Welcome!

Hey, Farosdaughter, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions. I hope you like the site and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful (some of them may sound stupid, but I recommend you check them out):

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style
• The Sandbox — A great place to experiment
• WP:Village pump — A good place for help

While editing, please remember:

• Be Bold, but not reckless in updating pages
• No personal attacks: be upset with the contributions, not the contributor

You should introduce yourself here at the new user log. I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name, the date, and the time.

For your first edits, I suggest searching for articles that you think might interest you. You could also be audacious and try a random page.

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome and happy editing! Cbrown1023 22:00, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Of couse it's okay to get involved in RCP and NPP. After all, it's the normally new users who created the pages that are deleted! I would also recommend it because if you ever want to become an administrator, your possible supporters will want to see that you have contributed to it... Cbrown1023 22:18, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your query. The only one of her novels that I have (re)written an article on is The Toll-Gate, and another editor came in and re-arranged it according to the recommended standards. So I'd suggest you have a look at that as a suggested framework. I'll follow your contributions with interest. Murray Langton 06:29, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edit to Sex and the law (diff) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior. Click here for frequently asked questions about the bot and this warning. // AntiVandalBot 22:34, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• I got your note. Your edit was, rather obviously, proper. I've restored your version and blocked the vandal involved. Bots such as this one are very useful, but are known to make the occasional mistake. If this happens, you should leave a message on the bot talk page about the mistake it made, so that its owner can improve it (which I have just done). Note that all bots are incapable of blocking you, and note that reverting blatant vandalism such as this is not subject to the 3RR. Happy editing! (Radiant) 22:49, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and welcome to the Novels WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to fiction books often referred to as "Novels".

A few features that you might find helpful:

• Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
• The announcement and open task box is updated quite regularly. You can watch it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WikiProject_Novels_announcements}} there.
  While you are updating your userpage, don't forget our userbox {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Outreach/User WPNOVELS}}.
• The project has a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but other methods are available.

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

• Starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines / template outlines some things to include.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the members, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 08:36, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was RC patrolling and was reverting vandalism to D12, which had been vandalised several times by different IPs and users. I went to the history and saw your name and the diff showed vandalism but I wondered if the was maybe an edit conflict gone wrong? I didn't want to slap a warning on your page without checking because you seem to be a good user. Thanks Farosdaughter 18:36, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for checking! I just removed a Death Prediction for 1/3/2007 and a nonsense line manually because no VandalProof rollback was available. I probably should have looked back further in the history, as you did. I do TRY to be a good user! :-) Happy New Year! Lmcelhiney 18:43, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the suggestion. It's a shame he didn't reply to us before archiving his page. Oh well, I'll try out the new script when I get home and can see how it works in Firefox. Happy editing! Katr67 18:11, 21 February 2007 (UTC) >[reply]

Hi, you're very much welcome. I've been pretty busy today so I haven't really have time to look into the matter. If I find anything, I promise you'll be the third to know though (first being me and second being Twinkle's creator ;). Happy editing and a good weekend to you to. Cheers -- Seed 2.0 22:07, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

P.S.: Thanks for saying thanks. Appreciate it. :)

You're very welcome! If we don't look out for one another, those pesky vandals might actually win! And yes, warm and glowy inside. It's so much fun to see what they come out with :D Marc ^Talk 22:42, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So I kinda made a very, very small start on Fair Use-ing some of the tagged images and I was wondering if the little notice warning of deletion underneath the picture in the articles goes away automatically or do I need to remove it manually? Thanks, --Farosdaughter 20:35, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Have to remove that manually, don't forget about removing the warnings from talk pages as well, use edit summary " Image concerned has rationale, thus considered good faith to remove warning". Sfan00 IMG 20:41, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I'm so terribly grateful for that! I'd hate to see the image go, because Miss Testaburger looks so beautiful in it. And yes, I will have a look at what can be done, so other images on the site don't have to worry about suffering from even the threat of deletion.

Thanks again!

Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays Farosdaughter. Have a Happy New Year !

^{Thedjatclubrock :) (T/C)}

Hello,

My name is Dr. John Marks and I am a member of the Biological Department at the University of Oxford, England. I have been doing a lot of research for my PHD on the gastro tract and I believe that gutted is more relevant wording on this topic.

