Welcome!

Hello, BakugekiNZ, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! 

You might want to consider adding {{User NZ res}} to the top of your user page, which will add you to Category:Wikipedians in New Zealand automatically and also add a nice graphic. Or simply add [[Category:Wikipedians in New Zealand]] which will have the same effect.

Great work on Auckland Grammar School, but please add comments to the bottom of talk pages in future.

It would be good if you were to adopt Three Kings, New Zealand. It could do with another / better picture. Just remember that no one actually owns an article on Wikipedia, so other users have just as much right to edit the article as you do. In practice, this is an article which gets few edits, and the only thing in it which might possibly cause controversy is the dewatering/subsidence paragraph, which I think is handled reasonably neutrally at the moment.-gadfium 00:44, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Your userboxes

Because of the current campaign against userboxes, it's pretty likely that many of your boxes are going to get deleted from their template space soon (especially your Flying Spaghetti Monsterism box, but in general, any boxes that could be considered to express a point of view someone might disagree with). These templates will very likely be deleted in the next week or two. The best (and really, only) way to protect those userboxes is to perform a "substitute" command on each one of them, which will put the code directly into your page, instead of calling on the template every time your page is loaded. That way, when the template is deleted, it has no effect on the code resident on your page.

In order to do this, go into your user page, and wherever you have a template, insert "subst" inside the brackets. So,

{{template name}} becomes {{subst:template name}}

and your userboxes will all take up residence on your page. Sometimes this makes the formatting funky, and will require some tweaking in the code to restore the layout of your boxes as they were before. If you have any questions about this, please drop me a line. Regards, JDoorjam Talk 23:11, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

I noticed that on Talk:Liz Shaw (New Zealand)#Terrible article you stated you wanted the article gone.. Well, I have nominated it for deletion, please vote on it [Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Liz Shaw (New Zealand)|here]. --Midnighttonight 03:14, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
