Welcome

Hello, Alex lbh, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like working here and want to continue. Check out the Simplified Ruleset. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at the Guide to layout, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and if you can't find your answer there, check the Village pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — if you have any questions, or just want to say hello, feel free to contact me on my Talk Page or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Additional tips:

Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:

• Always use wikiquette
• Write from a neutral point of view
• If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills, try the Sandbox.
• Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
• You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
• Always use edit summaries when editing pages.
• You might want to add yourself to the New User Log
• If your first language isn't English, try Contributing to articles outside your native language
• Full details on Wikipedia style can be found in the Manual of Style.

Happy editing!

Hmmm

I think you are reading far too much into the phrase. The Foundation clearly does govern and manage the projects. I am not sure what you might find alarming or new or surprising about that, and so this is why I think you are reading too much into the phrase.--Jimbo Wales 09:11, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Allegations of Chinese apartheid AfD

Following your recent participation in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Allegations of French apartheid, you may be interested to know that a related article, Allegations of Chinese apartheid, is currently being discussed on AfD. Comments can be left at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Allegations of Chinese apartheid. -- ChrisO 16:04, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: Your request for Checkuser

Hi, I regret to inform you that a checkuser declined your request, most probably due to privacy reason. If you feel threatened, you better go to the police and ask them to contact the foundation. You may contact a volunteer by email at info-en@wikimedia.org. Thanks. If you need further help, you can contact me on my talk page or email me in French or in English. -- lucasbfr ^talk 00:25, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry if you felt I was too abrupt. I assure you it was not my intention at all. I can be abrupt in my summaries of decline reasons. I did not wish to demean the abuse you're suffering at all. I've suffered similar threats in the past, and I understand that they're scary and very worrying. If you contact the police and they request the information, do point them in our direction (perhaps to Mike Godwin), and we'd be happy to help you. --Deskana (talk) 18:05, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Image:Trumann hiroshima.ogg nominated for featured sound, but need your help

Hello, the audio file you uploaded to commons at 15:25, 30 July 2005, Image:Trumann hiroshima.ogg, has been nominated to be a featured sound, here. In order to be promoted according to the criteria more information is needed from you. This information is:

1. The date and venue of the recording, where they are recoverable;
2. The name(s) of the recordist/producer, and for historical recordings, a brief description of the recording equipment, where known;
3. Any editing that has been applied to the excerpt by the uploader, such as noise reduction by the uploader (aside from obvious fade ups and fade downs at the start and end), and by others, where that information is recoverable;

Page protected

I've blocked the three users you've reported to AIV; since more will probably come, I've also semi-protected this page for 48 hours. I'll be heading offline, soon, but feel free to continue reporting problems if you have any. – Luna Santin (talk) 20:53, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

re User:84.102.229.42 report to WP:AIV

Hi. I have commented at AIV that perhaps the nature of the edits is too complex to be regarded as "obvious vandalism" and suggested it might be best brought up at WP:ANI - since it involves possible socking, ongoing discussions and article protection. Cheers. LessHeard vanU (talk) 10:16, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I was more concerned that blocking the ip wasn't going to resolve anything - and if it formed part of a larger matter then perhaps it would be best viewed in that context (at a more appropriate "counter"). Cheers. LessHeard vanU (talk) 10:50, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

OK. Bradipus (talk) 11:14, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
