Welcome to Wikipedia

Let me be the first to welcome you and commend you on your enthusiasm and ability to follow instructions. The Wikipedia mantra is BE BOLD. For me at least, just making an account took a great deal of courage. The next logical step in your Wikipedia indoctrination is to energize your home page. It will serve as an excellent place to learn some of the basic wiki-codes without dorking up an article. Editing skills will require some experimentation and self teaching. The easiest way to start is to visit others and “steal” some ideas. By that - I mean click the edit tab and see their html codes which you can copy and paste into yours. CAREFUL --- don’t edit their page…. COPY not cut!!!!! You can then adjust it to reflect your own personal style. Feel free to be creative. Try to provide some insight into who you are while still maintaining your Anonymity. Personally I like the community’s use of user boxes to provide some insight into your way of thinking.

August 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Romang language, did not appear to be constructive and has been removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Can I assume there is a logical explanation for changing an article on Roman language to butterflies???? --JimmyButler (talk) 02:59, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User Page

User page looks fine; with the minor exception for the section for the "Wikigang". I would recommend copying all the members from the Project Page; rather than the incomplete list from copy/pasted from mine.--JimmyButler (talk) 15:36, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Adoption

Hi Amitampocco my name is Lordoliver † you seem like a wonderful person and meet all of my criteria for Adoption and I would like to offer to Adopt you if you would like to accept. God Bless.

Adoption, redux

Still up for adoption? Ling.Nut ^{(talk—WP:3IAR)} 05:08, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, let's do it. I'll meet you at Lymphangioma. I live in Taiwan, so I probably go to bed at or near the time you eat lunch... and am often online when it's early-ish or late-ish in the States... Ling.Nut ^{(talk—WP:3IAR)} 16:11, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm looking at the article now, and I have several suggestions. It may look like a lot of things, but if you think of them as a "to do" list (or steps on a staircase, or whatever image you prefer) and tackle them one by one—step by step—rather than all at the same time, it won't be too hard to do... Old, stupid joke: How did Sally eat the elephant? One bite at a time.

Wikipedia has groups of users dedicated to the coverage of a single field or area. These groups are called WikiProjects, and you can usually find a link to the relevant wikiproject(s) for an article on its Talk page... Many of these projects offer guidelines regarding the consensus that has arisen regarding the most logical or useful layout of articles in that area. The wikiproject for your article is (of course) Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine, and it has a project-specific Manual of Style at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (medicine-related articles). The relvant section would be the one titled Diseases/disorders/syndromes. Whenever possible, you should try to follow that organizational structure for Lymphangioma.
Have you ever used Google book search? Perhaps I can show you a few tips and tricks for doing research on your topic.
Another important place to look is Wikipedia:Layout. I suspect the external links section and the {{Vascular tumors}} template may be in the wrong place... are they?
I have always thought that the very first section (the WP:LEAD) is probably the most important one.
Right now, I only wonder about the use of bullet points in Lymphangioma. Doesn't it look a bit odd to have three bullet points beside each other? If somethng looks like it may be wrong, then it may be wrong. :-)
The article may rely a bit too heavily on a list-like structure as well... see Wikipedia:Embedded list

Lymphangioma section quoted

Hi, I'm really sorry but I had to remove an entire section of text from your article. The information has hasn't disappeared; it's still available both in the article's Page history and in the original source. I had to rmv the section because (according to Wikipedia:Non-free content) quotations of copyrighted text must be brief, and may be used to illustrate a point, establish context, or attribute a point of view or idea. using a single quotation to form an entire section of the article is not brief, and does much more than the three things listed... please let me know how i can help you. I'm sorry I had to delete text; you can rewrite it in a way that does not violate Wikipedia's content guidelines. Ling.Nut ^{(talk—WP:3IAR)} 10:19, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

user page; Lymphangioma

Hey, your user page is lookin' pretty snazzy. :-)
Are you planning to work Lymphangioma in the near future? It's lingering there, alone and unloved... :-) Let me know if you need help. You'll have my full attention. Ling.Nut ^{(talk—WP:3IAR)} 06:43, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Adoption Request

Hi, I'm Techman224. I've see that you want to be adopted. I can help you understand Wikipedia, how it works, how to edit, and all the rules. So, what do you say? Techman224^Talk 17:56, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Adoption Status & Semi-Retirement

Hi Amitampocco,

You have another adoption offer just above this message. :-)

I am semi-retiring from Wikipedia.. certainly for a few months, and perhaps permanently. I still check for messages almost every day, and glance at my watchlist almost every day as well. But I am cutting way back on participation.

I am still very willing to help with any questions you may have. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page, or email. I may even be willing to help edit the article that is your personal project... but I won't be editing anything else, or participating in any forums, at least not for a longish while.

If you wanna find another adoptee, the feel free to do so, with my support and blessings. If you wanna work with me, then I'll be happy to offer any help that I can.

best regards, Ling.Nut ^{(talk—WP:3IAR)} 12:57, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
