Welcome!

Hello, Crd721, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! 

Incidentally I reverted your edit to George W. Bush because unless you have a clear reference that states that this nickname is generally used pejoratively it's stating an opinion that does not fit Wikipedia's neutral point of view. -- Francs2000 12:39, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

re: meanings of what i wrote

The problem is that you are going to have to explain that to EVERYBODY. Remember this is an international encyclopedia, so there is an international audience. Do not assume that readers will be familiar with the abbreviations that you are using. That is why it is repeatedly said in Wikipedia's manual of style to avoid acronyms and abbreviations.

Hey there.

Just a note: did you know that you can use italics without using html coding (<i>TEXT</i>)? You can instead just use two apostrophes in place of the coding. For instance, typing something like this: I ''am going'' to go to the store will appear as: I am going to the store. You can read a little more at Wikipedia:Tutorial (Formatting). Hope this helps! See you around. --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 13:56, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:ElectoralCollege1960modernizedcolors-Large.png

Thank you for uploading Image:ElectoralCollege1960modernizedcolors-Large.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you created this image yourself, please look at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#For image creators, select one of those tags, and add it to the image. To do that, simply go to Image:ElectoralCollege1960modernizedcolors-Large.png, click "edit this page", and add the appropriate tag. Be sure to remove the current tag indicating a lack of licensing!

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me at User talk:Angr or at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. —Angr 20:17, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Death Valley record low

Someone changed the record low for Death Valley to 0 and I deleted it because I knew it was wrong right away. I didn't know until I looked in the history that you had put the correct value there originally. So I restored the correct value, but I deleted the sentence saying that it is one of the largest temperature spreads in North America because it is definitely not ... almost any place located north and east of Death Valley will have a similarly large temperature spread, and getting larger towards the north.

Invitation to Meetup/Seattle6, a focus group

Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington (Seattle campus), and my group is reaching out to Wikipedians in the Puget Sound area. We're hosting a focus group designed to gather information on what Wikipedians would like to know about each other when interacting on Wikipedia. Our end goal is to create an embedded application that helps people quickly know more about others' history and activity on Wikipedia, and we feel our design will be much more useful if it's based on insights of users like you.

I'm hoping that the chance to help out local researchers, to engage in lively face-to-face discussion with other Seattle Wikipedians, and to contribute to Wikipedia in a new way will entice you to join us. The session lasts 2 hours and snacks are provided. Sessions will be held on UW Seattle campus - directions will be sent after registration. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!

Willing and able to help us out? RSVP here. Want to know more? Visit our user talk page . Please help us contact other local Wikipedians, too! Commprac01 (talk) 21:45, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

NEW CATEGORY PAGE

Hello Washington-user!! What do you think of this category?
Either on a scale of 1-10 or with commentary.
Let me know through the "Special:EmailUser/" section. #TTiT# 12:38, 14 August 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by The-Traveller-in-Tacoma (talk • contribs)

Leap Week Calendars

I see that in the opening section of Leap week calendars you put in an example to clarify what is meant by exploiting the fact that 400 Gregorian years have 20871 weeks. I reverted it because the example seemed to interrupt the flow of the sentence and also although, a calendar using your the example has been proposed, it has not been considered notable enough to include in wikipedia. I think it is sufficient to let the calendars linked next serve as examples. Karl (talk) 10:21, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Seasons

Your recent edits to the four seasons are factually correct, but I think that it might be better to include your distinctions lower down, in the paragraphs on period, and remove all reference to day-length in the lead. (I considered doing this some time ago, but restricted my edit to the "weasel words": "marked by" which were designed to cover all definitions, but clearly fail to convey what I intended.)

December 2012

Hello, I'm SummerPhD. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Keith Olbermann, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. SummerPhD (talk) 13:42, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
