User:Littleghostboo
This user edited Wikipedia anonymously for a year before registering...but when the wikipediholism really got serious was around June or July this year, when my score hit the 1000 mark. It's currently around 4000, but I can't remember exactly... Littleghostboo [ talk ] 08:49, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I'm NinaEliza
Hi!

I've been fascinated with Wikipedia for a couple of weeks now. It started when I found out that Iris Chang, a former classmate at Uni High, had died. I found this out on an alumni newsletter and I wanted to know more, so I googled her. The first entry was Wikipedia, and I was struck with how detailed it was. Since then I have been logging on to Wikipedia every day and looking up....whatever! I've also read several discussion pages and appreciate the civil tone of the dialogue that most editors and admins engage in.

Consequently, I've decided to make Wikipedia my new hobby. Unfortunately, I don't have any specialized knowledge, but I'm reasonably intelligent and have a good command of the English language. I'm also a tenacious and resourceful internet researcher.

I have made teensy proofreading corrections to a couple of pages, but am at a loss as to what to do next. I initially looked up the "needed" articles, but I don't really feel qualified to start any of them myself. I would appreciate a little direction and mentoring.

I am a Nichiren Buddhist, I'm half black half white, I make gemstone wire-wrapped jewelry, I have Bi-Polar Disorder, and I'm the program coordinator for Compeer Santa Cruz (CA). I also absolutely love all forms of music.

Thanks for your attention and I look forward to a response,

Luca Pavone
The name should say all. If not, I'm just here to make minor contributions to gaming stubs and such. I've made a couple of contributions on the game King of Dragons and I think I got it going by mentioning it in Yashichi.

All in all, I like Wikipedia, it's helped me a fair bit with some studies I've done for school as well as some, shall we say, Independent research. Hahaha, well, it's mainly looking up info on games and other things which interest me.

Well, do pop into my user page or leave a note or whatever you guys do! Luca Pavone 11:29, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

I joined to add an article about Latin verb endings for all tenses. I do Latin as a subject at school and understand that I am one of relatively few. I would like to share some of the fascinating language so it doesn't die out. Latin verb endings and tenses

Hi!
I signed up for a Wikipedia account about a year ago because I had to write and article on Wikipedia as a media assignment. since then I have not done much, but recently I have made a few minor edits here and there. subject areas to which I think I may be able to contribute: (?) Well, I'm really good at English so I can do general editing. I'd also like to translate into French (I think there's certainly more work to be done there, they have far fewer articles) (although my French is not perfect I can start the job; someone else can fix the spelling!;)) Anyways I don't know if I have to create two user accounts to do that; what's the best way? I have firsthand knowledge of Islamic and Iranian tradition, I don't know what else that would be of use, because I'm young so I'm not a specialist or anything, but I think I have a good base of general knowledge. Drop a message on my talk page if you want! Monagz 22:38, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi all... Been browsing Wikipedia for months now, use it on a daily basis and decided it was about time I gave something back.

wiki for education
I'm a Physics teacher at the Aviation Academy in Newport News, VA. I'm looking into the use of wiki's for a class project. I have had a project in Virtual Teams, where students email one another and contribute information as a team then email the teacher. Maybe, this wiki will act as a standing contribution area for the students. Our school is a 4-year high school that teaches aviation maintenance (A&P), engineering, piloting, and information technology - A+, Cisco, Security+, Wi-Fi. We'll see if this works. David

I Have been searching to know how people enter your mail !
I TRIED MANY SITES TO FIND OUT HOW THOSE HAKERS ENTER YOU MAIL ? I WOULD LIKE TO ASK ,HOW THEY DO IT ? BECAUSE I FEEL THAT SOME INFORMATION I'M RECEIVING EXACTLY WERE IN MY E-MAILS.

THANKS

Hello
I am dharh and a computer science major. I am a big fan of organization of data and ease of use of getting that data. Kuro5hin, digg, slashdot, del.icio.us, and of course Wikipedia are some my favorite web sites. I love the idea of open source news and information which all of those sites are pretty much about.

