Thanks for the Wiki welcome[edit]

Mellar, thanks for the welcome. Best regards Darren. Dlloyd 04:02, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Also, thank you for my wikiwelcome =D Jaberwocky6669 05:02, Jul 27, 2004 (UTC)

Dear Meelar, thanks for the welcome. Bye, Gianluigi 18:56, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I Think I Got It![edit]

Hey Meelar. Thank you for the great suggestion. I think Michael MacLennan should pass 'Wiki' standards. I am still open though to suggestions. MatthewRed 02:01, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)

bête noire[edit]

Hi Meelar, hope I'm doing this right...brand new to Wikipedia and I'm still kind of feeling my way around. I agree completely about "bête noire" -- it does need fleshing out. (I noticed that an empty link to it already existed and I figured I'd just go ahead and dive in!) Not much of a French scholar but I'll see what I can do about beefing up the entry a bit. Thanks for your help!  :^)


Clouseau

Rapidly becoming your bête noire?[edit]

Hey, no problem! I'm not cripplingly egotistical, so I won't find it emotionally debilitating if the article is deleted. Thanks again for your help -- please feel free to pass along any suggestions for improvement!

Thanks for the Wiki welcome[edit]

Meelar, Thanks for your welcome to me. So much to try to do, so little time. . . Prioritizing helps, eh? (smile)

You're the first one to let me know about how to use the tildes. I notice that the Editing help page doesn't have directions for how to make the degree sign (as in Celsius or Farenheit). Could an admin add that info into its content? (Check out my revision to Mojave Desert to see what I mean)

Enjoy your collegiate studies! Sounds like you're a Poly Sci major. All that reading of texts and papers to write. . . I remember those days with some fondness and still remember memorizing standard macroeconomics facts for tests (though I don't remember them now). Something about Gross National Product, personal income, etc. In time, you too will be able to forget as I have. . . There is hope for you. . . (smile) Happy Trails, --avnative 01:48, Jul 12, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome (though a bit late)! :) -- Bluemask 14:24, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Shock Sites[edit]

That same user just put tubgirl.com onto my talk page. I erased it but it's in my history. Mike H 20:18, Jul 12, 2004 (UTC)

He vandalized Lucky 6.9's user page with graphic descriptions of anal penetration, oral sex, and defecation. I fixed it but it's in the history. Mike H 20:20, Jul 12, 2004 (UTC)

Hello to you too![edit]

Thanks for the welcome - you must have missed my previous attempts! And thanks for editing my page, that looks much nicer now!

Thanks for your welcome[edit]

Thank your for your welcome! I just come and go on the english wikipedia... in fact I write on the french and italian wikipedia as it is easier for me! But making links I always end up here... and sometimes I even write something, or at least I try! Sicilarch 20:12, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip[edit]

Meelar, thanks for the tip with MusicWiki content from Wikipedia. Would you please take one minute to check if this article conforms to Wikipedia rules? Thank you very much in advance.

Thanks for checking, Meelar.

Thanks for the welcome Meelar! Jcmaco 22:17, Jul 13, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome and the tips :-) -I'm slowly learning how everything works - I find Wikipedia is a quite intriguing concept - already spent far too much time on it than I anticipated! Kind Regards Morten 15:17, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)


Thank you for your help[edit]

Thanks very much for your speedy resolution of my confusion about links on, I will watch for capital letters more carefully now. User:Francis Davey

is my article ok[edit]

I want to send links to my peers to my common alerting protocol article

will this article be alive always?

This is my stuff[edit]

This is stuff that me and my coworkers wrote. I dont have time to start digging up references. If you want i can remove the stuff that seems duplicated. give me the article back so i can do it. Some of the stuff i wrote just now...

ok but the article is no where to be found[edit]

Where is the article that was suspended? I looked at the copyright page and couldnt find it. Also, can I first get it published and then edit the details to make it fit the standards (within the week)

Thanks for the welcome[edit]

Thanks for the welcome to Wikipedia. Especially the hint on signing, I was wondering how to do that easily. Keep an eye out, I've got lots to add over time. James Crippen 23:17, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome[edit]

Thanks for the welcome to Wikipedia. I've actually been active for a while. My Boundary to space article even made it to the Main Page. But anyway: thanks again; it's nice to be welcomed by an "established Wikipedian". Also thanks for the hint on signing. Ropers 13:13, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Thanks![edit]

Thanks a lot - I've been a Wikipedia user for a couple of years, only now getting round to contributing something back. I'll probably concentrate on Northern Ireland politics and recent history in the short term, although am likely to do some things in Turkey when I get the time, maybe some translation into German.

