Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome to Wikipedia, BobGreenwade! I'm Celestianpower. I noticed that you were new and/or have yet to receive any messages so I just thought I'd pop in to say "hello". Hello. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it's so big but we won't bite so Be Bold and get what you know down in microchips! If you do make a mistake, that's fine, we'll assume good faith and just correct you: it'll take a few seconds maximum! Here, however, are a few links to get you started:

There are lots of policies and guidelines to get to grips with but they all make your life easier and your stay more fun in the long run. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or add {{helpme}} to your userpage - someone will come very, very quickly to your aid. Please be sure to sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? ;)

I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a great time, all the best, sayonara and good luck!

Straight saxes

edit

Hi, saw your edit and thought you might be interested that Jay Easton told me he has a straight bari too (!) I think it's custom made so not sure if it merits inclusion in the article. Badagnani 19:20, 8 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

Actually I've heard of such a thing in a limited-edition sort of distribution -- not exactly mass produced, but not quite one-of-a-kind either. I'd post more about it in the article if I could get specifics.BobGreenwade 17:07, 9 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

Re: Steve Long

edit

Hi. I've been fleshing out some RPG pages, and when stubbing Steve Long (Hero Games) was surprised to find a link from your user page. It took me a while to figure out it was a user page, and not a rpg designer article. Of course now I'm afraid to enter anything more for Steve Long... :-) want to do the honors?

Merged Digital Hero into Hero Games

edit

Bob, I merged Digital Hero into Hero Games since it was only one short paragraph. Your page is shown as the only one that linked to that article. RickReinckens 02:44, 11 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

No problem, Rick. I'll fix the link here. :) BobGreenwade 17:17, 11 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Major Hero settings?

edit

Bob, I saw your update to the Hero Universe page abd I almost made the same change myself, but I couldn't decide how to judge which settings are "major genre-based settings" and which ones aren't. What makes Turakian any more major than Valdorian? What makes Terran Empire major and Alien Wars minor? I think perhaps the whole paragraph could be better reworded to not rank the settings artificially. Any thoughts? Rigel1 17:43, 9 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

What I'm calling "Major" are the ones that have additional books to support them. The Grimoires and FH enemies books are geared for Turakian Age; Spacer's Toolkit and Worlds Of Empire are geared for Terran Empire. Valdorian Age, Alien Wars, and the upcoming Tuala Morn have no additional books planned for their respective settings (third-party AW books notwithstanding).

I guess that makes sense, but I am just not sure DOJ would consider some settings "major" and others not. It's clear that some are more supported and more developed, but I'm not sure that equates to major. Either way, I think the Hero Universe article looks great now.

Proposed deletion of Fictional fictional character

edit
 

The article Fictional fictional character has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No such concept exists; unreferenced for 4 years; contains original research written in essay form; no reliable sources use this term - it's been invented by Wikipedia

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
