Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello Rictus, 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.
• Create a User page.
• Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~).
• Add yourself to the New user log.
• Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
• Be bold!
• Use the Show preview button
• Provide an Edit summary.

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 05:50, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Macromedia

Hi Rictus - your contributions are appreciated. On a personal note: experience hows that mergers of this size need to be handled conservatively; e.g. Netscape and AOL in 1999. Jbetak 19:36, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi -- thanks for your comment. I just checked too and you are right! MACR is being reported as an unknown symbol by Fidelity and Yahoo! finance as well. This is a lot faster than I'd have expected. I had some AT&T Wireless shares before the Cingular merger and although AT&T Wireless shares stopped trading when the merger was consummated, it took the boards several weeks to delist them.

Your opinion would be greatly appreciated

Hello there, I am a fellow member of Wikiproject jazz. I was wondering, if you had a moment to spare, if you would be willing to give your opinion on a matter at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 June 15 concerning a category I created. The category is [[Category:Jazz musicians of New Orleans]], and it has been proposed that the article be merged with Musicians of New Orleans and American jazz musicians. This is precisely why I created the category, because it seemed to me the birthplace of jazz music and continous modern symbol of jazz certainly deserves a category unto itself. Regardless of your opinion, I would greatly appreciate your input there so as to have a discussion over the matter. Thanks. (Mind meal 03:24, 15 June 2007 (UTC))

New categories for jazz musicians

Hello fellow member of Wikipedia:WikiProject Jazz! I am delivering this message to all members of the project to inform them of a major addition to the evolution of this project. Please see Category:Jazz musicians by genre to familiarize yourselves with the new categories for jazz musicians. Most of the genre categories contain sub-genres in their drop-down menus, so be sure to open them up! I am sending this to everyone to speed up the population of these categories. The sub-genres have been carefully researched to ensure they belong under their corresponding "mother genre"! And please, when in doubt do not categorize something via an assumption. Well, that about covers it! Any help in this regard will be greatly appreciated.(Mind meal 05:35, 25 June 2007 (UTC))

Jazz theory

It's a good idea for an article. I haven't read it yet, but I look forward to doing so. Let me know if there's any way I can help out.BassHistory (talk) 02:50, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

I'd love to help you out with this article (if you need any help). However, I think you may want to check out the article for Jazz harmony before you do too much more and try to prevent too much overlap. Good luck. If you need citation from the Eddine Bahha book, I've got it and would love to share. Theadorerex (talk) 21:00, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
