User talk:OhSusanne

Welcome OhSusanne!
I saw your edit on User talk:Wizardry Dragon. I also saw you edit on User talk:Ilena. You have no reason to feel concerned. What you did was perfectly fine. The problem started before you got here. Everyone has been silent because nobody wants to "add any more fuel to the fire". Your comments, while honorably and appropriately placed in defense of Ilena, may have been seen by others as an attack on them, basically igniting the whole fire again. The reason for blocking for a week is more or less a "time out" for everyone to do some soul searching and "heal". So not only did Ilena need to have some time, so did others. Your comments may have inadvertantly triggered some bad feelings, but it's all good. All the people invloved are adults and realize that you meant well. With your way with words and insight, you are going to love it here. I started watching WP in April of last year and didn't make my first edit until June or so. Since then I have made several good friends and learned more than I have taught. I see that you are looking for an adopter. If there is anything I can do, let me know. I look forward to seeing your work! --Dematt 03:21, 27 January 2007 (UTC)


 * No problem! I suggest you start by reading something you are interested in (I see you already have some under your belt).  When you find something that looks like it needs to be changed, go ahead and do it - make sure and make a short note on the "edit summary" below the text box.  Then go to the talk page and write a short note about the change and move on.  Don't forget to click on the tab at the top of the page that says to "watch" this article.  If someone does not like your change, they may change it back or they may ask you a question.  Then it is up to you to justify your chnage.  Don't worry if you are not always right, I'm mostly wrong, but by the time we go back and forth a few times, it ends up being better than what we both started with.  Good Luck and Have Fun!! --Dematt 23:10, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Adoption
Hey, that is indeed a coincidence! Do you practice in St. Louis? Well, welcome to wikipedia. If you're a stickler for grammar, you'll find that the law articles are in dire need of some grammatical TLC. Be bold about making edits. You might find some bullies, but most wikipedians will be willing to help you out. You'll get the hang of it in a month or so. I'm moving to temporary housing for a new job, so I won't be on the internet very often for about a month. I'll log on as often as possible and help you out as much as I can. Feel free to leave any questions for me on my talk page. -Taco325i 12:58, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