Merry Christmas and a Grand New Year.

Seasons Greetings,

John Marks.

Do you have something against anal investigators? I refer you to this edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sex_and_the_law&diff=88509919&oldid=88508690

And by the way, my IP address seems to keep changing - but stays in the 92* range. Apologies.

Actually, if you had been alive as long as I have, or you have any sort of intelligence, you would know that the edit at Cross-Channel guns in the Second World War was a serious one. A cross channel gun was named poo, after the fictional charactor in AA Milnes book, along with a second called Winney.

I am starting to have serious doubts about this community.

John Marks.

Thank you for the clarification and apology - I am 79 years old and it is sometimes very hard for me to control my temper! But, from now on I will source my edits.

Thank you very much. 92.0.238.205 (talk) 14:22, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I have seen that you use huggle by the fact that you have automatically updated the huggle white list(it does this when closing huggle). I was wondering if you would add the category [[Category:Wikipedians who use Huggle]] to your user page so that it fills out and we know who actually uses huggle. If you do not want to you do not have to. I am also sorry if i have already talked to you about this or you no longer use huggle but i sent it to everyone that has edited the page since mid January. I hope we can start to fill out this category. If you would like to reply to this message then please reply on my talk page as i will probably not check here again.

Thanks for uploading Image:WendySP.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:23, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is the first article created through Wikipedia:Articles for creation to become Featured. To Kill a Mockingbird appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page as Today's featured article on July 11. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings reached Good Article status on July 1. Member news The members list is currently under review so we have moved all past active member's name to a Incumbent List and are doing a Project Roll Call. If you still consider yourself an active WP:NOVELS editor, please add your name back to the Active Members List. You may also wish to add your name to any of our many Project Task Forces. Task force news A Fantasy Literature task force has been proposed. Comments are welcomed on that proposal since we already have our own WikiProject Novels/Fantasy task force which is covered under our Novels WikiProject. Novel-related news Devil May Care, written by Sebastian Faulks ("writing as Ian Fleming"), has become Penguin Books fastest selling hardcover fiction title. It is the latest installment in the book series about British secret agent James Bond and was released to coincide with the 100th anniversary of late Bond creator Ian Fleming's birthday on May 28, 1908. Me Cheeta: the Autobiography, written by a ghostwriter, is the autobiography of Cheeta the Chimp who is listed in the Guinness World Records as the oldest recorded non-human primate at the age of 76. He has appeared in various movie roles which included twelve Tarzan movies and even battled addiction to alcohol and cigars. The book is not published until October 1, but judges for the 2008 Guardian First Book Award were sent a early version and were so impressed that they have included it on the 10-strong longlist. Stephenie Meyer, who is listed by Time magazine as one of its 100 most influential people of 2008, has decided not to continue with writing her draft for Midnight Sun after 12 chapters of the unfinished manuscript were leaked on the internet. Current debates Categories for Discussion has a series of discussions about whether to categorize certain specific types of fictional characters: double agents, dictators, characters with eidetic memory, etc. Advice from any Novels project members would be valuable in assisting them. WikiProject Media franchises aims to help editors with the coordination of articles within the thousands of media franchises which exist and has requested input from our members. They are currently discussing a naming convention for franchise articles. Since this may affect one or more articles in our Novel project, they would like to get opinions before implimenting any changes. From the Members With the Newsletter being almost three months overdue, I have decided to take on the position of Editor to make sure it reaches you regularly on time each month. The Newsletter is meant to inspire and encourage our team of Editors and so my goal shall be to make it informative and interesting each issue. We now have many positions vacant in our Project Team, so we are looking for members who have the time and interest to take on the various roles, details of which can be found at the Job Centre. Shortly a Coordinator nominations notice shall also be sent out to all members, which will commence the annual Coordinator selection process. Next month's Newsletter will include a message from our Coordinator Maria, who will introduce herself and speak on our forthcoming elections for extra Coordinators. Boylo (talk), Editor Collaboration of the Month This month's Collaboration has been selected by popular vote and is Look Homeward, Angel. The next collaboration is due for selection on 14 September, 2008 so cast your vote.