Hi, I'm Keiche

 * Hello, my name is Keiche. First of all, it's not pronounced Key-chay, it's Key-shh, like sheesh with a K instead of an S. I get quite annoyed with the people who pronounce it wrong. My intrests are Halo: The Fall of Reach, Halo: The Flood, Halo: The First Strike, Halo: The Ghosts of Onyx, Halo Combat Evolved, and Halo 2, and all sorts of Halo Machinimas. It's pretty obvious I know a lot about the Halo universe. I got here from the Halo Machinima Red VS Blue. When they got the featured article, they gave a link here. I think I might want to help with WikiProject Halo, once I've figured out how to do anything on this site.....

US SUBMARINE HISTORY OF WWII
Yes, I am a US Submarine Veteran of World War II and am most interested in developing a historic record of all the known men who died during that war.

This is a personal research project developed to perpetuate their memory and primarily for the descendants and families of the more than 3,600 men lost.

For inclusion in this historic research, they must have been attached to a US Submarine Command or associated with a lost US Submarine of WWII. Passengers are included and with the submarine men, they have already been documented with data such as full name, rate or rank, boat he was associated with, date of death, hometown, awards, USN Service number, where his name is engraved and additional genealogical information when available.

If interested contact me via e-mail subvetpaul@aol.com or visit my website at www.subvetpaul.com 64.12.116.7 12:04, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi. New to all this but having fun.
Signed up (finally) so I could contribute some missing info on a radio station I'm very familiar with (I'm a former chief engineer of that station.) A bit confused still ... I can edit, but I can't seem to create a new page and I can't seem to move one that has an incorrectly formatted name. I'll learn, though.

Hello everyone,

I am Santosh Mishra. I am also new to this Wikipedia. I think it is a great tool not only for sharing information, but a good base to build a strong community.

Anyways, I am a computer professional. Mostly I prefer to work as a consultant. I love jobs that are a challenge. I stay in Kanjurmarg, a suburb of Mumbai, India. I natively belong to Gonda District, a district of Uttar Pradesh.

My favourite motto is : Love with passion, Fight with courage, Die with dignity, Live life Kingsize!!!

I hope to contribute more to Wikipedia as time goes on.

Take care and keep smiling, Regards,

Kalthuras
Hiya folks, longtime reader, new... time registree. I would like to think that I am fairly knowledgeable in the fields of, and not to sound like geek, the Star Wars Expanded Universe, myriad video and computer games from as far back as the SNES/GEN days (not to say I'm unaware of the NES and those that preceded it), and things which you would sort in the bin containing Tron, Wargames, and other things. I'm an eighteen year old gamer (who proudly lacks the 'l33t' mentality in favor of cynicism and good sportsmanship), an avid fan of Dune and the Hitchhiker's Guide sagas, and I'm a stickler for proper grammar and spelling who will deny and subtly hide any errors on my part, common as they are.

Hey Everyone,

My name is Jes. I was prompted to join this community after reading the article on Nero. My interests are boring and irrelevant, my profession is writing, (my current project being an historical novel based on the Pisonian Conspiracy). My areas of expertise are Imperial Rome and line editing. I speak, read and write fluent Spanish and Latin. I can order food and find a bathroom in French, Portuguese and Italian. Martial, Virgil, Apuleius, Achilles Tatius and Ovid are among my heroes.

I discovered Wiki through the Google search engine.

I will attempt to ad a few schools to the wiki. some are missing and i am just learning. should i contact the schools about adding something to the site or just do it?

let me know what you think. i am not sure.it first the edits that i do may just be an address and phone number and a link to the schools site. is that good enough? is there a certain format i need to do them in?


 * Hi Billaborn7447, you should probably take a look at WP:SCHOOLS which has all the guidelines and information you will need to create school pages. Its probably best not to put phone numbers and addresses on but a link to the school site would be a good idea. any questions don't hesitate to ask!

 * Next tag it correctly with the appropriate Image copyright tags. Generally an image created by yourself would be tagged under GFDL. Few other tags can also be used.
 * Lastly see Image tutorial for attaching images to an article.&mdash; Lost (talk) 05:29, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
