Re Talk:Evolution -- did you notice the big box at the top of the page, which said "WARNING: This is not the place to discuss any alleged controversy or opinion about evolution and its related subjects."? NawlinWiki (talk) 19:14, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Happy New Year! Same issue again, what you KNOW and what science has found from evidence of nature are apparently not the same. There's a whole world out there, hope you enjoy finding out more about it, dave souza, talk 17:09, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Hosting at the Teahouse

Hi Mikayla. Thank you for offering your services as a host at the Teahouse. However, I'm concerned that you do not yet have enough experience of Wikipedia's policies and processes to perform the role of a host effectively - you have only made fourteen edits here to date, and three of those were to ask a question on the very board hosts are expected to answer questions at! Spend six months to a year editing proactively at Wikipedia, rack up a few thousand edits and get a good knowledge of how Wikipedia works; then we'll be more than happy to have you helping out. All the best, Yunshui 雲‍水 13:20, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
