User talk:Millard73

Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Millard73! 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, Acetic'^Acid 04:40, September 13, 2005 (UTC)

Regarding edits made during July 12 2006 (UTC) to Warrington

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages or sections with blank content. It is considered vandalism. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. Zsinj^Talk 20:25, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Note to all editors, including admins: I do not believe this edit was vandalism, as it was clearly not intentional. Zsinj tagged this as vandalism before Millard73 had a chance to correct an editing error. Millard73 has been a Wikipedia member since September 2005 and has been making quality edits to numerous articles for over six months. He does not deserve to be called a vandal by an overzealous peer. --Satori Son 21:14, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi! I, in no way, ment to incriminate you nor make you look like a negative contributor. In fact, I would like to ask you what may be a strange question: Do you use FireFox? --Zsinj^Talk 22:39, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I was using Firefox to try and edit the page. I haven't had a chane to go back and try it with something else. I should've noticed something was wrong. I wonder if there was a size limit to my editing box or some such...--Millard73 14:50, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

It's actually a minor bug with FireFox. It's rare, but does happen. :-) --Zsinj^Talk 16:02, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: Thanks

You're very welcome. Glad I could help! Will 16:14, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Wikimania in Atlanta!

Hi! I noticed your involvement on U.S. South-related articles, categories and WikiProjects, and I wanted to let you know about a bid we're formulating to get next year's Wikimania held in Atlanta! If you would like to help, be sure to sign your name to the "In Atlanta" section of the Southeast team portion of the bid if you're in town, or to the "Outside Atlanta" section if you still want to help but don't live in the city or the suburbs. If you would like to contribute more, please write on my talk page, the talk page of the bid, or join us at the #wikimania-atlanta IRC chat on freenode.org. Have a great day!

P.S. While this is a template for maximum efficiency, I would appreciate a note on my talk page so I know you got the message, and what you think. This is time-sensitive, so your urgent cooperation is appreciated. :) Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 07:30, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

If you have AIM or a messenger account like that, I can talk to you in real time like that. I'm so frazzled with work to write a really nice message explaining what we need here. My AIM name is on my profile, IM me anytime. Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 07:18, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

March 2008 edition of the WikiProject Germany newsletter

The Germany WikiProject Newsletter Issue II - March 2008
From the editor This is the second issue of WikiProject Germany's newsletter. The newsletter is intended to help all members of the project to keep up with new developments and coordinate new collaborative efforts. If you think anything should be featured in the next issue, please leave a note at the Newsdesk	Other areas where you can help Assessment requests: Some open Requests for assessment need to be answered. To see new assessment requests as they come in, you can watchlist the assessment page. More task forces and subprojects: As this WikiProject covers a very large topic area, it is helpful to add more task forces that focus on specific aspects of Germany. Currently, we have a Mainz task force, a Munich subproject and some joint task forces with other WikiProjects. Any project member is invited to start a new task force. Suggestions for possible topics: Transportation in Germany German politics (the political system of Germany and the biographies of its politicians) German Democratic Republic Be creative! If you have an idea, just suggest it on the project talk page (don't forget to watchlist it). Categorization: Uncategorized Germany stubs need to be categorized
Project news Cities and municipalities task force The task force dedicated to creating and improving articles on all German cities and municipalities is happy to announce that there are now (at least) stub articles for all municipalities of Germany. Now the task force is looking for help in fleshing these out a little bit. The current phase of activity for the task force is to copy in infoboxes from the articles in German Wikipedia. If you want to help, even just for a few articles, look at the instructions and links here Article Assessment: There are now way over 26.000 articles tagged as part of our Wikiproject and many still need either an importance or a quality assessment. Also there are many more out there that do need to be tagged like approx 8000 municipalities. If you would like to help take a browse through Articles needing Importance assessment or Articles needing a basic quality assessment.
