Sir Ophiuchus

Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello Sir Ophiuchus, welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed nobody had said hi yet... Hi!

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

You might like some of these links and tips:

• some General guidance.
• Tutorial and the Manual of Style.
• Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
• Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~).
• Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board
• Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
• Use the Show preview button
• Provide an Edit summary
• Add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload
• Take a look at Consensus of standards
• Create a User page

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Wikipedia Boot Camp, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing! -- Alf ^melmac 18:45, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome - I've been around for a while and nobody said hi! The links are great too. --Sir Ophiuchus 18:47, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Well better late than never :) --Alf ^melmac 19:01, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Shoggoth on the Roof

Hello. I just cut "purportedly written by a member of the society who was later institutionalised" down to "written by a member of the society" - "later institutionalised" just seemed like a standard Cthulhu joke that would need to be boringly overexplained to be encyclopaedic, and after removing it, "purported" was no longer necessary to the sentence (the society freely admitting that the musical was written by one of their members, so far as I can tell).

If the writer genuinely was institutionalised, then I apologise and it should maybe go back in with greater context, but if it's just a throwaway joke, we should either drop it or overexplain it, and I'd go with dropping it. --McGeddon 09:50, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I've edited the article to clarify that the authorship is credited rather than factual. We can't say anything about it being written by the heads of the HPLPS if this is carefully avoided in all official literature, but maybe they prefer that to be the case. --McGeddon 12:41, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for removing the notability and deletion tags - I was about to remove the latter myself. To be fair to those who added them, they had just seen my first draft, which was all of one line with one reference! Thanks again! Autarch (talk) 21:27, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

D&D articles for Wikipedia 0.7

Hi there!  :)

As someone who's worked on D&D and/or RPG articles before, I'm inviting you to participate in our goal to both improve articles that have been selected to be placed in the next Wikipedia DVD release, as well as nominate more to be selected for this project. Please see the WikiProject D&D talk page for more details. :) BOZ (talk) 18:49, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Welcome!  :) My note above may be outdated, but you are definitely still welcome at our Wikiproject. There are plenty of articles that need working on if you desire to help out; otherwise there is plenty to read about if that is all you seek. BOZ (talk) 07:28, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Heh, thank you for noticing. :) Yes, it has been a while, but I've only recently come out of a Wikipedia-gap as far as editing goes, so I thought I'd involve myself a bit more. Please feel free to let me know if there's anything specific needs editing work, and thanks for taking an interest! --Sir Ophiuchus (talk) 11:55, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

It's a (basically) free Wiki, so I'm going to have to wind you up and let you go! :) The Wikiproject page has a bunch of resources that should push you in the right direction. If you're not sure where to go, or if you are looking for suggestions, feel free to stop by the project's talk page (or mine) and see if anyone's got any pointers for you.
