Hi there. It seems you've been around for a few days, so let me be the first to officially (or, as officially as anything gets around here) Welcome you to Wikipedia! If you want, drop us a note at Wikipedia:New user log to introduce yourself.

If you need any editing help, visit Wikipedia:How does one edit a page. For format questions, visit our manual of style. There are dozens of other tutorials and such around if you browse a bit.

When you get a chance, you can look through our policies. If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.

If you have any other questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. You can also drop me a question on my talk page

Happy editing, Isomorphic 09:10, 19 Feb 2004 (UTC)

No Guru, what do you think about Cecropia's nominations for adminship? Get-back-world-respect 13:49, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Thak you for asking my opinion but I haven't been around here long enough to properly understand the role of admin or what kind of users make a good admin. I'm going to have to pass on taking a vote on this issue. No Guru 23:03, 2 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Derek Jeter Page

Thanks for your message. Despite our differences in opinion, I'm sure we could work something out. I do think inclusion of Jeter's batting average from the 2001 World Series and labeling it a "failure" is unfair because he was playing injured, the entire team had a terrible average, he won Game 4 on a walk-off home run, and the Yankees were still only a couple of outs from winning the Series. However, as regards the 2004 ALCS vs. Boston, even though he was not the only Yankee to struggle at the plate in the final four games, he WAS a member of an infamous team that blew a 3-0 series lead. Thus, perhaps we could find accomodation in something along the lines of the following: "Uncharacteristically, Jeter struggled during the 2004 ALCS against Boston, hitting only (insert BA) in a series in which the Yankees would notably become the first team in MLB history to lose a best-of-seven series after taking a 3 games to nothing lead." How does that strike you? Brian Brockmeyer 21:13, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

Brockmeyer

Just wanted to give you a head's up, this fellow has been reverting articles like mad whenever someone changes his edits. What's more he reports them to the Wikipedia:Vandalism in Progress page too. Can you help? I point you in particular to the Manny Ramirez page. Thanks. Friejose 20:17, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

• Thanks for your comment on my talk page and your help in reaching a compromise. I added my additional thoughts and edited the main Ramirez page to reflect your compromise paragraph. Let's see if it sticks. Friejose 12:53, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

New Brunswick

"Genteel" is difficult to quantify, but Wikipedia (like paper encyclopedias) certainly has articles that describe abstract ideas. When I think of Fredericton, I think "genteel" (or something to that effect - I wasn't the one that put the word in the article originally); when I think of Saint John, I think "blue-collar". They're not provable in any 'a priori' sense, but they do help to paint a picture for the reader who isn't necessarily familiar with the cities. Geoff NoNick 04:43, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

hi there

don`t have a clue how the politics here works, but you started undoing some cleaning i was going to do on the sata article. i was writting a real article on eSATA (and not the infomercial that is on the sata page) and put an eSATA link on the sata page, not mix both contents. anyway, will do it somewhere else

Please stop restoring inflammatory comments to the talk page I have edited. Please stop misrepresenting my edits as "vandalism". thanks. 4.155.60.127 04:03, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

hello

Thanks for the offer, but I've been editing for a while now. I used to be [1]. --72.137.173.201 05:13, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting

Thanks for helping and reverting my talk page from the "Coolie/Ghandi vandal" -- MicahMN | μ 19:25, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

You're welcome!!

I'm glad I could help. (Thanks for thanking me!)--ViolinGirl^♪ 21:11, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Baseball on Wikicities

Hello No Guru, Googie Man here and I'm writing to you because of your work reverting vandalism on baseball. Jimbo and Angela have made a new webstie called Wikicities. This link in particular will take you to the baseball Wikicity. As you'll see it's similar to Wikipedia, but my hope is this will allow baseball fans to do more and different things, like reporting on games, in depth statistics, create mulitple pages for pictures, and whatever else baseball fans care to create. You've done great work on Wikipedia and I was hoping you could help get this baseball Wikicity off the ground. Please let me know what you think either at my talk page, or you can email me at terry@wikia.com. Thanks! Googie Man^(Talk), 22:16, 4 January 2006

Thanks

Thanks for catching the vandalism of my userpage. It's odd, I warned that vandal once, on December 1, and he's vandalized my user page twice since then. He seems to be under the impression that the other warnings he's received (one of which was for vandalizing my user page) were from me — I guess vandals just don't get this place. Anyway, thanks for the reversion. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 07:43, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

RE: PAUL WITT

what does "notable" mean exactly?

because I know that Paul Witt is good enough to have a page for himself.

