Some cookies to welcome you! :D

Welcome to Wikipedia, Sethward! I am Jet and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Jet (talk) 05:10, 26 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hey there!

I'm the founder of the Pixies taskforce, and it's great that you're interested in editing Pixies articles. Where would you like to help out, and what kind of references do you have? The current collaboration is Kim Deal (in an effort to get all Pixies members to FA status), but you can work on anything you want to. CloudNine (talk) 23:21, 26 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
I can help collaborate on any article that needs it, but I don't have any specific references, other than the music itself. Sethward (talk) 15:57, 28 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

I'd recommend getting a book like Fool the World: The Oral History of the Pixies. Not only is it a great read (possibly one of the best music books I've read), but you'll definitely be able to contribute to Pixies articles and learn a lot at the same time.

"I've gotten into communication states with cats where I know I heard their voices in my head and we'd sit around and have conversations with each other. Like me and one cat there, one cat there and one cat there and I would sit there for like three hours talking to them before I realized 'I can't believe I've been talking to cats for three hours.'" - John Frusciante

  3. "Hide trusted users" checkbox option on watchlists and related/recent changes (RC) pages
  4. Real-Time Recent Changes App for Android
  5. Shortcut for patrollers to last changes list

Further, there are more than 20 proposals related to Watchlists in general that you may be interested in reviewing. (and over 260 proposals in all, across many aspects of wikis)

Thank you for your consideration. Please note that voting for proposals continues through December 12, 2016.

Note: You received this message because you have transcluded {{User wikipedia/RC Patrol}} (user box) on your user page. Since this message is "one-time-only" there is no opt out for future mailings.
