User talk:Tmh246

A tag has been placed on Tim handler, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable (see the guidelines for notability here). If you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please write  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, articles #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- Armadillo From Hell 17:31, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Please refrain from creating inappropriate pages. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. If you are writing about yourself, please use your user page instead. NawlinWiki 18:02, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed you were new, or at least that nobody has officially welcomed you yet, so let me be the first to say hello, give you some tips, and share a few useful links.

One thing we like to tell newcomers is to be bold. By this we mean don't be afraid to join the rest of us in improving the articles you see here. Most Wikipedians are friendly and patient, willing to give you the same respect you give them, no matter who they are or how long they've been here.

It looks like you're the type who isn't afraid to dive right in, which can be great as long as you understand the ground rules. Since being bold does not include being reckless, many new editors feel that it's good to be somewhat cautious at first. It certainly helps to avoid conflicts with other users if you learn the ins and outs before making major changes. If it's a big edit or a controversial issue, you may want to look at the article's talk page to see if the issue has been discussed in the past, or to post a message to see what other editors think about your proposed change before you make it. It's important to cite references and set personal points of view aside.

Here are some links you might find helpful:
 * User tutorial
 * Help desk
 * Policy on maintaining a neutral point of view
 * Policy for content when editing articles and creating new ones
 * Tips for settling disputes

Now that you have your own user name, you can sign your discussions by typing four tildes (~&#126;). This will automatically stamp your user name, the time, and the date. That will help other users reply to your posts. If you want to experiment with coding or see how articles will look before you post them, you can use your own private sandbox at User:/sandbox (the link will turn blue after you start the page). You can edit that page however you want without worrying about disrupting other articles.

I hope this information is useful to you, and I'm looking forward to seeing your contributions. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me for help. Kafziel Talk 16:34, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Welcome, and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia! Your test worked, and thank you for reverting or removing it yourself. The best way to do tests in the future would be to use the sandbox. You can look at these pages as well: how to edit a page, the tutorial, and how to write a great article. All of these pages are good places to start. Again, welcome, and I hope that you will like Wikipedia. -- Armadillo From Hell 16:58, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. -- Armadillo From Hell 16:58, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
