User talk:Lilliputian

Hi, Lilliputian, Welcome to Wikipedia!

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

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

Answer

To answer your question, I am not sure. I believe that it would be ok, but you may want to ask at the Village Pump. —Kf4bdy ^talk ^contribs

translating quote

The quote you translated seems quite good overall; a few minor changes should polish it nicely. Sadly, my French is almost nonexistent and I'm a little puzzled about the context of the first word. Here is what I might suggest (but I'm really not certain):

In a comment regarding the results of the French presidential election, 2002, Michel Onfray argued that the birth of a philosophic community such as the "université populaire" experience was meant to deliver high-level knowledge to the masses, as opposed to the more common approach of vulgarizing philosophic concepts through easy-to-read books such as "Philosophy for Well-being".

I doubt that my attempt to reword the first phrase is accurate, but I hope this helps :) --Doc Tropics ^{Message in a bottle} 16:39, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted the Anon's posting and used an edit summary to explain. I would be interested in working with you more, but I will be busy for about a week. Let me know if that is ok, or if you want to start on your own; either is fine with me. Happy editing --Doc Tropics ^{Message in a bottle} 17:09, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Are you interested in the Napoleonic Fiction WikiProject? It's just that you have made a few edits and given a picture so I was wondering if you would be interested in joining?

Please leave any comments on my talk page.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
