User talk:HowardLive
I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the Five pillars of Wikipedia and 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 or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will be by to help you shortly.
Additional tips
[edit]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. Five will get you the datestamp only.
- You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
- If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes 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'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. —Kf4bdy talk contribs

Welcome (your first talk page entry)! I added to your POV concerns at Talk:Waterbury RepublicanAmerican. Sandy 19:32, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks, Sandy; I've left my regards on your talk page. I could try to verify each allegedly right-wing viewpoint endorsed by the Waterbury paper (using the LexisNexis database), but I'm a professional writer and have much better things to do than defend my viewpoints about a paper 3,000 miles away. ;-)
You seem like a reasonable sort, and I like you. Cheers. -HowardLive, Oct. 12, 2006
- Hey, nice to hear from you. Actually, you left a message on my user page, not my talk page, so I'll talk to you here and delete that one. I could probably find info as well, if I had the time, but I can't clear up the weasle words and words to avoid with POV being pushed around on the page. A paper that calls a dictator by its rightful name can't be all bad. Three thousand miles away from Waterbury, CT sounds like my neck of the woods. Sandy 07:55, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
