Welcome to Wikipedia! edit

Hello Busterdawg, welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed nobody had said hi yet... Hi!

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

You might like some of these links and tips:

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alf melmac 15:33, 15 November 2005 (UTC).Reply

How's the page look now? Stan weller 12:46, 10 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Pretty good at first glance, Stan. I've been pretty busy as of late so I have only had the chance to look at it now. I will take a closer look later. Thanks for the time you put in. Buster 00:40, 13 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

September 2007 edit

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to User:Tyrandan. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.  — Timotab Timothy (not Tim dagnabbit!) 23:59, 10 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

I don't think so. I pointed out a truism; User:Tyrandan is, indeed, a vandal. User:Tyrandan vandalized the No Fun article at 09:52, September 10th 2007. No shame in pointing it out on his user page where it can be discussed. My action in pointing out an established fact about a wiki user on his page to serve as a "Scarlet V", so to speak, is not vandalism and is highly constructive. If you don't like what I did I advise you to come up with a better explanation to wipe it away other than using the "vandalism" catch-all. - Buster 00:22, 11 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
If you want to point it out on his talk page, that's up to you. But that was on his User page. If you do, though, please remember to be civil — Timotab Timothy (not Tim dagnabbit!) 00:27, 11 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
In progress as we type. - Buster 00:35, 11 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
Actually, he's already been blocked, so I've put the appropriate tag on the user page. I apologise, I should have checked further first. — Timotab Timothy (not Tim dagnabbit!) 00:40, 11 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
No apology necessary. Lately I have had my fill of vandals and wanted to take a new tact, a head on approach. My apologies to you if I seemed at bit cranky. - Buster 04:04, 11 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
Looks like we're all good! :) — Timotab Timothy (not Tim dagnabbit!) 04:07, 11 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

The results of the questionnaire will be published in next month's newsletter. If you know of any editors who have edited film articles in the past, please invite them to take part in the questionnaire. Please stop by and take a few minutes to answer the questions so that we can continue to improve our project. Happy editing!

Discussion on linking to streamed copies of albums edit

Wikipedia policy allows us to link to legal streamed copies of albums. It would be useful to draw up a guideline on how and when to link to such albums; however, there is concern that it may not be appropriate as the music would not be available in all parts of the world. Is the benefit of having access to the music for most users outweighed by the fact that some users will follow a link to find the music is not playable in their region? Your view would be helpful at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums. SilkTork ✔Tea time 01:58, 16 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
