Welcome

Welcome!

Hello, Agur bar Jacé, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on your talk page. Again, welcome!

I removed your addition to Kilogram because it was parenthetical. If you'd like to emphasize the difference between mass and weight measures, please edit the existing language of the article instead of adding a note after the bit you have a problem with. Enuja 23:38, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at your edit history, and it appears that you aren't having the most welcoming early Wikipedia experience. On Nigel Hawthorne I suggest that you expand the article, make the lead section very short (removing mention of his sexual orientation), and keep the current lead section as an important part of the text. Asking for consensus on the talk page is certainly the way to do things, but if you want an article expanded, people will be very grateful if you just go ahead and do it.

Welcome to Wikipedia from the Anatomy Wikiproject!

Welcome to Wikipedia from WikiProject Anatomy! We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of anatomy articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are involved in editing anatomy articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing wikipedia articles are:

Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
You will make a big difference to the quality of information by adding reliable sources. Sourcing anatomy articles is essential and makes a big difference to the quality of articles. And, while you're at it, why not use a book to source information, which can source multiple articles at once!
We try and use a standard way of arranging the content in each article. That layout is here. These headings let us have a standard way of presenting the information in anatomical articles, indicate what information may have been forgotten, and save angst when trying to decide how to organise an article. That said, this might not suit every article. If in doubt, be bold!
We write for a general audience. Every reader should be able to understand anatomical articles, so when possible please write in a simple form—most readers do not understand anatomical jargon. See this essay for more details.

Feel free to contact us on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page if you have any problems, or wish to join us. I wish you all the best on your wiki-voyages! --Tom (LT) (talk) 01:47, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Misleading edit summaries

Hi, Agur bar Jacé. All your edit summaries from this year say you "smooth out" something or other, but the controversial part of your edits is usually the change of CE —> AD, and/or BCE —>BC. Those are ideologically very controversial changes, see WP:ERA. (The smoothing-out of links is a very minor thing in comparison.) Such changes should not be made without first seeking consensus on the talkpage, and absolutely not with misleading edit summaries. Bishonen | talk 18:06, 28 August 2015 (UTC).[reply]

Bishonen has been very kind to you. Your edit summaries appear as though they are attempts to distract from what you've actually done. For instance, " (Replaced "AD" in front of year references where it had incorrectly been placed after them)" when you actually replaced CE with AD.[1]. That doesn't seem honest to me. I should warn you that editors get blocked for this type of behaviour. Doug Weller (talk) 20:44, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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.
