To sign your posts (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).
Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
Follow the Wikipedia:Simplified Ruleset

Remember Wikipedia:Neutral point of view
Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

I believe that's correct. It might also be a database hiccup. It's not a big deal either way, as it's been deleted again since then. Best, Meelar (talk) 21:26, July 11, 2005 (UTC)

VfD Gian Andrea Scarello

This [1] is worthy of WP:BJAODN, but it would get lost - BJAODN seems a bit flooded with photos at the moment. :) -- Solipsist 21:44, 25 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've gotten so many laughs out of that VfD.... I'm glad to have given one back! --Gunmetal 14:45, 26 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Angry nonsense article authors sound off!

DEAR USERS Gunmetal and Solipsist All Wikipedia- Community must know that you two are a "Tandem". "Family voting" . You are not serious Users, you offend the persons and you laugh about oder User ! Shame ! I hope that Wikipedia-Policies takes energetically part against your behavior and tandem-works (Perhaps also for other articles? ) .The suspicion has become truth.On this argument it is sure that you have provoked a damage to the article [2] and to the credibility of Wikipedia.

Unfortunately it is clearly that You have the technical possibility to manipulate the valid opinions and to cancel all what you want in Wikipedia "Delete-discussion".

Friends of Wikipedia, these two Users have not respected important rules abou the Wikipedia-Policies[[3]]

They are not reliable! Look for Neutral point of view[[4]] I propose that the article ( Serious )must be rewritten with neutral methods (Immediately) ! User:Peterloud

These are the words of someone way too obsessed with keeping his article about a non-noteworthy artist. I love dealing with people to whom it's always a conspiracy when they don't get their way. --Gun Metal 17:37, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You are obsess! The facts: You have undemocraticically cancelled the positive opinion of the others user. Many times You cancelling my, and others, user opinions! You have smashed the Wikipedia-laws. You have cancelled from arches our opinions ! You have cancelled the article against the regulated positive majority percentage from wikipedia ( it was "Keep" ) ! The test of Your "tandem" ? Simple: we find in this page ( Your Comment- page ). You speeches like a "Marcus Tullius Cicero" but you are very approximately on the argument ! You offend the persons and publishing its the name! You are without respect ! I hope that this artist discovers this article and denounces You! Whichever stupid people... understands... that you are you obsess ( like me ?) : You destroy what you want !? You are arrogating and you believe that we (honest user) we accept your lies and ignorance? I hope that someone has the possibilty to remove your to manipulate-works !

User:Peterloud

Regarding your "facts".

I have never, nor could I ever, "cancel" another's opinion. I can only offer my own opinion, which is just as valid as yours.

RAAR!!! I AM GUNMETAL SMASHER OF WIKILAWS!

I don't know what "cancelled from arches" means, but if it involves McDonalds, I'm in.

Just because another user comments on my talk page, that doesn't necesarrily mean we're the same person you know. Unless YOU'RE me as well!?!?!

I think the Cicero bit is actually an unintentional compliment.

I offend you, you offend me. Welcome to the wonderful world of Wiki.

I have an abundance of respect for members that have an established voting record (ie. those that don't head straight for a VfD as soon as they sign on, and only "contribute" to that single article.

In plain English, feel free to vandalize my talk page as much as you like, as I'm really enjoying it. But think about this, the angrier you get about the deletion of the Scarello page, the more likely it is that others will just assume you wrote it. There HAS to be a reason you're taking this so seriously. --Gun Metal 21:00, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Gunter and ernst.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Gunter and ernst.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 01:46, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Impiety (band)

Hi there. Would you mind having a look at this for me - Impiety (band)? I'm having some difficulties explaining the concept of WP:RS to an anon user who has just contravened 3RR. Cheers, Blackmetalbaz (talk) 13:01, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
