User talk:Alphalife
Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Alphalife! My name is Ryan, aka Acetic Acid. I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:
- How to edit a page
- Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk Pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? :)
I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a nice day. Sincerely, Ryan 06:09, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
- Love the Wiki, and the Wiki loves you back. O_O Yeah, you're welcome. :P Ryan 06:15, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
- In addition to the joy that comes from making useful contributions, there are several game-related activites to do here.
If you go to the Sandbox, there are some games you came play, listed on the right. There is also Wikifun, a scavenger hunt-like game, and Mind Benders, a list of brain teasers. Ryan 06:52, August 5, 2005 (UTC) Enjoy! :)

The MAX stations are now done!!
[edit]- Hi Nick!
- Yup, found Overlook Park omitted. The Portland Transit Mall is also missing... Perhaps we should add it?
- May move on to clean up the Vancouver SkyTrain next... Still haven't got thru all the Portland stuff yet.
- Added Mt. Hood Freeway and been cleaning up some other stuff... Sent you an email, haven't heard back...
- Hey, I added the Portland Transit Mall page, just FYI. :) JordanRL 06:32, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Question, Sir?

Wikipedians in Oregon category
[edit]What's up? We need to really get that Portland Transit Mall thing started... Been busy adding a ton of stuff, mostly architectural things. I found out how to make Templates!!! Sorry I'm so bad at answering email and that stuff..
Cacophony informed me that there's a category for Oregon Wikipedians. You may want to add your user page to it. It is here: Category:Wikipedians in Oregon.
See ya round..

Thanks for being a part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon. Our first article we'll be improving to FAC status is, oddly enough, Oregon! Please visit Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Oregon to discuss the contributions you can make to improve Oregon to a FAC level article. the iBook of the Revolution 04:48, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
Metrication controversy
[edit]Hehe, well the text was written in a burst of frustration, so it's not as serious and argued as I would wanted it to be. Luckily the article is now in a lot better shape and the most dubious childish claims have been cleared out :-) --piksi (talk) 21:34, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
