Welcome! Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
 * Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
 * Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such unreasonable information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, and will result in your account being blocked.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;. Four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;) produces your name and the current date. Again, welcome! &mdash; Kf4bdy talk contribs
 * Thanks! I noticed there is a ton of great documentation on editing, NPOV, etc....very useful! -little otik 04:22, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

List of Bands from Oregon
Well, it has disappeared again. I wish I understood how this happened. If it is some sort of administrative decision, there must be a record of it somewhere, but I would think they would have tagged the article "Do not recreate" or whatever it is. As it stands there are about 20 articles that link there (including your page, which is why I decided to write to you), including Oregon, so it will continue to be recreated (and deleted, I assume). I guess we could just eliminate all the (now) redlinks, but it seems like a useful list to me. I don't know how this stuff works, so I am willing to defer to a higher authority. One of us might want to check in at the town pump and see if someone can answer our questions. Katr67 16:43, 5 July 2006 (UTC) P.S. Found this: Lists (stand-alone lists).

 * Wow, I just looked and you're right, the list was deleted. What bothers me is that usually when things are deleted, they're first nominated for deletion, so people can give input and come to some sort of mutual agreement about the entry. To be honest, though, I think it might be better to have a List of bands from Portland, Oregon than a List of bands from Oregon. Something to think about if we start up a list again. Thanks for the link to the Lists (stand-alone lists)...looks useful for future lists. I've been working on the List of Portlanders and needed some justification for paring it down a bit, because it's starting to look like a spammy, self-promotional entry. -little otik 19:07, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
