Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello BlackWidower, welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some tips:

• Take a look at the Simplified Ruleset.
• Read the Tutorial, How to edit a page and the Manual of Style.
• Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
• Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~).
• Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board
• Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
• Use the Show preview button
• Provide an Edit summary
• Add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload
• Create a User page
• Be bold
• Ignore all rules

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alphax ^τεχ 05:28, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Re: Einstein's Theory Question

It depends on which object changes changes its motion to match the other. For example, if object A is considered stationary, then the deceleration of object B will slow down its clock relative to object A. If B is motionless, then A will be slow. I'm not quite sure what happens if both are accelerated to an average velocity, however. I would assume that neither's clock would appear slow.

Incidentally, it is possible to acertain which object is actually moving by measuring it against the constant 3k electromatic energy in "empty space" (apparently left over from the Big Bang) using the Doppler effect.

I guess I should be a good wikicitizen and post my source: [I'll add this when I can find the book. I got it in sixth grade. It was a PBS special (I think) celebrating the 70th (?) anniversary of Einstein. Anyone else can add it if they find it]. This book was designed to explain the Theory by using concrete examples and rational explanations, making the it more available to the layman. Perhaps this book would be useful for you. (I am not trying to call you a layman. This is just the first book that explained this question where I could understand it.)

Than or Then?

Your user page tells us all "I am better then you and I rock. :P"

Did you mean to write "I am better than you and I rock. :P"? The word "then" is usually used as an adverb and indicates sequence of events or relatives points in time. The word "than" is usually used as a conjunction and joins two ideas or objects to be compared.

You may want to carefully consider word choice before making silly, boastful statements. Errors in word choice tend to lessen the credibility of one's assertions of superiority. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tee Owe (talk • contribs) 04:48, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Actually, I was just having fun. Perhaps you should find better things to do then to criticize people on things that don't really matter. - BlackWidower (talk) 01:36, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:07, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
