Hello,
- Added, due to error in red, but actual work will need to be handled tomorrow or Saturday, due to shear exhaustion, though I will say that, in general, I will need to read the Help Page(s) and compare them with Templates on different Word Processing programs, both ones I like to use on Linux, and those I've been forced to use, kicking and screaming, in office environments, on Microsoft platforms. And I've been wondering why I'm not a "salable commodity, for my ability to promote Linux (including being a Consultant, Contractor, and/or an Employee, but for lots less than the confusing, and high amount charged for EVERY computer, used (for example) in a huge room, with many people risking Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. *****
[what I normally use for separators, not Sea7kenp (talk) 05:07, 19 April 2013 (UTC) (what I had to actually LOOK FOR on my American Keyboard].
I am Kenneth Wayne Parker, living in Seattle, WA, USA. I am new to editing Wikipedia, though have done adminstration to email lists, as well as performing Networking and Security issues for computer servers, in homes, small businesses, and even some corporation. The only forms of this that I actually "made money on", were "day jobs", on Big Iron computers, such as your own articles [1]. Work on Linux, Apple and Microsoft computers tend to be more Pro Bono.
I've tended to not actually edit pages themselves, but add to the "talk" pages, because I'm getting "timid" in my old age. :-) (Are smileys forbidden from articles and talk pages? Is something like <humor>you know how it is, being a walking, talking space nebula</humor> better? I probably need to purchase a book like "Wikipedia For Dummies", or "Idiot's Guide to Wikipedia". Bear with me until then, because I tend to be "behind the times".
I live in Seattle, am on a veryItalic text limited income (that gives shoestrings a bad name). All right, first question: Will this look good, or will there be words like "very" and "Italic text", just because I pressed a couple of buttons? If so, I'd need to ask if there's any way to use an alternative editor like "nano" or "emacs", and then "upload the results? I'm going to date myself by saying my first computer job was in August, 1974, at Fireman's Fund, in San Francisco. I'm getting "prematurely elderly"? Just like giving up on driving cars after a certain age, am I supposed to give up editing Wikipedia [talk] pages? I'm going to show how I usually "sign" articles, and then try to decode the meaning of the "suspicious characters, including the one that's to the left of the numeral "1", with Shift used to produce the character "~". (Note: I'm better at "Linux Kernel Hacking" than "writing documentation". This followed me all the way through my career, and lowered a couple of Performance Reviews).
I have "a web domain" to myself: [2]. The main reason I put that there, THIS time, was that people frequently ask for a web site that they can look at. In this case, the main, static page is new, but it links to a BLOG that's been out there for a long time, a Google Blogspot.
Now for how I "usually" sign a post:
Thank you and Best Regards,
Kenneth W Parker, Seattle, WA.

(Please help: What is the format of what's added to those four Tildas? It's not clear below).
P.S. The relevant "Talk" pages, where I may have fallen down (but am so tired, I HAVE to go to sleep), were for articles, "Hygiene" and "Racial Hygiene". The "complaint" that "inspired the talk pages" was that there seemed to be no "cross reference" between them (i.e. footnotes or a dis-ambiguouation page, like I see so often. Both have a common word, "Hygiene". No other pages, besides these three, have been updated by me tonight. Thanks!
