Please don't edit other people's user pages and... Welcome!

Hello, AtheWeatherman, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Okay, but just remember that Wikipedia isn't a social networking site. You might want to edit some articles that inerest you; trust me, it's more fun and fulfilling. If you have any problems with Wikipedia there is an adoption programme, which has helped me a lot. Meaty♠Weenies (talk) 20:01, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed! Friendliness is the most important prinipal of Wikipedia. Stops you from getting caught up in all sorts of nasty situations. If you want any more info on the adoption programme or anything else I'll try to help you out. Meaty♠Weenies (talk) 20:07, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much for the barnstar! My first one aswell... Woo! Meaty♠Weenies (talk) 21:01, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's great to see you're starting to edit articles now. Keep it up and remember, BE BOLD! Meaty♠Weenies (talk) 15:04, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your userpage[edit]

You seem to be doing a lot of work on your userpage, Andrew. If you want I could organise your userboxes into a table (so they are aligned) or maybe you could use an infobox like the one used on my userpage for them. If you want me to help you out in any way just reply! Meaty♠Weenies (talk) 16:43, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try my best to explain. First thing you so is insert this:{| class="wikitable", then on the line below you must put a vertical line: | and then the userbox straight after it e.g |{{user age|15}}. Then hit enter to go down a line again and do the same as above: put a vertical line: | and then your userbox like this: |{{user name|Andrew}}. You should do this one more time to give your three userboxes on your top row. Then to start your second row hit enter to get another line and insert |- after that you can do the same as above (do three more userboxes) then for your third row do |- and then another three userboxes. Keep going until your finished and then take another line and insert |}. I originaly did your boxes in groups of four, but it didn't quite fit, so then I did then in threes. To see the formatting just click edit on your userpage. Meaty♠Weenies (talk) 17:36, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits[edit]

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 18:03, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Everdaze[edit]

A tag has been placed on Everdaze requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

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. tgies (talk) 12:47, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

May 2008[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Everdaze, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Badgernet (talk) 13:05, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome messages[edit]

Hi, you're leaving new users welcome messages - that's great. Make sure they go on the User talk page, as only edits there will bring up the "You have new messages" banner. Edits made on their user page won't, and they won't immediately know they have received your message otherwise. Cheers. WilliamH (talk) 11:37, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Your comment[edit]

Thanks :). I love the user name, I'm a weather freak. RedThunder 21:54, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate Image:Florida Sunrise 099.jpg[edit]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Florida Sunrise 099.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Florida Sunrise 099.jpg is a duplicate of an already existing article, category or image.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Florida Sunrise 099.jpg, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice[edit]

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!
