User talk:Forsworth

Welcome!

Hi, Forsworth, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, please read about the simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page.

Additional tips

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the articles for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
If you believe something you added or created has been unfairly treated, talk to the user or follow the steps in resolving disputes
If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Happy Wiki-ing.

Thanks for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. - Trevor MacInnis(Talk | Contribs) 15:03, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sandbox

Please don't remove the sandbox header. --fvw * 16:36, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Stop removing the sandbox header or you will be blocked from editing. --fvw * 16:39, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop this flurry of edits. There's really no point. David | Talk 23:40, 28 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've temporarily blocked you from editing. Could you explain why you've been making all these edits to the sandbox? David | Talk 23:43, 28 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I thought you are allowed to edit the sandbox as much as you like. Forsworth 23:46, 28 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well within reason! Are you suffering editcountitis? Or just trying to disrupt Wikipedia? David | Talk 23:48, 28 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No I am just trying to beat the record for most edits in 10 minutes. How is it disrupting wikipedia anyway its the sandbox! Forsworth 23:52, 28 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

There is no such record so far as I am aware. I am asking the question "How is it helping Wikipedia?" Why not try for the most number of constructive edits to different pages instead? David | Talk 23:55, 28 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It helps because it is super cool. Forsworth 23:59, 28 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oh by the way if U really want me to stop the fine but I will have to do something else instead (probably vandalise articles) so your choice! Forsworth 00:02, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits disrupt the Recent changes page. Please do not do this again, you can gain more respect on wikipedia with constructive edits. And if you resort to vandalism, you will be blocked from any editing. Citizen Premier 00:04, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have not "resorted to vandalism" I am jsut ttrying to beat the record, and for your information I have never vandalised wikipedia before. I am just saying it is better I edit sandbox than vandalise articles. Forsworth 00:09, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

There is no record, for good reason. Even if you should make the most edits in ten minutes, the people taking note will probably be doing so in order to have you banned. There is no competition on wikipedia; we want everyone to contribute, as long as they do so usefully and rationally. We welcome any help you can give, but persisting in trying to "beat the record" will only make wikipedians angry. Citizen Premier

Leave me to my editing and I will leave you to yours. Forsworth 00:28, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

you are not going to get the fastest edit rate anyway. Due to the rollback function there are conditions under which and admin could make 25 edits a minute no problem.Geni 00:58, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
