A note about WP:AIV
Hi, Owlgorithm. I wanted to leave you a note about your recent report to WP:AIV (you reported ). I declined the report, because the editor behind the IP hasn't edited in nearly four days, which is insufficient recent activity to justify a block. Please remember that blocks are to prevent further damage to Wikipedia, and not a form of punishment. Toward that end, only vandals that are currently vandalizing and that have already been properly warned should be reported to AIV. Don't think that I'm upset with you, or anything of the sort. I'm just letting you know how you can help make anti-vandal work more efficient. Regards, Parsecboy (talk) 02:13, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Your Category:Tastes like chicken, while amusing, might be considered vandalism in some quarters, and has been reverted. Thanks for the laugh, tho. Cool username, too. (Do you run on spotted owls?) =]  TREKphiler   hit me ♠  21:05 & 21:06, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I took the name from Rice University and my course of study there. Thanks for the input about the category, too -- I'm glad it was at least good for a laugh, because I didn't expect it to be so useless to Wikipedia itself. Hopefully it won't take too long to fix :-) Owlgorithm (talk) 22:56, 17 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I admire your nerve. I've been tempted to leave cute stuff, but there are so many humorless trolls who won't even leave (half-serious!) gags in article footnotes....  TREKphiler   hit me ♠  00:03, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

The recent edit you made to Fried spider constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thanks.  Mattie TK  21:42, 17 July 2008 (UTC) Hi mate. I've stricken the warning from the record as the edit you made did not really constitute vandalism. However, it did introduce problems with POV which you should always aim to address in future edits. In case you have not already checked there is also a reply regarding you category on my talk page. Thanks again,  Mattie TK  22:08, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Welcome
You've got quite a few things on your talk page already, but no explicit Welcome. The links in the regular welcome template might be helpful to you, so I've put it below.

Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! - Enuja (talk) 02:36, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page
 * How to write a great article
 * Manual of Style

I noticed your edits to Alligator in the first place because I have it watched. Therefore, I also saw your recent edit. In the future, please try to avoid deleting any comments on talk pages. It is possible to archive old talk instead. I didn't revert your edit because, in this case, it really doesn't matter, but please keep this in mind in the future. - Enuja (talk) 03:11, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you for pointing this out. I am embarrassed that there are so many things I don't know! I am learning to contribute content, which is new for me because I have previously only made minor edits like spelling and grammar (although I didn't even mark them "minor" because I didn't know to...). Anyway, thank you for these hints and for the links to the tutorials, which I am going to read so I won't keep causing trouble. Thank you! Owlgorithm (talk) 18:32, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. Don't worry, you aren't causing trouble.  Every user was a new user once!  There really is a lot to learn about "how we do things" but, as long as you are trying to make the encyclopedia better (which you certainly appear to be doing), your contributions are very much appreciated.  It's a problem with this encylopedia that it seems like there is so much to learn before you start editing.  You're doing it the right way; start editing, and learn as you go!  - Enuja (talk) 23:36, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Night of Decadence


A tag has been placed on Night of Decadence requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the.
