[edit] Welcome

Hello, welcome to Wikipedia.

[edit]

Here are some tasks you can do:

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!

  • 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.

Again, welcome! —Guanaco 22:11, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Raina, people's issues about your remarks in Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Non-violent child discipline were probably well-intentioned, but ill-advised. They probably didn't know you were new to this (we don't hear a lot from actual newbies on Vfd, and we do get a certain amount of "sock puppet" activity, enough to make some people suspicious by default). You can almost certainly prevent this problem in the future by signing your comments in the standard way. At the tail end of your comment, just write ~~~~. That will put your user name & a date stamp, and no one will mistake you for an anonymous user who doesn't get a vote.

Welcome & I hope you keep contributing. Don't be discouraged by the fact that someone proposed to delete your article: the clear consensus is moving toward keeping, with some edits. -- Jmabel 02:54, Jul 6, 2004 (UTC)

If you want to bring your credibility up another notch, write a little about yourself at User:Raina (which should remove any suspicions that you are a sock puppet!).
Do remember in writing articles: this is not about duelling polemics, nor is it a how-to manual. Material stating (preferably with citation) that such-and-such authority holds such-and-such opinion will rarely be deleted. Personal opinion without such citation usually will, unless someone else has the patience to clean it up. -- Jmabel 05:46, Jul 6, 2004 (UTC)

Hi Raina, welcome to Wikipedia. Enjoyed reading your talk page. Here are some glitches:

  • recouperate can be changed to recuperate
  • while mentioning names of books, movies, etc., use italics, although its fine for a User page I guess
  • The Charlie Chaplin movie is The Great Dictator

You can also have a look at Wikipedia:Glossary in order to understand the terms some people on Wikipedia keep throwing about. Jay 14:29, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Raina, I'm one of the contributors to the Spanking page and I must say I was very pleased that you decided to revert your changes. It takes a strong person to admit they're wrong - and I know because I'm exceptionally strong!!! Please keep adding to this article. I would really appreciate more detailed anti-spanking arguments - especially any arguments against classical conditioning (I wrote that part and yes, I, spank my child for that reason). Keep up the good work. One Salient Oversight 23:17, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] English

Hi. Please disambiguate English on your user page. For example, English. Thanks. RedWolf 02:52, Sep 3, 2004 (UTC)


[edit] Charles Parham

Did you write the Charles Fox Parham article? Coffeeboy 19:19, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

I started it, and many have added to it. Raina 01:56, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unreferenced, Non-violent child discipline

When you wrote the article, did you note the sources that you used? I think it would be good to include those in the article. Not making a value judgement either way, in case you're wondering. Roodog2k 17:42, 17 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Thank You

It's glad to know someone agrees with me in Wikipedia. Thanks for backin' me up on the ethnic slurs discussion page.

You are very smart, a good writer, and I really admire your life !! --John van v 00:56, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
