Welcome
Hello, welcome to Wikipedia.

You might find these links helpful in creating new pages or helping with the above tasks: How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should read our policies at some point too.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!


 * If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.


 * You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: . If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.


 * If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.


 * Before saving a page, it's a good idea to use the Show Preview button to review your edits.

Hi,

Please notice the above project. As a wikipedian interested in physics, you might be especially interested in List of publications in physics

User:C1289H2051N343O375S8
You asked why I blocked this person. Here's a brief explanation of my rationale: I hope this helps. --Ryan Delaney talk 20:38, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) The user had been uploading copyvio images despite warnings not to do so.
 * 2) Rather than heed the warnings, the user kept uploading the images, and decided to retaliate against those who had given the warnings by vandalising their user and talk pages.
 * 3) The username is in contravention of the blocking policy which forbids confusing usernames. Incidentally, C1289H2051N343O375S8 is the chemical name for tryptophan synthetase A protein, of which the full name is the longest word in the English language with 1913 letters.

Featured article for December 25th
I noticed that you have listed yourself as an atheist Wikipedian. You will probably be interested to know that Brian0918 has nominated Omnipotence paradox as the front page article for December 25th. You can vote on this matter here. The other suggestion being supported by others for that date is Christmas, although Raul654 has historically been against featuring articles on the same day as their anniversary/holiday.

Self Harm page
Hi there, I'm getting in touch as commented on the self-harm article. I've done a fair bit of study on this subject recently, so reckon I'm in a position to go through and get a good load of citations in there. What I propose, is moving to using the tag to make this easier, and then I'll go through and get citations in, and replace some of the "some people" type areas with referenced viewpoints, trying to get multiple view is where there are opposing views. Obviously this'll involve a bit of rewriting and adding so I wondered if you have any feedback on this before I start. Acidsaturation 07:43, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Hello, you might be interested in Requests for comment/Futureobservatory. It'd be nice to clarify the copyright status of Futureobservatory's contributions. Flammifer 04:52, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Articles
How long does an article need to be so it won't be deleted? --Marshall T. Williams (talk) 17:06, 2 August 2008 (UTC)


 * It can be rather short, but it needs to do a few things:
 * Describe/define clearly what the article is supposed to be about. Make sure the definition makes sense to someone who is not already familiar with the subject. Avoid fallacies of definition. Also, make sure you are not just defining a word - that's for Wiktionary.
 * Assert the notability of the article's subject. Basically say what the subject is famous for, or why it's well-known or important.
 * If the subject will not be immediately recognized as notable by almost any other editor, provide at least one external link to a reliable source which backs up your claim of notability.
 * For an example of how short articles are okay, take a look at The Spike (essay), an article which I recently created. There's a few sentences describing what the essay is, and that's it. Its assertion of notability is that it is an essay by world-famous essayist George Orwell. As the article grows, reliable sources will be required, but because the notability isn't in question, that article isn't at risk of immediate deletion without one. Be especially careful about documenting notability of people, and anything related to music or the Internet - these are favorite topics for people to try to write about themselves and their friends. Finally, short articles of this type are called stubs. There is a whole zoo of stub type templates and you should include the one (or two) most relevant to your article's topic on your short article. This will place your article in a category that editors interested in the topic can check to find articles that they are interested in expanding. Good luck! -- Tyler (talk) 20:37, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Images Help
Hello again! It is me, the one who wanted to know how to make proper signatures! I come to ask you how to insert images. I have asked 2 users already, and not receiving clear answers. First, how do you upload images from Wikipedia? Do you have to send it to Wikipedia and type in the name in the photo gallery thing or something like that? Please answer on my talk page. Thank you.

THERE you are!
Do you have any idea how difficult it is to find you online now that ANO is full of spammers and cross-posters? :-D --Magmagirl (talk) 19:14, 22 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Sadly, ANO has been nothing but that for years. In fact I haven't even had access to a real Usenet server since I got out of college (though every once I a while I still check ANO through Google Groups). Danny, Dexter, Sunshine, Zonga, Sony and I still keep up to some extent on Facebook. Tyler (talk) 17:25, 24 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, shoot me a friend request, then -- I'm there too! --Magmagirl (talk) 19:30, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
