User talk:ML

Hi ML, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have. You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox. When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines. First, write from a neutral point of view, second, be bold in editing pages, and third, use wikiquette. Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.

Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me at my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing ~~~~.

Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! --Spangineer (háblame) 13:27, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)

About Frank

Now that I am blocked in fi.wiki I must approach you this way. Frank, for personal hatred towards me, has decided to take advantage of my block and vandalize my user discussion page with a fony Sock puppet charge: http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keskustelu_k%C3%A4ytt%C3%A4j%C3%A4st%C3%A4:Jaakko_Sivonen Everyone knows this is not true, I have written with my own name for long in Suomi24 for example. He is doing this merely because of our disputes and because I am defenceless to delete the vandalism at the moment because of the block. So, since I cannot currently delete that vandalism, could you please do it for me? Thank you. --Jaakko Sivonen 16:52, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kiitos. --Jaakko Sivonen 17:49, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Marco Casagrande

Hi ML, please what do you know about this Marco Casagrande guy? Couldn't find anything about him. Mercenary? Stellatomailing 02:46, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

He is an architecht and an enviromental artist. Quite known in Finland, perhaps best for being a "mercenary" in Bosnian wars and writing a book about it. Also some kind of professor in Taipei [1] --ML 02:50, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Odd. Looks like he is doing some heavy astroturfing. Stellatomailing 03:01, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ML,
