remember your perspective on the meaning of neutrality is invaluable!
 * If you need any help, post your question at the Help Desk.
 * Explore, be bold in editing, and, above all else, have fun!

And some odds and ends: Boilerplate text, Brilliant prose, Cite your sources, Civility, Conflict resolution, How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Pages needing attention, Peer review, Policy Library, Utilities, Verifiability, Village pump, Wikiquette, and you can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes: &#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;.

Best of luck, FrostyBytes, and most importantly, have fun! Ombudsman 23:50, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:AtheismImplicitExplicit3.png
Thanks for uploading Image:AtheismImplicitExplicit3.png. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 22:06, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks for improving the image on atheism! I agree that the former version was quite ugly (and I made it), and am glad to see a more aesthetically-pleasing (and compact) depiction of the interacting dichotomies. -Silence 23:25, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

How is this true?
"Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you." -FrostyBytes 14:52, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism??

I contributed what I thought was a fact. That's not nonsense, or vandalism. People like you make websites like this horrible and not worth going to. I don't need the sandbox or you telling what I need or should do. Next time, think who you are talking to before you come out with holier than thou art. Your statements came out Rude....the same way mine did just now. Now you know how I felt when I got your message. -2-Bar Quack

I am sorry if I have offended you. However, your statement of "This is also the best Show ever on Adult Swim!" which you added to the Fullmetal Alchemist article is quite clearly not fact, it is an opinion.

While I too have enjoyed the show greatly, it is not proper to add one's own opinions to articles in Wikipedia. I take no offense to your reply, and would like to apologize for any perceived hostility on my part. -FrostyBytes 20:49, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Accepted and I'm sorry that you thought I wasn't being too much of a fan, but the fact is that during it's playing time, it had better numbers than all the other series until the new ATHF shows came back out. It's play time and numbers proved that it was the best at one time. But I could have used better way to describe it.

Play time and other related statistics do not generally indicate whether a show is "good" or "bad", as that is an entirely subjective judgement. However, if you were to have indicated the shows position as the top rated show on Adult Swim, then that would have been just fine. In fact, since you seem to be aware of the relevant statistics, why don't you add that info, or mention it's top ratings in the intro? That's just a friendly suggestion, feel free to act on it or ignore it as you please :) -FrostyBytes 20:13, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

PNG vs JPEG
I agree with most of your comment on my discussion page. However, when I made the template, I was also considering the fact that a PNG file can be edited with no loss of quality and does not require a patent license to use (as GIF does - does JPEG??). Also, PNG has the advantage over JPEG and BMP of optional transparency and PNG is better than BMP because it is compressed (losslessly of course). I will, for now, follow your suggestion about using Template:ShouldBePNG, but would you please post your concerns on the Template talk:ShouldBePNG page so others can discuss them as well? Thanks! --Anthony5429 01:07, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Non-expert comprehension of mathematics articles
Is it just me, or do a lot of mathematics articles need to be improved for readability by those with less experience with mathematics?

Or is it just the nature of mathematics, that even basic comprehension of complicated mathematical concepts require extensive familiarization with underlying concepts? -FrostyBytes 20:21, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, FrostyBytes! I was poking around the talk pages in the Math areas when I ran across your questions. You received a somewhat clumsy response indicating that the questions should be posted in a different forum, but when I checked over there, I couldn't find your questions. So I'm writing back to you here.


 * It's not just you. I have quite a lot of experience with mathematics, and I think many of the math articles are waaaay too technical.


 * The answer to your second question is "yes, that is the nature of mathematics, sort of". It's certainly true that certain basic math concepts must be thoroughly understood before one can learn much about more advanced mathematical topics. At the same time, mathematicians are often interested in a lot of gory details that should be left out of a Wikipedia article, if it's going to appeal to the general reader.

Anyway, I would like to push the existing math material in the direction of improved readability. I think the right way to do this is to identify some articles as being of general interest, and then working hard to make them more accessible. Other articles, which deal exclusively with more advanced concepts, probably must either include a lot of explanatory material, or else use very technical language that very few readers would understand.

If you're interested in improving the readability of math articles generally, please contact me. DavidCBryant 19:33, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Image:Linguistics_stub.svg
Thanks for redoing this! The one I made was just a quick trace... I don't think I linked it anywhere but you found it and replaced the PNGs. The PNG however is something like 8 times smaller, and is usually rendered very small. .. --Indolences 01:42, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, hadn't noticed the size difference. Just assumed that an SVG version would be smaller. But then again, the total difference isn't much at all, even if the proportional difference is vast.

Sorry, clicked the wrong button. I first, accidentally reverted it, and then I put it back to your version, since I made the issue. Sorry! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Downy (talk • contribs) 17:06, 12 March 2007 (UTC).

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Mifreely 150s.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Mifreely 150s.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 02:18, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