And I'm a politics graduate myself from the Queen's University of Belfast. Gerry Lynch 17:07, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Questions[edit]

Thanks for your note. I know I am supposed to use the talk pages for that purpose however I have found that sticking the question at the top of the article is an extremely effective way of getting a quick edit. It also serves to highlight an issue I have, people who write good article, usually quite sensible ones but they overlook any form of introduction and plunge straight into the details. It is really quite important to start off with where, when and what you are writing about. Articles about computers seem to be the worst although I recently got involved with a series of articles that described the several sports heroes and never once mentioned which sport was involved. Cheers ping 22:33, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Cycle Path[edit]

They are NEVER called "cycle paths" in the U.S. They are almost invariably called bike paths. I think you should have left it as "bike path", inserted a note that they are called cycle paths in the UK, and created cycle path as a redirect, since the general rule is for US/non-US conflicts is that the article goes under the original regional heading of whoever wrote it. jaknouse 00:12, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome![edit]

Off to do some edits...Silly Dan 02:44, 2004 Jul 16 (UTC)

Editing question[edit]

Can you help me sort out [this] problem, please?

Thank you.


Thanks for the welcome! Frogman 20:07, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Hey there...[edit]

I don't think I quite got what you meant, Meelar. Did I make any mistakes? I don't think so, but if you elucidated me I would be very thankful.

Alright.[edit]

Thanks, man. I am going to try my best to help the Wikipedia grow. ;) See ya around.


Wikisource[edit]

Thanks for mentioning Wikisource, I will examine the possibility of moving the story The Parable of the Water-Tank to that location. Stewjack 21:20, Jul 16, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for info[edit]

Hi, thanks for the info on copyright, i thought that if no copyright restriction were visibile on the original site the image was trouble-free for wikipedia; I'm sorry, my mistake.. If you think is better to delete the images i uploaded due to copyright problems go ahead, no problem for me :). Krellmachine 23:13, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

EMH Comment[edit]

Thanks for the welcome.

I came across EMH on the "random page" link.

Bah![edit]

Bah? -- Cecropia | Talk 06:38, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)

No problem, See User talk:Fallout1. I added Be Bold! as well, and am thinking of leaving it at that. Sam [Spade] 06:55, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Humbug[edit]

Actually, my teen-aged daughters and their friends keep me in touch with where youth culture is these days--up to a point. I'm not one of those people who thinks "everything was better when I was a kid." The '50s were a crappy time to grow up, all the nostalgia notwithstanding. The '60s weren't great either, what with a war draft and a lot of social turmoil, but they were very culturally alive and interesting. One thing I'll say is that kids today (remember my advanced age when I specify kids) are much nicer than when I was a kid. More open, friendlier, easy to talk to. There are trends that bother me, but I also see a lot of return to what I would call "old standards" in society in general.

That bit of senior rambling notwithstanding, my favorite thing on Wikipedia is writing and editing, though I'm too easily sidetracked into discussions and such, and every now and then I try to think of subjects (esp. obscure ones) that might not be in Wikipedia. While watching old videos with one daughter, I ran across a truncated version of Magical Mystery Tour which included Death Cab for Cutie. Despite the fact that it was British, and a joke, it's one of the better examples of real old-fashioned cabaret like you had in mid-century New York. I put it up there with the German cabaret scenes in Blue Angel. Of course I had to see if it was in Wikipedia. Best as always, Cecropia | Talk 07:17, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Pictures and such[edit]

I'll check the whole copyright thing, but me main problem is that whenever I upload an Image, it always ends up as little white square with a red cross in it. I can still access the file and put it in articals, but the image i want is never there, just the red cross. Any idea why? Cheers.

