Welcome! edit
Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you enjoy the encyclopaedia and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ; plus, if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page.
Additional tips edit
Here are some extra tips to help you get around in Wikipedia:
- If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
- You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
- You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
- If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
- If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
Current open tasks edit
You can help improve the articles listed below! This list updates frequently, so check back here for more tasks to try. (See Wikipedia:Maintenance or the Task Center for further information.)
Help counter systemic bias by creating new articles on important women.
Help improve popular pages, especially those of low quality.
Good luck.

Saw your message to User:WBardwin edit
I saw your message to WBardwin and thought I would comment since you indicated you weren't sure if you were leaving the message correctly. Each user has two pages "user page" and "discussion". The discussion page is the one that if anyone but the "owner" edits - it will display the orange message you got after I saved this message :). The user page is each users "my place" on Wikipedia where they can put stuff about themselves, links, reminders, etc and by tradition, we usually don't edit each others "user page". Welcome and stick around - I think WBardwin is back from vacation but catching up at work :P --Trödel 22:13, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- Many thanks! Jancarhart 22:34, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Citations and Elizabeth Cady Stanton edit
- Hi! Yes, Alaska was wonderful. I wish we had taken much more time there. I've noted your careful edits on ECS during brief visits here. During the last several months, standards and methodology on citation have changed drastically, requiring us all to play catch-up on material written in the last couple of years. As I did contribute to many of the sections on Stanton, I'll have to gather up books again and complete the citations in the current format. I have to admit that I'm not looking forward to the effort -- I hate templates! I have been very busy, but hope to have more time after about the 10th of December. Look forward to working with you. FYI -- as Trödel noted above, please direct messages to the User Talk/Discussion pages. Best wishes. WBardwin 08:08, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Regarding your Relatively Urgent note: I appreciate the work you have done on the Stanton article in the last few months. My time here has been erratic due to work and family issues. Although I would certainly support A-class and would like to work toward featured article status, my time is again variable. I am leaving for Idaho on Tuesday, May 1st for up to ten days and will have limited internet access there. Once I'm back, however, I will have more time here. I have plans to help move another article to featured status and merge two small articles into one. I should be able to work on Stanton as well. As I recall, the abortion issue and quotes came primarily from two sources, the books by Baker and Dubois. Thanks for the invitation to help. WBardwin 01:55, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Duplicate images uploaded edit
Thanks for uploading Image:Rainier Meadow (July 2005).jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Ranier Meadow (July 2005).jpg. The copy called Image:Ranier Meadow (July 2005).jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and remember exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot 01:32, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Jane Alexander edit
that would be all fine and good if wp were based on the mla. in fact, wp conventions are more closely in line with the cms. further, wp:cite clearly outlines section headings and usage--which are compliant with neither style guide--and are in common use throughout the majority of wikipaedia articles. --emerson7 | Talk 00:44, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Nope, that wasn't me. I removed some stray bold text; it appears that User:GowsiPowsi inserted the expert verification tag. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 21:53, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
Stanton edit
Are you, or any of the other Stanton editors, planning on addressing the issues that are raised at the FAC? Perhaps you are indisposed at the moment? Awadewit | talk 23:51, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
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.
