Introduction

This is my talk page. Feel free to add as you feel inspired.

Welcome

Hello, Bernard S. Jansen, 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 need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia over the last few days, particularly the bit of attention you gave to Presbyterian Church of Australia and Springsure, Queensland. I have a connection to both, although the one to Springsure is a little more tenuous. (I worshipped in the church you posted a picture of once in the mid 90's.)

Unless I am wrong to assume you are a Queenslander, or at least an Aussie, you might want to take a look around the Australian Wikipedians' notice board and WikiProject Australia, and consider adding yourself to Category:Wikipedians in Australia.

Again, welcome!  Blarneytherinosaur talk 09:14, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Blarneytherinosaur. I'm not sure of the protocol of replying to these messages. Do I reply on my page, in which case I assume you'd have to be 'watching' this page. Otherwise, I guess I've got to go on over to yours... I'll add an about me section on my page. I'm putty this comment on both pages. However, I'd be interested in finding out more about your involvement in Springsure, though it was a while ago. -Bernard S. Jansen 00:29, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

People handle talk pages in different ways. I watch pages where I leave a comment in case of replies. My preference is to continue the converstation where it started, so usually I'd reply here. However, because of the personal nature of your question, I will use the "Email this user" function. Blarneytherinosaur talk 02:31, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

(Typically, this kind of stuff goes on your user page. Blarneytherinosaur talk 02:31, 20 November 2006 (UTC))

Hi, Psalms

Regarding your query, I don't know exactly what you mean. What I did, is I added the Psalms tag to the top of each page linked there (except for the open source bibles from WikiSource) What this does is it puts the psalms box on the right hand side of the page.

File:Crest Presbyterian Church of Australia.PNG missing description details

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as:

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Nomination of Stockpile (military) for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Stockpile (military) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stockpile (military) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Mr. Guye (talk) 00:38, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Crest Presbyterian Church of Australia.PNG

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Crest Presbyterian Church of Australia.PNG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:04, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Soil Stockpile

The article Soil Stockpile has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

not a notable topic, this is basically just another name for a mound of dirt

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Rusf10 (talk) 01:53, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
