About new articles
It is very nice that you create new articles from the open tasks. We need that very much, thank you! However, I wanted to tell you few words how to improve:
 * 1) First, don't sign your articles with your name. Signatures are used on talk pages or in voting (like WP:VfD).
 * 2) Don't create articles that just say "you'll find information here." Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, so that means that basic information should be here, not just a collection of links. You could read about it more on Stub.

I hope you'll take a look at my suggestions and continue the much need work! Don't get upset, I am just trying to help, ok? I know that you are pretty new and Wiki so so huuuge that it becomes scary. Renata3 15:11, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I have to second the clause of signing articles, I noticed you did once in Google Desktop, I removed it, you then returned to add it again, and then someone else removed it a second time. If people really want to see what you edited, they can click on the history, where all of your changes are stored. For more details, go here: Sign your posts on talk pages. Happy editing.

Template:Editors
Editors has been nominated for deleteion (not by me), look WP:TFD to see and comment on the discussion. It might be a good idea if you created Template talk:Editors to document the intended use and purpose for this template. DES (talk) 18:22, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Patron Saints
Hi. I don't think that your additions to articles of a Patron Saint box is terribly appropriate or going to be welcomed by many people. There's a (incomplete) list at Patron saints and, as this article states, even most Christians don't really accept the concept, let alone non-Christians. If people want to find out who the patron saint for a particular thing is they'll probably go there. This page needs quite a bit of work as it's currently a bit of a mess, so I'd suggest that you work there and perhaps use it to create a List of patron saints, which would be a useful addition to Wikipedia (see List of saints). Also, you need to be a bit more careful with the links for your patron saints. For example, on the archaeology page you linked to Damascus (the place) not Pope Damasus I! --G Rutter 14:17, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for getting in touch. However, I disagree with you, and I think adding a box with parton saints to particular articles is good. Wikipedia is meant to be an encyclopedia - if you imagine printed encyclopedias, they would display related information like that. Of course, I can also add to the patron saints list, but I think that what I have done is good, and in no way bad.

Patron saint
Hi, I don't know if you've added more patron saints, but if you have, maybe it would be nice to make it into a template.

Yours sincerely, Shinobu 06:59, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I'll consider it.

I removed the patron saints table, which I believe you added, from Animal. I think the matter is too obscure and not really relevant to that article, although I encourage you to list them all at something like List of patron saints. If you disagree or have any other concerns, please bring them up at Talk:Animal. &mdash; Knowledge Seeker &#2470; 22:18, September 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * I removed the table from Accountancy, Apprenticeship, Advertising, and Actor as well. &mdash; Knowledge Seeker &#2470; 22:26, September 12, 2005 (UTC)


 * At first I thought it was quite a good idea when I saw the box at Apprenticeship but actually thinking about it, maybe not. Some people might not be too keen on religious grounds, and I disagree with your comment above that print encyclopaedias would have that kind of extra information. That kind of "did you know?" box might be better in a magazine or children's encyclopaedia IMHO. It's a tricky question, though: perhaps you could start a survey and see what others think.

I'm not a religious person, but I actually kind of liked the idea. I don't see how anyone could be offended by the notion that someone is considered &lt;enter profession here&gt;'s patron saint either. Shinobu 19:00, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

QWERTY.jpg
It really wasn't too bright to save this in the lossy JPEG image format with an IJG "quality" setting of 38 (!), which made the image messy. I've semi-cleaned this up at QWERTY.png ; if you've saved the orginal lossless source, then you should theoretically be able to do even better AnonMoos 16:36, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I've redrawn the aforementioned image (New: Image:Qwerty.svg) and listed the original(s) for deletion. Hope this is OK. Mysid ( talk ) 13:12, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
