P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).

Thanks Meelar. Already been done. -- TomPreuss 17:03, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Rat Park

Hi Tom, I just saw your note on User:SlimVirgin/RatPark and I'm a bit confused because the edit history seems to show that you created the page, and yours is the only text on it. Have I got that wrong? SlimVirgin ^(talk) 20:57, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)

Yes, I do have it wrong. ;-) Okay, I'll make sure nothing links to it, incl cats. Best, SlimVirgin ^(talk) 20:59, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)

Hey Tom

Hey, it's me WikiFanatic. If you're Tom from the HRWiki, it's Homsar999 or Homsar here. How have you been doing? --WikiFanatic/Homsar^{Talk Contribs 13:51, 20 Sep 2005 (CDT)}

Just fine, thanks. -- TomPreuss 19:53, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

block bot

Hi, I try to make as little information public as possible about the bot, and it's constantly being refined and modified in any case. -- Curps 12:00, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Looks like you uploaded it on Dec. 19, 2004 -Nv8200p talk 03:53, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it falls before that date but this image received "special" dispensation since it was uploaded by a Wikipedian and used on a User Page. Through a debate a few months ago, it was decided that images on user pages had to be "free" (GFDL, Creative Commons, Public domain, etc) and that any other license would be deleted regardless of when it was uploaded. I could not find the original debate, but here is a similar one about Image:Tim_Starling.jpg (which was also deleted). -Regards Nv8200p talk 13:31, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

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.
