Madness

Welcome to the madhouse; please say hello

Welcome

Hi, Litegran. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person. You can talk to me right now. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. The tips below should help you to get started. Best of luck!

You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.

Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.

Play in your user area. For example, create User:Litegran/test.

Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.

When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

Hey again

I'm sorry if you were offended (as I were earlier also) but some of your actions just provoked me a bit. I don't agree with you that content of pages should be deleted because the content are "boring" (not involving fancy "action and shootings" as in American movies, most articles are boring unless you are interested in it). I never want any "bad blood" with people, but I do get upset when, as earlier, what I write is being plainly ignored. Generally I still hope you'll continue contributing to Wikipedia of course, I just advice you however to take others opinions into consideration sometimes. Cheers, -GabaG (talk) 20:18, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry but I don't really know what building you're talking about, if I find out I'll notice you. If you could explain a bit better it would help too of course. (And as every other native patriot of Bergen, I do think that it is the greatest city in the world, at least for me.) -GabaG (talk) 22:02, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is this the building? [1] -GabaG (talk) 15:33, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just one little thing I need for you to understand. In Wikipedia biography-articles it is standard to introduce the given person by his real native name see Manual of Style (biographies). Examples: John Cabot: "Giovanni Caboto (c. 1450 – c. 1498)[2] known in English as John Cabot" Saladin: "Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb (Arabic: صلاح الدين يوسف بن أيوب‎, Kurdish: سه‌لاحه‌دین ئه‌یوبی Selah'edînê Eyubî;(c. 1138 - March 4, 1193), better known in the Western world as Saladin" etc. Therefore I will change some articles ( such as Anna Throndsen) into this same standard. Please understand this. -GabaG (talk) 15:59, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can take that image if you want. There is still light. Rettetast (talk) 19:10, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just one more thing. When writing in my talk-page can you please try to write your comments under one section instead of creating a new section for every single comment (since it's pretty much the same subject of discussion now)? And please don't edit and/or remove content of your comments after you have posted it. At least not after it has been replied to by others. Again, hope you understand. -GabaG (talk) 19:50, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
