Welcome to Wikipedia!

Dear OfficePuter: Welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:

Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user talk (discussion) page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. A third option is to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator.

One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with four tildes (~~~~). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD!   -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 15:33, 18 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

CfD nomination of Category:Methodist artists

edit

I have nominated Category:Methodist artists (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) for deletion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at the discussion page. Thank you. After Midnight 0001 00:59, 30 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Latter Day Saint categories

edit

Hi, I've noticed that you have changed some of the Latter Day Saint categories to move them out of being classified as "Christian". Latter Day Saints self-identify as Christians, and although some Christians do not view them as such, a consensus decision has been made in categorizing Latter Day Saint articles that they will be included as a branch of Christianity. Thanks! Ubi Terrarum 10:24, 5 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Recreation of deleted material

edit

Hi Wayne

Please do not recreate articles or categories which have been deleted after a deletion discussion, such as you did with Category:Catholic primates not in communion with Rome, deleted after this CfD. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:46, 5 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

not understanding this. Think perhaps I am confused with someone else. Who is wayne?? Please help to know this better.

Decline reason:

Inadequate reason. See here. — Sandstein 05:19, 7 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

I believe I am confused with someone else: wayne? Perhaps he/she is someone on another computer in this facility? I do not believe I do anything wrong. Sockpuppet? I simply did what wikipedia suggests: register. Now I am blocked? I believe this "blocked" is unjustified. Please provide relief. Much appreciation.

Decline reason:

Your editing pattern is remarkably similar to that of blocked user Pastorwayne (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). Accordingly, the blocking admin's assumption that you are he is reasonable. — Sandstein 12:42, 7 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Help me understand

edit

What is "editing pattern?" How is "remarkably similar?" Use of words? Common interests? I interest in Christian people. Biography? This other person has similar interest? Please help understanding. Much appreciation.