Stupid talk link question[edit]

I notice you always have a direct link to your talk page next to your name (linking to your user page). I know the ~~~~ macro but is there one for the talk page? Thanks in advance. --Ged 21:43, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Personal Attacks[edit]

When you put effort into creating an informative and factually correct page it gets a little disheartening when some moron wiped it completely and replaces it with something that is completely wrong. Makes you wonder whether wikipedia is really worth it if all it turns out to be is the last persons incorrect opinion. Not much of a website!

--Cameron1 12:41, 19 Jul 2004 (GMT)

Hey Meelar, thanks for your numerous minor fixes. On the sociology: I didn't include too much of that on purpose for two reasons:

  1. There's so much to be said that it should go into a separate article, and
  2. I have no good, exhaustive sources for that topic.

Beecher's motivations can be seen as a forerunner of later emancipatory trends. The whole movement to apply Taylorist methods to the kitchen was (partly) driven by emancipatory goals. See the article on the Frankfurt kitchen for some mention of these influences and early and later (feminist) criticisms.

Many of the later lasting developments came by a gradual process and high-profile proponents that influenced kitchen architecture after the late 1920s are rare (to my knowledge). The famous architects were mostly male and often emphasized novelty and theory (cf Colani's kitchen ball or Le Corbusier's Modulor kitchen (2.26m cubed)) over useability, and I doubt they actually ever cooked in their own contraptions! Their designs typically had no effect whatsoever on mainstream kitchen architecture. Advances in technology had a much greater impact.

Anyway, thanks for your support! Lupo 15:28, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Cheers![edit]

Thanks for the welcome. I've only just started on Wikipedia so it's encouraging to hear from someone that's been doing it for awhile. I read that politics is your speciality so if you ever have any questions about Japanese or Australian politics then send them my way. --Sekizaru 20:18, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Aurebesh[edit]

The site I got it from had no copyright information on it, so I'd assume that the image file was public domain. --Akula4211 16:30, Jul 20, 2004 (UTC)

Ok, I'll take it down - didn't know that - and possibly work on a file of my own to replace it with. --Akula4211 16:35, Jul 20, 2004 (UTC)


Car Donation[edit]

Hi Meelar, I put the original version of Car donation on VdF, I think we must have been working simultaneously, because I was trying to list it on VdF when your comment came up. Whatever!. Seeing your explanation I've voted to keep. As a Non-American I had never heard of it, and thought it was a 'used car' firm on the make. Very good re-write. Regards Giano 18:31, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

That was quick. I was just looking at you page on anti'terrorism to get the American view. Very neutral . Congratuations Giano 18:37, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Hi :) Actually, i have been around Wikipedia for some time now, but i contribute more on a "oh, that's wrong/missing/interesting than a regular basis :) I will go through the pages you linked me to again. Wikipedia has a way of changing fast ;) I think i should have checked other spellings now, but that was kinda hard with that name ;) (Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu for the others :). Thanks for the tip with the triple/quadruple tilde, by the way. I usually did that by hand.. RichiH 20:27, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

What If?[edit]

What if there is not actual copyright?

Ok then...[edit]

Where I got the images from was off of the Google Image search so i'll have to go back, find the image, and get the copyright?

I've used Wikipedia for research and recommended it to my students. Thought it time to give something back. It's starting to look like this could get addictive!

Vic 01:50, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Another thank you![edit]

Thanks for welcoming me; I guess its because I added to your Jack Ryan article. Wikipedia is awesome. And as a 46 year old, that's not a word I use lightly!

Question about your recent edit to MoveOn.org[edit]

I'm curious why you removed the passage which says that the MoveOn Voter Fund is the same type of organization as the Kerry/Bush campaigns or the Democratic National Committee. In your edit comment, you say "this is kind of misleading." To the contrary, I don't think it is misleading at all. If you look at a list of prominent 527 organizations, MoveOn is listed along with various political campaigns. This is precisely why MoveOn set up the Voter Fund as a separate entity from its other components. A 527 is allowed, under U.S. tax laws, to engage in certain types of political activities that are not permitted for other organizations. MoveOn itself has been up front about the fact that it set up its own 527 for the purpose of engaging in political activities. Why do you think it is misleading to say this in the article?

