Welcome to the Wikipedia
Welcome, Tawker!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:
 * First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
 * When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
 * Remember to use a neutral point of view!
 * If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:
 * Policy Library
 * Utilities
 * Cite your sources
 * Verifiability
 * Wikiquette
 * Civility
 * Conflict resolution
 * Brilliant prose
 * Pages needing attention
 * Peer review
 * Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
 * Village pump
 * Boilerplate text

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: &#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;.

Best of luck, and have fun! WB 03:05, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks WB - the points are well taken.

 * You're welcome, but you might want to reply on my talk page instead. -- WB 04:28, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Vandal note
Yeah, just passing by. Make sure you use   when leaving vandalism notes. -- WB 21:34, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * In case people didn't guess - WB and I are friends and we have a few cracks at each other - WB likes to increase his vandalism count a lot! Tawker 21:41, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * He says that. -- WB 21:45, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Kouta Hirano
I'm going to change all the redirects on the main Hellsing page to Kouta Hirano, his true name. The "Kohta Hirano" page should be redirecting to Kouta Hirano, not the other way around. His birth name is not "Kohta," this is an incorrect Romanization brought about by the English release of Hellsing. Virtually all Japanese Hirano releases use the "Kouta" spelling (e.g. the original Hellsing tankoubons, Hi-Tension, Angel Dust, HIANDLOW, Susume, etc.), along with Hirano himself when autographing things. If you'd like proof of this, I have pictures.

Furthermore, I modified the page with additional pertinent information to the mangaka and his history, not just nixing the redirect. So, please stop altering valid and factual corrections/additions to the Kouta Hirano page. Thank you.

P.S. In a minute, I'll be adding a headshot.

subst
When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use &#123;&#123;subst:test&#125;&#125; instead of &#123;{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. --Zsinj 21:57, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

My "vandalism"
I'm sorry... I was trying to remove some nasty pictures that were put in this article... But I did'nt knew how to revert changes. So I decided to delete mature content and then paste a "historical" version. And you caught me in the middle of this action... Sorry for the problem.

Oh. Giving "the last warning" to a person which was trying to repair something is a good metod to kill all new activity in wiki.... :( 194.63.135.8
 * No problem. Sorry if you took offense at the "warning" - it's a standard template. I've posted a welcome on your talk page. Tawker 22:26, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh.. I'm not feeling offended. I'm rather newbie in editing wikipedia so I didn't knew that. Thanks :)194.63.135.8
 * My account is Migatu. Thanks for everything Tawker :) Migatu 22:51, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Admin offer
Thank you for your note on my User page. Others have suggested that I become an admin, and offered to nominate me as well. I have considered it -- and may seek to become an admin in the future. However, my time on Wiki is increasingly limited and it would be quite selfish to become an admin simply for my own convenience. Again thank you -- and I will let you know if an RFA with my name on it pops up. Best wishes. WBardwin 22:28, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Why did you remove my edit??
what was wrong with my edit?? what was POV about them??

I used the following sources for my edits, mostly with little edits:

Library of Congress - Country Study: Sri Lanka

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Sri_Lanka

are you saying that they are wrong??

I mean on this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Lanka

Excuse me?
No sooner than I archived a discussion page as per agreement among that page's contributors, you restored the page. Four days ago, I suggested we archive it before Infinite Crisis#5 comes out this week. Motion was seconded. We gave everybody time to see the suggestion. Not one person objected. On the assumption that you mistook that for vandalism, I will attempt it one more time.Wryspy 07:12, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

No problem. Actually, I was impressed by how quickly the change was noticed, regardless of the error in interpretation. Keep on truckin'.Wryspy 07:21, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Warning templates
You threatened to block me for one bad edit in 24 hours which is the truth. You are not an administrator. Get a better handle on warning templates WP:RCP.--196.40.43.218 08:03, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * WP:CIVIL even with vandals maddening though they may be. I will have no more temper fits with any editor admin (which he is) or non admins.--196.40.43.218 08:15, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * You didn't offend me. I was just reminding of WP:CIVIL which is always a good idea. Personally I have got a gripe with the dude I took out my frustration on but think I will take it up on his talk from now on. Btw saw an rfa candidate have a hard time over a joke new message box like yours but personally I think it was a good laugh when I opened yours. Take it easy man.-196.40.43.218 08:35, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for the user page revert! &mdash; Rebelguys2 talk 09:40, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

User:84.9.196.52
I saw you warned him on his talk page. The user has just vandalized Mohammad. I've reverted it. Mikkel 12:27, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Arrghh...
Your user page heading made me cry :( - Estel (talk) 13:55, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

