Say Hello

Hi there. Welcome. I know that Wikipedia can seem pretty confusing at first, so please come and say hello for some help to get you started. (Note - you might want to RIGHT click on that, and open in in a new tab or something - and when you get there, please wait a few minutes for a reply) Chzz ► 22:11, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Appealcourt. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person. You can talk to me right now. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. The tips below should help you to get started. Best of luck!

You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.

Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.

Play in your user area. For example, create User:Appealcourt/test.

Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.

When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

hi

hey hello,

I see you nominated the article I was working on for deletion. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/CETI Patterson Power Cell (2nd nomination)

That version on the page doesn't really reflect the real content. There are many more sources.

this is the actual article at this moment

this is the one you nominated for deletion

You couldn't have known it of course, but I would say I have sufficiently improved the article, there are still many things to fix, that was why I didn't put it live. If you could give me some time to do this would be nice. The article was a stable stub for many years. We are in no means in a hurry.

If you are worried about notablilty, the topic only had to be notable 15 years ago. And indeed it was on TV several times, it showed prominent scientists who claimed to have replicated the cell. Patterson is mentioned in the NYT and he has several wired articles about him. The other news sources are just there for further reading. We could suppress that information to avoid bias but it requires separate arguments for each ref. It takes work.