Sheldon Rampton 03:31, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Treaty of Devol[edit]

Hi Meelar, I fixed up the Treaty of Devol article based on your comments on FAC...how does it look now? Anything else I should do? Adam Bishop 04:00, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Since it seems to be the theme of this page...[edit]

Thanks for your welcome (back). :-) You must be busy welcoming newcomers....puts me to shame. Thanks for your consistent dedication to leaving me little notes of greeting and gratitude -- though I may not always feel deserving, it is little things like this that keep me here despite my numerous other interests in the "real world". I hope you realize that, as is evident from this page, a great many people have better experiences here because of your attitude and your kind and friendly words. Even if we ignore your content additions (which are significant and excellent), your contribution to this site in simply making it a more welcoming and pleasant place is immeasurable (but assuredly great). Thanks. Jwrosenzweig 17:43, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome[edit]

Thanks for the welcome. I've been browsing the site for a couple of months now, and decided to start contributing/editing last week. Looking forward to helping to develop this great online resource. I've always wished that more sites had an Edit this page button. :-)

Hi, thank you four your message. What means "# Feed: rss atom" at the special pages?

Vandalism?[edit]

Why do I get messages sent from you about me being a vandal? I have edited a Wikipedia page exactly once in the history of me using it, and it was a silly link. Was your message an error? I often receive messages saying I have to stop vandalising... All I do is read articles in here. I don't get it. :(


EDIT: I got your message. I have an account now. ;)

I get messages of Vandalism[edit]

But I havn't vandalized anything. I just come here to read articles but you keep telling me to stop vandalizing or I'll be blocked. Cut it out, please. If someone is vandalizing this site, its not my problem. If you can't tell one anonymous IP user apart from another, you shouldn't be sending messages to people unless you are sure of their guilt.

No. However there is a known bug that can direct a user to a talk page that is not their own. - Tεxτurε 00:30, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Thanks, and a Question[edit]

Yeah, don't blame you for changing that Media Conglomerate article, I was in terrible writing form that day. Anyways just wondering how it came about that you personally contacted me. Are you the only contactee? Or were you assigned me like a mentor system. If not I would suggest a sort of mentor system so newbies like me could have some guidance. I just don't know the protocols!

Thanks

-Windfinder

Big Problem With Categories[edit]

Sorry to bother you, but right now, whenever I access any categories they do not display their links. There is usually a blank screen between the title and the catergory's category links. Its possible this is just me, but it happens on all categories and is quite worrying. There doesn;t seem to be any mass vandalism, either. Could you check it out?

-Erolos 18:23, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)


Admin boilerplate[edit]

What a great idea, Meelar! I think I'll substitute your question for #6, since that seems to have turned into one of those "when was the last time you beat your wife, and do you regret it?" questions politicians always have to dance around. Cheers, Cecropia | Talk 19:58, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Contibuting to Wikipedia Articles[edit]

Hi Meelar,

Thank you for the welcome and advice. Could you please advise me on the following concern of mine. I am new to this community and am still learning, but I am also respectful of others efforts, work and contributions to various articles and wikipedia sites that I am interested in. I have made efforts to contribute to one particular site that is close to my heart-Hawaii-and I felt out of fairness and clarity to the history and facts of my home, Hawaii, that I contribute to some facts and flesh out more of the history to inform people. After my efforts, someone, I believe it was Gerald "Jerry" Farinas because he erased my contributions to "Notable People of Hawaii", erased my demographic %'s and breakdowns of the various ethnic groups to and of Hawaii. He also erased what I felt were important facts about Hawaii's history. How can this be fair and just for one person to erase the efforts of another, as if it is his property? Is the Hawaii Article site on wikipedia his and his alone? It is the silencing anothers' voice and the wiping out the efforts of another. I don't understand how this can be when the premise of wikipedia is for people to be able to contribute. I believe in what is right, fair and truthful. I am dismayed that an internet encyclopedia would be allowed to omit facts, history and truthful contributions because someone doesn't allow another to participate.

