Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

Here are some other hints and tips:

• I would recommend that you get a username. You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of having a username. (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)
• When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the date.

If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my Talk page, or type {{helpme}} on this talk page and a user will help you as soon as possible. I will answer your questions as far as I can. Again, welcome!

Thank you again for contributing to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. Yuser31415 03:31, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Workplace Parking Levy

Hi, you deleted my input about Nottingham Workplace Parking Levy to the article Road pricing‎. I thought I'd researched well and it seems to me that the Transport Act (2000) proposes two road pricing solutions for the UK: congestion charging (using the London model) and WPL. Why do you think WPL is not road pricing? Kind regards --Patek (talk) 00:48, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

As far as I understand it, road pricing applies to vehicles moving around and using the roads, rather than controlling or charging their parking arrangements. Parking controls as a means of reducing road traffic in an area are an old technique, and I believe they were in use (at least in the UK) before 'road pricing' was ever conceived of or discussed. Also, WPL does not fit with the rest of the article, which talks exclusively about projects and mechanisms for charging moving vehicles, to enter specific zones or to use certain roads, and without the use of conventional toll booths. Parking controls (including WPL), although a method of traffic control, are not road pricing. Midlandstoday (talk) 02:06, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Datasheets

Back in 2007 you had commented about chemical data sheets. Yes there are many types of datasheets. Certainly an MSDS is by its title a datasheet. Also Methanol (data page) and many others are types of data sheets. FYI Grantmidnight (talk) 21:11, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for contributing to the article Joint European Torus. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. Please help by adding more sources to the article you edited, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the claims (see here for how to do inline referencing). If you need further help, you can look at Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse, or just ask me. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 19:45, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
