User talk:GiantSnowman/2006

Welcome! to Wikipedia!

Hello GiantSnowman, this is Exir Kamalabadi, and I hope that you are having fun with Wikipedia. First of all, welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit! Find something that can be improved, either in content, grammar or formatting, then fix it. Don't be afraid. Be bold! If you do something wrong, there is always someone who will clean up the mess.

Here are some links that you may find helpful:

• Be bold
• Introduction
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• The Tutorial, How to edit a page and the Manual of Style
• Picture tutorial
• Community Portal. You can get some work over there.
• The Five Pillars of Wikipedia, the Simplified Ruleset, and What Wikipedia is not
• Wikiquette, the Wikipedian etiquette

Here are also some tips that you might find useful:

• Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes
• Create a User page so that others can know you
• Add yourself to the New user log and the list of Wikipedians
• Go to the Village Pump or the Help Desk if you need Wikipedia related help, or the Reference Desk for general questions.

Finally, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page when you need help! Exir Kamalabadi^{Join Esperanza!} 01:30, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

About removing items from your talk page

Hi, I noticed that you removed the note I left you earlier today, asking you not to remove tags like {{categorize}} from articles unless you had solved the issue that the tag addressed. Although it's not a policy, it is common courtesy not to delete talk page items unless you have at least responded to them. From Wikipedia:Talk_pages#User_talk_pages:

Actively erasing non-harassing personal messages without replying (if a reply would be appropriate or polite) will probably be interpreted as hostile. In the past, this kind of behavior has been viewed as uncivil...

If you didn't understand something that I wrote, feel free to ask me. But in general, you should leave comments on your talk page (or on a talk page archive) unless they're harassment or personal attacks. | Mr. Darcy talk 01:33, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

No worries! Wikipedia:Wikiquette can take a little getting used to, and as you said, the technical aspects of the Wiki can too. If something else throws you, don't hesitate to put a question on my talk page. Thanks! | Mr. Darcy talk 14:52, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Unblock

To look into an autoblock, I'll need some more information -- original blockee, blocking admin, at least. Will check back in a bit. Luna Santin 01:01, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Bamse

Your Bamse the dog beat my Bamse the St Bernard by 6 minutes! I guess we should merge? -- ALoan (Talk) 18:06, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

UFWC

As you have been a major contributor, I was wondering what you think of what I've been doing at List of winners of Unofficial Football World Championships. Kevin McE 12:46, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Why are you putting references to Paul Batchelder on the James Batchelder entry ?

Footballers

I came across a few of your footballer articles during new article patrol. Could you please add sources to the article, so other editors know where the information comes from? - Mgm|^(talk) 19:25, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
