United States

Hi. I am a person in the U.S. with English as a primary language. I also know a little Latin and have a Latin Wikipedia account. Even though I am not Cherokee and know little of the language, I participate in the Cherokee Wikipedia project as well. (All have the user account Wikiacc.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiacc (talk • contribs) 17:03, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Sorry, that's not the way the talk page works. Perhaps you are confusing your talk page, which is the way people communicate with you, with your user page, which is where users have generally untrammelled sway to put what they like?
I've restored the paragraphs you deleted at United States. If you are going to delete material, it's customary to give some indication of why, either in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. - Nunh-huh 19:51, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Yes, I did not realize I was typing on the Talk page, I thought I was typing on the user page. Call me an amateur.
At United States I wanted to reduce the page size below 30 KB, and the information was repetitive with main articles for the sections. I forgot to put this on the talk page. Call me an amateur again. - Wikiacc 14 Jul 2004

Discussion with Zircean

I wonder why you were typing under discussion anyway.
...
Wait, I can call you an amateur? AHA! AMATEUR!... not. Hey, why don't you go listen to MAX 300. Awesome song. I fixed that article, btw. See ya around.

OK Zircean...
  1. There are HR tags for a reason. Use them.
  2. If you just do four tildes you can make it say all the data. It's too much work to put them in by hand, at least for most people.
  3. I was an amateur in July. It is November as of this writing...
  4. Have you subscribed to the mailing list yet?
  5. If you check out my old IP address, 24.186.144.226 you will find numerous edits made by me before I had an account.
    In fact, you are the one who's the most amateur-like here. And by fixed that article, I hope you didn't mean you POVed it. I hope.

Wow. If you were an amateur in July then change it! There's an "edit this page" button for a reason you know. BTW, it was not a political article. In fact, I haven't touched one political article (yet)! Also, I can't. It says be neutral somewhere. Agh, I forgot, but it doesn't matter.
Zircean 20:50, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
P.S. Yay for tildes.
I don't want to change what I was back in July, I said that I was an amateur to Nunh-huh and that is what I was. I don't want to change what I said. And even though you may have not touched a political article yet, NPOV applies in ALL articles. In fact, I am thinking of making it required reading for everybody in the paper (that's how important it is)... Also, PLEASE don't make my HTML into XHTML. Wikipedia is HTML 4.0 and by making the tags self-close you are making the validity of the page screw up. - Frank 21:06, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I though you were Mr. Technical. Jeez! You're the one complaining when we don't do correct XHTML 1.0 on the Bitmap Project. BTW, I didn't POV anything. Period. Especially since the article for MAX 300 is an article for a song, how do you POV a song? You logic escapes me. What I meant is since that article was a stub (I think) I made it full-length. - Zircean 00:56, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Maybe I should make some rules about posting on my talk page.
(See top)

Well, that was then. If you want to make the page HTML 4.0, do it, just make sure it's valid. XHTML is my personal choice, but you won't get an edit war every time the document type changes.

K, I'm following your format. !Forget what I put here, it doesn't matter now! Zircean 21:42, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
