Welcome to the Wikipedia!
Hello, and Welcome to the Wikipedia, Muéro! 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 be mindful of striving for NPOV, 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, and Wikiquette; also, you can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes: &#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;.

Best of luck, Muéro, and most importantly, have fun! Ombudsman 20:39, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

The Strokes
Well done on your citation adds to the Strokes article. Jonathan F 02:15, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Justine Henin-Hardenne article
Hi! I started editing the article already, paying special attention to the phrases you mentioned. In any case, the article is lacking any citation that despite her petite stature, she is still able to compete, even dominate, the other women in the circuit. And being so, she is an exception to the generalization that possessing height (as brought about by the Williams sisters, Sharapova, Davenport, etc.) is the norm in the sport. So in a way, she is like Martina Hingis (although in her case, she relies more on tactics and guile)--what she lacks in height, she makes up for in speed, fitness and movement. Unfortunately, that commitment took a toll on her body--the injuries sustained over the last two years, not to mention the fact that almost always, she has to re-evaluate her playing schedule now, preferring the quality of her performances over the quantity of tournaments entered. What I am saying here is that I would love to see such an insight/section in her article (much like devoting to her playing style and how it influenced the game), which currently just deals with accounts of her yearly performances. But I am not sure how to present it. Hope you can help. Thanks! Joey80 07:34, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, in comparison to Amanda Coetzer, the power tennis was still developing during her time. Hingis was still the dominant player, while the Williams sisters are still novices in the tour--not to mention the fact that Seles, widely regarded as the first power tennis player, is almost always being beaten by the likes of Hingis. What sets Henin-Hardenne apart is not just her game but the current direction of women's tennis. Notably, when she ranking began to improve and when she won her first Grand Slam, the ones dominating were the Williams sisters, Davenport and Capriati. As a matter of fact, someone mentioned that she contributed partly in inspiring Hingis to come back. If a player her size can still play and win matches, maybe Hingis can too. In any case, I realized that most of the references from where I got these are comments made during matches and by show anchors. In any case, it's a good start looking at some tennis editorial websites:

For the last link, you can search for her name, as I recall there are lots of articles there discussing her size versus skill game. Joey80 06:00, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

D. Hasek
Thanks for helping out with this Hasek article...I came across it last night and it drove me crazy. He means good, but he just has way too much POV and lack of grasp of the English language to create an article on his favorite player. I came back to it today planning to work on it more, but I'll let you go with it for now so we don't edit conflict, thanks again! scsgoal31 20:27, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Nicklas Lidström
Hi, I just did the references for the article and added citeweb for the notes. They were all reverted with your edit. Howcome? --claes 17:19, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Nah, I don't get upset about things on Wikipedia. Sorry if I sounded a bit harsh. I added the same citation as you for the captain statement. --claes 18:06, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm curious why you keep deleting my mention of Listrom being named Captain. - --Ryan2x
 * Gotcha --Ryan2x

Devils page
Months Muero? Come on...it's not THAT bad. --Sportskido8 15:14 EST, August 25 2006

New Jersey Devils
I removed the part about McMullen "winning his second cup" in 2004. The image you provided shows his name on the cup for their win in 2000. I never disputed that. I doubt they put his name on the cup after he sold the team, but if you have proof, you're more than welcome to add it again. --Muéro 18:19, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * The paragraph in question was about the 2000 season, which is when McMullen sold the team, not the 2004 season (the Devils didn't even win a cup that year). – flamurai (t) 18:23, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Whoops, sorry. I somehow read a year wrong somewhere. --Muéro 18:28, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Christina Aguilera
Periods and punctuation marks should only be included inside double quotation marks if they are part of the original quotation (or song title). For example, we would write "Tilt Ya Head Back", not "Tilt Ya Head Back." See Manual_of_Style. Thanks. Extraordinary Machine 14:10, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Mike Ricci
Why did you erase the info box showing Mike Ricci was (first 10 games of '03-'04 season) Captain of the San Jose Sharks? GoodDay 21:36, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem, I was just curious about it. GoodDay 21:59, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

NHL Player Pics
I am changing them because now that training camp mugshots have been released, the old photos are now out of date, especially the ones showing players in jerseys of teams they are no longer associated with. Since the NHLPA and NHL haven't updated their site yet, the only sources I can use is the team's websites, which crop them differently. As long as they're hi-res and fill the box I used them, but for other teams such as the Thrashers and the Red Wings, who have released their images on their site but are not in a suitable resolution, I need to wait. --Stukov 02:31, 20 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Additionally, I think your problem is that your browser's cache needs to be refreshed. I've replaced the player photos with new ones, perhaps your browser is just reading the old ones in your cache. --Stukov 02:34, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Do not edit my talk again
If I need tips, I'll ask someone I respect. Jaskaramdeep 03:19, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Citation Tag
The cite tag on the neutral milk hotel article is a bit silly deary. A lot of the stuff in the article is just knowledge which gets picked up after a very long time studying the background of the band and elephant 6 / athens. Theres no place really where this can all be picked up, especially not the internet. The wiki page is probably the biggest collection of facts on the band apart from defgav's site. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.240.137.127 (talk) 18:44, 29 September, 2006 (UTC).

Wikicite

 * Thanks for the suggestion Muéro. I've put the version number under the help tab programmatically so it will be easy to check which version you have form now on. I've also put the latest version number on my user page so there is something to check against. Wikicite is pretty stable now. I don't anticipate any major changes unless someone points out a bug. If I get some spare time I may try to give it auto-update capability too. --Dave 09:29, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
