User talk:ACW
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia!
Here are some tips to help you get started:
- Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
- If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
- Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
- Remember Wikipedia:Neutral point of view
- Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!
Good luck!
P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
Boo.

substubs
[edit]I noticed that you created the article Warlpiri language and tagged it as a substub. The substub template recently failed a vote at WP:TFD and has been deleted. The article you created has been sorted, but when time comes for you to create another article please use either {{stub}} or an approriate category specific stub template. --Allen3 talk 20:18, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
- Oops. Sorry about that, and thanks for covering my butt. I didn't realize that substubs were passe. ACW 20:56, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
Georgian
[edit]User:Func seems to have been working on this very sort of thing (customizing the Insert: line under the edit window), see User talk:Func#Adapting your nupatrol.js for a different purpose. Give it a try and see if it works for you for IPA, and then adapting it to Georgian shouldn't be too hard (see also {{Unicode chart Georgian}}). -- Curps 00:04, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
Hindi spoken article
[edit]I have created a spoken Hindi article on Hindi wiki. It is about Indo-European language family. Those interested, especially the foreigners learning Hindi, may wish to look at the page and listen to the spoken article here : hi:हिन्द-यूरोपीय भाषा-परिवार. Please tell me if you face any problem.

Jennifer, List of people by name, and, e.g., Allen (surname)
[edit]I ran into some contention when I started excising lists from name pages (I broadened to include surnames that were linked from the given names I started working on). There is some discussion currently taking place about lists of people by surname on the surname pages at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages)#Hndis needs its own Manual, if you are interested. -- JHunterJ 12:46, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
- And, FWIW, the anonymous user on Talk:Jennifer did first restore the whole list, but he or she also blanked the talk page around the same time, and I undid both. -- JHunterJ 00:27, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Jack Gescheidt
[edit]![](http://up.wiki.x.io/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on Jack Gescheidt, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. HG | Talk 05:20, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
