Welcome

Hey there, Jacob Finn. Welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you enjoy being a Wikipedian and decide to stay! Here are a few good links for newcomers (or "oldcomers" for reference):

By the way, you should sign and date your comments on talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~. Three tildes (~~~) produces just your name. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!

Great, just what we need around this place... more Finns. :) Cheers.

Oh, and when marking things for speedy deletion, you shouldn't mark them as minor changes. Thanks. --Lord Vold e mort ^{(Dark Mark)} 16:58, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

31% redundant

It would be redundant with Percentage. Else why not create a page for every percent up to infinity? :) GeeJo _{(t) (c)} 21:06, 14 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Possessive form of Hipparchus

Hi, just to say that I've always been taught to use, for example, " Hipparchus' " (without an extra 's') as the possessive form for classical names that end in 's', so for the moment I've reverted your change at Hipparchus.

All the best. –Syncategoremata (talk) 19:02, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I hardly think "I've always been taught..." is a good reason to make an edit... so I looked it up! WP:STYLE#Possessives states that we're both right, so I'll defer to the status quo. In the future, it'd be great if you would cite WP guidelines in situations like this; it avoids potential edit wars with people who think you're just being contrary. –Super Aardvark (talk) 21:16, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
