Welcome to the Wikipedia[edit]

Welcome, newcomer!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:

First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
Remember to use a neutral point of view!
If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: ~~~~.

Best of luck, and have fun!

Single photon emission computed tomography[edit]

Hi! I have read the article with the heading written above and have been wondering whether SPECT and PET are specific cases of computed axial tomography. Can you clarify this in the articles or on my talk page? Thanks.

I also would invite you to vote whether to move "computed axial tomography" to "computed tomography". The voting is taking place here. Happy wiki-ing! --Eleassar777 13:12, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Technetium[edit]

If you missed it somehow: Technetium is currently the featured article on the Main Page. --Eleassar777 07:15, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

DYK[edit]

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Common Milkweed, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently-created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Taxoboxes[edit]

If you don't know the authority for a species, you can use {{Taxobox section binomial simple}}. This allows articles without an authority to be found and fixed. Gdr 14:38:32, 2005-08-09 (UTC)

Suggestions[edit]

Hey, about your articles... Do you know how to redirect? like with scientific names, just create the article and type #REDIRECT [[Insert text]] (or just click the #R icon above the edit box). Say the common name is blah, and the scientific name is Labla blah, you create a Labla blah article, type #REDIRECT [[blah]], and save. Then typing "Labla blah" automatically takes to to the blah article.

As for listing species, it would be a good idea to link ALL the scientific names (not just the articles that already exist) instead of the common name (it just looks better, since not all species have common names), and common names can be confusing. It's easier if you link the scientific names. And don't link both of them, as that would be redundant. Thanks! --TheAlphaWolf 01:10, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Developing the Brimstone page[edit]

Hi, AJ

You had established and are the sole contributor to wikipage Brimstone (butterfly). This butterfly is also an important butterfly of the Indian Himalayas. We have a List of Butterflies of India (Pieridae) as part of the Wikiproject for Indian butterflies under Wikipedia: WikiProject Arthropods. We have one image and some information to add, but that would require us to convert the format to a structured field guide type of format. Your text would be merged into ours. We would also move the page to Gonepteryx rhamni. While IMHO that this is a positive development, I want your prior concurrence since you were there before us.

Do see some pages of our work - Red Pierrot Talicada nyseus is a good example of what we want the average article to look like. As far as a 'good' articles go, we would like to bring things to the standard of Plain Tiger Danaus chrysippus and Common Mormon Papilio polytes.

Please drop me a yes/no line on my talk page. If you agree and like what we do to this page, perhaps we can cooperate with other pages.

Best wishes, AshLin 15:24, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

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.
