Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello Fsiler, welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed nobody had said hi yet... Hi!

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.

You might like some of these links and tips:

• some General guidance.
• Tutorial 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
• Take a look at Consensus of standards
• Create a User page

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, Alf ^melmac 09:50, 23 September 2005 (UTC).

User page

Thanks for your message, I particularly like the fsm babel, never spotted that one before : ) Maybe you'd also like to add the Category:Wikipedians in Illinois and Category:Wikipedian musicians ? Alf ^melmac 11:52, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Unix template?

Why would the UNIX template link to Linux?Fsiler 10:31, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

I'm sorry, which Unix template? Is there a Unix template already?

If not, what's wrong with a template listing Unix-like OSes, where all linux distros occupy just one position? --tyomitch 13:07, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, I think I had a little bit of misunderstanding. I was under the impression that you proposed to make a generic "mostly POSIX-ish" category and then make the category link to Linux, which made little sense. I think Linux should be listed as a POSIX-ish OS, but there should be a separate category for linux distributions. They are, after all, all the same OS. Fsiler 06:52, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

That's almost exactly what I meant. Since we're discussing the nav template (not a category) there, "linking" and "listing" is the same thing: adding link to an article into the template.

What disgusted me in the current revision of Template:linux-distro is exactly that linux distros are listed in a way supposing each of them is a new OS. --tyomitch 15:00, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

template:user fsm

I'm calling out a posse, to fight for freedom of choice, to fight all those who think that only their opinion's right, template:user fsm was speedy deleted by an administrator without any cause or even discussion, I'm therefore putting it up for undeletion since people have put a jihad out against opinions in userboxes. As you were one of many people using the template, I'm trying to rally you into the posse. If you think the template should be returned to active status, put in a vote at Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Userbox_debates#template:user_fsm. Janizary 04:26, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Editorializing

It's a fact that Chief Illiniwek is not coming back. The board has said he's gone, and the NCAA isn't wavering on the issue. I object to you getting your panties in a bunch over something like this. Justinm1978 (talk) 13:48, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