Much thanks for your time and consideration, Ilikea

Thank you[edit]

Hi Meelar,

Really sorry to have troubled you, I didn't know who to write to. It was either you or DropDeadGorgias, and Gorgias has helped me in working on the Hapa Article site, which is also part of my life. I am hapa, my family is hapa and many of my friends are hapa. I am really concerned about bias, slant and articles not showing all the facts and truth. Of course it is quite hurtful and unfair to have one's efforts wiped out by another. I notice that anything to do with Hawaii, Hawaiians, history, words, facts etc. are going to have some of the same people contributing and editing as on the Hawaii article site. I am a bit concerned about any other efforts I make to contribute. I am part Hawaiian, many of my elders were full-blood Hawaiian and I did learn about that part of my heritage, even though I am hapa Hawaiian. If this does not stop I may be deterred from contributing to this site.

Thank you sincerely, Ilikea


Text of articles removed due to copyright restrictions Thank you for the information. Again, I'd welcome any help on Talk:Phil Gingrey, as well as the article, so we can write a truly NPOV article that reports the facts. If you'd like to participate, that's the best place to go. I'd appreciate any suggestions you might have over wording and what to include. Best, [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 13:33, 2004 Jul 29 (UTC)

thanks, i come from the mexican electronic music scene and can contribute a lot in that area --Vate 15:48, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)

My vate entry has been deleted, although it was posted in the undeletion list :( This discourages me to contribute in wikipedia. The lesson or others: It doesnt mean it doesn exist if you don't know it --Vate 16:44, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Vate, your re-creating of the article was out of process. It was deleted back in Novemeber of 2003. Proper process to restore an article is to list it on Wikipedia:Votes for undeletion. Then, if concensus dictates that it should be restored, an admin will restore it. Since you decided to not follow this process, I deleted the article so as to restore correct process. - UtherSRG 16:53, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Nice Majors![edit]

I, too, am a double major in Economics and Political Science. I am just starting out here and love the concept. Right now I am doing a whole section on American Depositary Receipts, because they are a big part of what I do at work every day, but I plan to start putting in summaries of important legislation (there are quite a few red links for legislation on the SEC page. Hopefully it will be helpful to someone. Please feel free to comment on anything I write, because I would love the feedback.

Featured article Constitution[edit]

Meelar, I blundered across the nomination, went to look, made some edits, and only then noticed it was you. That reminded me that I'd come across a recent book and wanted to tell you about, but that it had fallen out of my head. Oh well... The book is 1912, by Chace(?) and amplifies my point (in our earlier exchange) about the source of the political distortion we have been having in recent years.

Did you ever look up that Thucydides extract. I reread it a week or so ago, and it still gives me chills. Good luck with your papers, if you have any this summer, and good luck to us all in the election upcoming. Best wishes, ww 18:40, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)

m, I've done an edit sweep and didn't notice any gross errors of fact. But then I don't keep a Constitutional History in my head. the main missing bit that I noticed was lack of context. Why is there a prohibitiion against importing slaves after such and such. Why are states with small pops given so much power? And so on. But that's not a descriptive hole for this sort of article. One can argue that this is heads down facts maam, just the facts. But there should be something about context on WP, is there? ww 20:32, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the Welcome Chief[edit]

Two items[edit]

1. I wanted to commend you for your exemplary following of fair use--justifying, listing sources, etc. I just used a DVD cover you uploaded as an example for another user.

2. The proper way to archive your talk is to create a subpage, not have it in the article space. For example, you coud use User talk:Dlloyd/archive 1. Just notify me (on my talk page, please?) and I'll perform the necessary moving and deletion. Thanks, [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 14:12, 2004 Aug 2 (UTC)

Meelar,

Thanks for the feedback !

If you could move my talk page for me I'd appreciate it. (And thanks for tidying up some of my articles too...).