Christadelphian edits

No Guru

Good day, eh? In reference to the edits on the Christadelphians page: there is a user, who is an ex-Christadelphian (211.31.31.224, also known as Ekklesiastic), who is trying to use this page for his own personal agenda (he has done this in other places on the 'net) and keeps coming in to place his "Ex-Christadelphian" link called Truth Alive on the page. We have tried unsuccessfully to get him to stop, so I modified the links to reflect that he is an ex-Christadelphian to warn people that his page is biased. There are others who feel his link should not be there, such as the one you just reverted (60.225.41.237). If there is a way we can get him reported, can you inform me?

Thank you for your help.

PGKBOT

I have been following pgkbot for a while now and checking it's links, about 4 or five times I find out that you also edited the article and finished it before me, has this problem arisen before? What tool do you use to do it so quick?

User:Directorgeneral

Just so you know, you've added the {{nn-warn}} template onto Directorgeneral's Userpage, instead of his talk page. You may want to go back and fix it...? -- gtdp _(talk)^(contribs) 16:35, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Re: Sockpuppet

Well, if that user isn't using any of the other accounts to gain greater influence in discussions, I don't think there's a problem with that. Just my view on that. - Ichiro 18:25, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Just van Rossum

Hi, No Guru. In response for your request for speedy deletion, I've added an explanation of the notability of Just van Rossum on the article's talk page. Please re-read the article and its talk page — claims made are notable and easily verified. While I don't envision the article expanding into one as large as, say, his brother's, I believe this article satisifies Wikipedia criteria for an individual with several published credits. Cheers. --Ds13 20:07, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for removal of the speedy deletion tag. (It's still a bit of a stub, though!) :-) --Ds13 20:19, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

3RR

Please stop. You're getting redy to violate the 3RR policy on User talk:68.74.185.144. Please notify an admin before continuing to revert. SWD316 ^{talk to me} 04:51, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, but looking at your contributions, it didn't look too good when it says, revert vandalism 7-8 times in a row. Oh well. Cheers! SWD316 ^{talk to me} 05:03, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

A fine motto indeed! But remember when doing that to an article, it might be content dispute, then it might turn into a motto you might regret. lol. SWD316 ^{talk to me} 05:09, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

True, true. I thought I would just throw that out there. Let's not get into a arguement over vandals, it's just silly. Talk to you later! SWD316 ^{talk to me} 05:15, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Wikimedia Canada

Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in. Hope to see you there!--DarkEvil 17:11, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thank you for reverting vandalism in my talk page! =D --OneEuropeanHeart 02:07, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

New Sports-Wiki

Hey No Guru. I noticed that you were fond of editing baseball articles, so I thought you would be interested in this project a couple of my buddies and I started. A couple of friends and I (a bunch of guys from New York City) modified the Mediawiki engine (which runs Wikipedia) to create a new sports wiki. Beyond the fact that every non-protected page is editable, the site allows user to post up news stories and write sports opinions with associated blog-like-commenting. We also wrote some cool extensions so that users can vote on pages they like and those pages with the most votes get filtered to the front page of the site--that way the best news and opinion stories rise to the top. Since more people will see the articles, more people will edit them and polish them up, hopefully increasing an articles reliability and quality.

If your interested in checking out the project, send me a message and I will send you the link. --Awrigh01 15:50, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank you Hello No Guru, and thank you for your support in my request for adminship! It passed with a final count of 63/4/3. I am honoured by the community support and pledge to serve the project as best as I can. CanadianCaesar The Republic Restored 16:40, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Back off

Leave Geno alone. No one that has written on this page has bothered you. Have you nothing better to do than attack people's work? - Keith Creel

Geno Petralli

Boy, you're not kidding. I threw out a bunch of stuff but it needs a rewrite, top to bottom. - DavidWBrooks 21:01, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

The more I look at it, the more I think it's a joke and/or hoax. Bored teenagers goofing on wikipedia, or something like that. Not even super fans could seriously back such twaddle. - DavidWBrooks 21:06, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

FYI, I'm not enough of a baseball fan to do a serious edit to this article. If my changes stick ... yeah, right ... somebody like you should try to make it legitimate. - DavidWBrooks 21:07, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

48-hour blocks put on three IDs that are all the same or similar people. We'll see what happens ... I assume you're watching the page, too. - DavidWBrooks 01:11, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

You don't know jack!

What's twaddle? Did you do a wiki story on "twaddle"? It's all legit and from the references mentioned below. If you don't know about Geno Petralli and/or think his life is a joke, then leave it alone! Seriously, an 8 year old kid with cancer is no joke. - Jim Sundberg

Dude! Why'd you delete "Hunter D. Bates" 's page?

That was a birthday present for my friend! Could you at least leave it on there for 24 hours?

Please respond, mikemastah
