Allemannster

Welcome to the Wikipedia!

Welcome to the Wikipedia, Allemannster! And thanks for fixing the Wikilink over on the Science fiction article. Hope you enjoy editing here and becoming a Wikipedian! Here are a few perfunctory tips to hasten your acculturation into the Wikipedia experience:

• Take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial and Manual of Style.
• When you have time, you can peruse The five pillars of Wikipedia, and assume good faith, but keep in mind the unique style you brought to the Wiki!
• Always keep the notion of NPOV in mind, be respectful of others' POV, and remember your unique perspective on the meaning of neutrality is invaluable!
• If you need any help, post your question at the Help Desk.
• Explore, be bold in editing, and, above all else, have fun!

And some odds and ends: Boilerplate text, Brilliant prose, Cite your sources, Civility, Conflict resolution, How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Pages needing attention, Peer review, Policy Library, Utilities, Verifiability, Village pump, Wikiquette, and you can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes: ~~~~.

Best of luck, Allemannster, and have fun! Ombudsman 01:33, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Thumb_6605_dolly_read_03.jpg

RE: MKA

The edit I undid, as you can see in the link, corrects what I can only assume is either a test (hopefully) or actual vandalism, namely changing the title of "Midway" to "Midpay". ≈ The Haunted Angel 20:38, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Alright then. I'm trying to stay out of the release date discussion, as I do not know the actual date at all, so I'll leave the date debate up to you - it's just that "Midpay" bit I intended to revert. Happy editing :) ≈ The Haunted Angel 20:42, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Not much really, other then to provide relevant sources that back you up, and to talk it out on the talk page. ≈ The Haunted Angel 21:12, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I have given the user the correct warning template, to hopefully stop this edit war from continuing. I don't see why exactly IGN isn't a reliable source, but considering you have a source, where he has none, it looks like things are in your favour. Even though I haven't seen you make any personal attacks yet, my guess is that if this carries on (s/he is already bordering on personal attacks) it may start to get out of hand - so remember to keep cool, although as I said, I haven't seen you be anything but yet :) ≈ The Haunted Angel 21:50, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

That should be more then enough now - the anon user is now on his/her final warning, so either they will have to cease the what is now becoming vandalism, or simply be banned. I'll keep an eye out :) ≈ The Haunted Angel 22:05, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I don't mind - as his/her removal would now be classed as vandalism, I don't think you are in violation of the 3RR. If I do see him/her make any such edits, I will remove them on sight, however. And no problem ^_^ ≈ The Haunted Angel 22:11, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

It appears to have stopped for the moment, but is likely to continue soon... for the moment, all is ok, but if he continues, I will have to start throwing warning templates at him. ≈ The Haunted Angel 09:30, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
