User talk:CmaccompH89

Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, CmaccompH89, and welcome to Wikipedia! Wikipedia is one of the world's fastest growing internet sites. We aim to build the biggest and most comprehensive encyclopaedia in the world! To date we have over four million articles in a host of languages. The English language Wikipedia alone has 1,550,861 articles! But we still need more! Please feel free to contribute your knowledge and expertise to our site.

Here are a few good links for newcomers:

The five pillars of Wikipedia
How to edit a page
Help pages
Tutorial (this is really great for getting used to editing Wikipedia)
How to write a great article
Manual of Style

Also, don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! It might be a good idea to read this to see how you can avoid making common mistakes, though.

Just to give you a really basic overview so you don't make any mistakes early:

Wikipedia keeps a neutral point of view policy, meaning that all contributions must not be biased one way or the other. Even if both biases are presented, it is still not allowed on Wikipedia.
Only public domain resources can be copied directly to Wikipedia without permission — this does not include most web pages.
Be bold! In my opinion, this may be Wikipedia's most important policy. Go ahead and edit a page! Don't worry about "ruining" other's work, this is a wiki! (Of course, major changes should probably be proposed on talk pages to achieve consensus, but don't be scared!)

We hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please always sign your name on talk pages (but not articles!) using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the time and date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! —Mets501 (talk) 13:48, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why the reversion???

CmaccompH89,

Why did you change my words in the Numb3rs article from the accurate statement that Charlie "helps Don solve crimes for the FBI" to the far less accurate "develops formulae to predict the actions of various criminals" ??? Are you aware that when you change something you are expected to at least present a reason for it? If you choose not to even respond to my query on the Talk:Numb3rs page, asking for an explanation, then I will change the words back to the more accurate version. Thanks, Daqu 23:28, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have responded on your talk page. --CmaccompH89 00:01, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear CmaccompH89,

Please forgive me. I had thought the History feature informed me that the Numb3rs edit in question was yours, but it certainly appears to now show that it was my own inadvertent idiocy that caused the change. I am sorry for that. Daqu 15:06, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ooops! I'm very sorry for the mistake. Thanks for removing the banner, and please accept my apologies for the mixup. Cheers! – Scartol · Talk 12:23, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
