Welcome from Redwolf24
Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. We as a community are glad to have you and thank you for creating a user account! Here are a few good links for newcomers:
 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style
 * Merging, redirecting, and renaming pages
 * If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Topical index.

Yes some of the links appear a bit boring at first, but they are VERY helpful if you ever take the time to read them.

Remember to place any articles you create into a category so we don't get orphans.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, please be sure to sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;) to produce your name and the current date, or three tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;) for just your name. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome.

I'm sorry that your intro to Wikipedia has been so rough (although some of the comments from your colleagues haven't helped all that much). Anyway, the VfD process lasts 5 days at the minimum so you've plenty of time. In fact, it usually lasts 7-10 days just because of the number of articles nominated each day adn the fact that humans have to close the debates. You have a large number of delete votes stacked up against you at present, so, once you think the article has reached a standard that might change minds, you might want to call by the voters talk pages with a polite request for them to revisit the debate. However, with so many webforums and the like out there, the bar is usually set considerably high for inclusion so do be warned! Good luck. -Splash 22:15, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I guess that is what makes BotF unique amongst forums and message boards. It is not topical, yet the discussions are often quite dramatic and informative.  Posters there are lawyers, engineers, teachers, writers, editors, you name it, and everyone contributes.  Anyway, I am more interested in writing there as practice, rather than as a showcase for BotF or The Fray in general.  Reasoned opinions are always welcome there, by the way, so if you happen to drop by there, find my nic and say hello (same nic).  There is a wiki thread ongoing right now, but it is more indicative of a Friday than of a typical BotF thread.--SwingLowSweetDeej 22:34, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
