Hello, welcome to Wikipedia. Here's some tips:

Other useful pages are: how to edit, how to write a great article, naming conventions, manual of style and the Wikipedia policies.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Angela. 08:49, Mar 9, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Love is a Many Splendored Thing

I added a bit to the article, and I'm considering doing some more work to it. See the changes and tell me what you think. Mike H 02:57, Sep 9, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] History of the announcements of Another World

I saw your post about the AW introductions and announcements at WoST. Personally, I don't think this needs to be its own article, but when I put Another World (TV series) through FAC in June, people insisted that things that were "too trivial" go to their own articles. :-/ Mike H 18:40, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

Please don't delete Cleanup headers until the article is actually cleaned up. RickK 06:20, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] SFT

You know those '82 episodes at WoST? Maybe you can give me a faster answer. You know the music blaring in Wendy's apartment in the seventh segment? Who sings that song, and what's it called? I really like that song and want to download it. Mike H 04:59, Nov 1, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Templates

Greetings! Most templates can be edited by going to the page Template:XXXX where "XXXX" is the name of the template. To explain it better using an example, if you wanted to edit the content of {{Bowl Games}}, you would go to the page Template:Bowl Games. In this same manner, you can create a new template by creating a new article in the Template: namespace, like Template:Burglflikl. You can find some more information on this at Wikipedia:Template messages. RADICALBENDER★ 17:56, Dec 5, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] Andrew Lloyd Webber

From your edits to the Phantom of the Opera entry, it is apparent that you mistakenly believe that Andrew Lloyd Webber's last name is simply Webber, which it is not. His last name is Lloyd Webber, the same as his brother, cellist Julian Lloyd Webber. The FinalWord 21:12, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry

Sorry about the confusion just then with the Smile album. I wasn't sure what was going on! - Akamad 05:46, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rock opera

Hi, I have just reverted your inclusion of Rock Opera in the opera genres template and I would like to explain why I had to do this. The Opera project recently discussed the issue of Rock Opera at some length and the majority were against including it. The list at present is a short one, not all genres are included, only the more important ones. I trust that explains why rock opera is not there. Regards. - Kleinzach 19:39, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to Smile (Brian Wilson album)

Your recent edit to Smile (Brian Wilson album) (diff) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior. Click here for frequently asked questions about the bot and this warning. // AntiVandalBot 18:22, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Color Classics

A long time ago you contributed information to the article Color Classics. Would it be possible for you to dig up your sources for your contributions? Thank you. Captainktainer * Talk 05:01, 17 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] About Dune (film)

Hello, i recently changed one of the changes you made, about the Dune film. Much of the article is in fact devoted into debunking the rumour that there was a 4-hours director cut of the film that was never shownd, when in reality this cut never actually existed to begin with, the thing that comes close to it was the workprint cut. I encourage you to read the whole "Production" section of the article.

[edit] Article in need of cleanup - please assist if you can

The article Braveheart, to which you have helped contribute, has been flagged as requiring cleanup.

If possible, we would appreciate your assistance in cleaning up this article to bring it up to Wikipedia's quality standards. If you are unsure what the nature of the problem is, please discuss this on the article's talk page.

[edit] Bond Soundtrack

Please do not vandalize. Thank you.

[edit] Names

1. The Wikipedia convention (indeed, the convention for all English-language reference works) is to give the English version of the name (the article title) first, and the non-English form second. Please don't continue your extensive attempts to change this.

2.

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary. Thanks, and happy editing.

[edit] The Zoot Cat

I am not sure where you got your information from, but as far as I've always been aware, the cartoon has always been called "The Zoot Cat" and not simply "Zoot Cat." Every book or website I've looked at on the cartoon has "The" in the title, and even the cartoon's title card (which is on the page!) contains the word "the" on it, but if you can find something that suggests otherwise, I'd like to see it. MartinP1983 22:20, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment. MartinP1983 is correct. If you look at the original image (located in the article) you will see that it is indeed titled The Zoot Cat. Purgatory Fubar Converse or Snafu 22:25, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

If you look closely at the main titles of said cartoon, Zoot Cat is in quotation marks, so "Zoot Cat" would be an official title. Of course, you can refer to it as "the Zoot Cat" too. Hiphats 02:08, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The First Christmas: The Story of the First Christmas Snow

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of The First Christmas: The Story of the First Christmas Snow, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: The Story of the First Christmas Snow. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 22:58, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] February 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Legend (film), is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. This is especially important when dealing with biographies of living people, but applies to all Wikipedia articles. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add your reference to the article. Thank you. Collectonian (talk) 03:45, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] POV statements

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Saturday Night Live season 33‎. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Ward3001 (talk) 05:30, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unsourced information

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to Most Outrageous Moments. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Ward3001 (talk) 05:32, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cut and paste moves

Hello, Hiphats. I came across Living in the Past (album), which you had moved back in March from the un-disambiguated page title. In the future, please use the "move" button at the top of the page to move articles, not through cut and paste. The reason for this is that the page histories are severed from the article in cut and paste moves, which invalidates the GDFL (because the GDFL requires all contributors to be given credit, which is accomplished through the page history). I just grafted the old history onto the new version of the page; are there any other pages you've moved this way? If so, just let me know, and I'll fix them. If there's a page that needs to be moved, and you can't move it yourself (for example, if there's a redirect with more than one edit), please list it at Wikipedia:Requested moves, where an admin can move it for you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me, either here or on my talk page. Thanks. Parsecboy (talk) 16:09, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
