Welcome
[edit]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) 18:55, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)
Username
[edit]You might want to prevent problems and clearly mention in your userpage that you're not a sysop or administrator yet. Otherwise people may think you're trying to impersonate one. If you can, consider registering a more appropriate username. Thank you. Mgm|(talk) 10:57, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)
Hi. You voted to delete Systemwars.com and it was deleted. However, Tony Sidaway has decided that your vote and the consensus that agreed with you was insufficient. He has recreated the article in violation of policy and relisted it for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Systemwars.com (second version). Please take a look. - Tεxτurε 15:43, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
Your VandalProof Application
[edit]Dear Sysop073,
Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact with the new 1.1 version release it has even more power. As such we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that unfortunately you do not meet our 250 mainspace edit minimum. Please try again soon.. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again in the not too distant future. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof.

Inappropriate Username
[edit]Hi Sysop073. I see this has been pointed out to you before, but your username is highly inappropriate as it asserts that you are a systems administrator and may mislead others (please see Wikipedia:Username). I hope you will consider changing your username, a very simple process through which all of your contributions will be preserved and you will still be able to contribute. Thanks.

- Thanks for changing it. AmiDaniel (talk) 06:58, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
simple links
[edit]Hello. Please note that there is no need to write [[tuple|tuples]]; you can just write [[tuple]]s. Similarly, if you write [[Australia]]n, [[dog]]s, [[logic]]al, [[evolution]]ary, [[hyphen]]ated, [[rabbi]]nical, etc., then the whole word, not just the part in brackets, appears as a clickable link to the article whose name is in the brackets. The more complicated form can be used for such things as [[history|histories]]. Michael Hardy 20:58, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Fravia
[edit]Please go ahead and edit it by yourself, it's your work after all, I don't want to be credited for the work I didn't do.
I didn't know anything about Fravia. I came here from Reddit because people complained that the article had been deleted and locked for bad reasons. Zorbid (talk) 16:46, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
Vote
[edit]I don't know if you saw the comments on your vote here, but you might want to add a reason why you think the image should be kept, otherwise your opinion may be discounted. Check out my verbose reasoning for an example...although, you don't have to quite be that verbose... :) Dreadstar ☥ 21:33, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
Reviewer
[edit]![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a0/Wikipedia_Reviewer.svg/130px-Wikipedia_Reviewer.svg.png)
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. -FASTILY (TALK) 19:12, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
GlusterFS Issues section
[edit]Hi! You have removed the GlusterFS issues section. I would like to convince you that it's usefull information, and it has the right to live on Wikipedia. I'm myself have been using the software over 1 year slowly discovering the itches, but none talks about them, and it would be not easy to find them out, if you do not know what exactly to look for, but for this you have to spend a year to gain experience. My ISSUES addition (like ISSUES on other WIKIPEDIA pages, describes the major problems, and this problems REALLY prevent it's usage for many setups. If I would know about them in advance, I would not have considered to use it. So I want other to know about them before they put the stuff in the operation. Can you restore the section? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Avazir (talk • contribs) 17:15, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for December 24
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bootstrap paradox, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Skynet (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