WHOA!
Thanks for reverting my user page so quickly from vandalism. I didn't have a chance to revert it myself! You are obviously armed with some program, I assume. Thanks anyways! — Ian Manka Talk to me‼ 04:30, 11 February 2006 (UTC)


 * "Yes, I have the IRC bots in my toolkit, they work pretty well. Tawker 04:34, 11 February 2006 (UTC)".
 * Yeah, only "pretty well." Tee hee. Oh, and I liked the "You have new messages" thingy at the top of your user page. I clicked on it, thinking that the vandal had struck again. Good laugh. Thanks again; regards! — Ian Manka Talk to me‼ 04:38, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Green Party
Yeah, I was not being precise when I said the green party web site. It could have been taken from the Living Policy site which would make it more innapropriate since it would not even be official GPC policy. 70.29.200.164 08:34, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Good Work
Great job keeping Wikipedia clean, keep it up.

Re: Talk:Colombian_Armed_Conflict
I don't know why you deleted all of my comments on Talk:Colombian_Armed_Conflict.

I am having stupid messages that "Your message is not being posted due to a loss of session data", so I am having to cut and paste the complete message board (which consists of one single template before I began posting). I assume this was just a good faith mistake on your part. Thanks for being so dilegent, but my intent is not bad.Travb 09:38, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that, see my message on your talk page. Tawker 09:43, 11 February 2006 (UTC)


 * No prob. Thanks for your diligence. This is the third time this has happened to me in the 6 months that I have used wikipedia.  It never makes me angry, actually I am happy there are diligent people like yourself.  Thanks for your efforts.  Keep it up. Best wishesTravb 09:44, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

yes I own the copyright for the History of Trauma. Eugene Sherry MD esherry@bigpond.com &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 58.165.9.42 (talk &bull; contribs).


 * This note was left on your main user page. Thought I'd move it here. Sort of something I'd do to say "thanks." 24.93.171.252 19:47, 11 February 2006 (UTC) Didn't log in. Whoops! — Ian Manka Talk to me‼ 19:49, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

???
What edits are you talking about? Maybe you should name the article when you place vandalism warnings on people's talk pages. Just a suggestion. --65.211.7.140 20:05, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Please see reply on your talk page. It looked like a big mistake on our part. Sorry about that Tawker 20:09, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, someone had made a senseless edit so I fixed it. I should have written an edit summary, though. You don't have to be sorry, you were just doing your job. Thanks for the welcome. --65.211.7.140 20:12, 11 February 2006 (UTC) (P.S.: I even have an account, but sometimes I edit stuff before I sign in, so my IP appears all over. Oh, well.)

Thanks for the welcome!
Glad to be here! (And of course, an obligatory "Ha" for your You have new messages (diff) on your user page. :) 65.33.156.96 20:07, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism on the MRT page
Actually I did not add the image, it was an anonymous user (208.34.21.10) who added it just before I finished copyediting. I was actually about to revert it myself. InTheFlesh? 21:04, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
 * See comment, if someone blocks you, please direct them to your user page. Tawker 21:12, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Re: Welcome
Thanks, but I am Wikipostate. Nice to see the initial welcomes are still as warm as ever. 81.106.249.225 21:13, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank you!
Thank you for the warm welcome to Wikipedia! I think I really will follow the advice you gave me on my Talk page. --216.35.197.14 22:20, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Your revert on Gordon Campbell
Was your revert of my edit (which added the word "partly") a mistake? If you put up an NPOV banner, you probabaly shouldn't revert edits intended to solve your problem! -- Colle |  |  Talk -- 05:41, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Vandalise a page?
Look at the list of contribs - there's no vandalism there. You must have a pretty strange view of what vandalism is if you think that any of that was vandalism.

This is User:Zordrac here by the way. And when I used User:Internodeuser I was regularly accused of vandalism, yet even when they figured out that not a single edit was vandalism, there was no apology. Does that label follow me everywhere now, just because of some bad admin decisions? 203.122.215.180 05:45, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Copyvio
Copyright problems/Other/List of Jewish scientists and philosophers

Tons of discussion on it. The page creator wants it off wikipedia and has been fighting for a while now apparently.

Gordon Campbell
I didn't want to get involved either, but somehow.. there I am. Are you watching that dispute, perhaps you have some advice for me on how to deal with it! Thanks, -- Colle |  |  Talk -- 07:31, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Gordon Campbell
Hi Tawker. Thank you for your assistance on the Gordon Campbell page. I would respectfully request that you review the changes made in my edit versus the previous version(s). There were many factual inaccuracies and strong POV in the old versions. I understand politics can make some folks go a little crazy, but I just want the facts to be clear without POV and in this article they are not. All the best to you in future!
