Welcome to Wikipedia

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. You may want to take a look at the welcome page, tutorial, stylebook, avoiding common mistakes and Wikipedia is not pages.

I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers such as yourself:

You're welcome - it's my way of not biting the newcomers. --M @th wiz 2020 22:06, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Running Crew

Thanks for fixing that! It was a stupid mistake because I forgot to check to make sure it didn't point to the disambiguation page..... Doh! Charlie Richmond 20:20, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for noticing! Actually, Sound board used to point to Mixing console but I just changed it (because of the other meanings of that phrase), so I felt like I should change all the links that pointed there. --Lph 20:32, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

hip hop dancing

Regarding the edits made by my bot, i figured "hip hop dancers" would be dancing to hip hop music. After later edits I realized hip hop dance existed as a redirect to hip hop culture, so I've linked it as [[hip hop dance]]rs which would be the best target, both now, and if/when that redirect becomes an actual article. Sound good? The reason I'm even doing this is because there were about 1,000 links redirecting from "hip hop" to hip hop culture, when most of them specifically pertained to music. — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 21:20, Jan. 20, 2006

Hip hop dance is perfect -- sorry for not checking for that possibility. Also sorry if I insulted your bot -- I looked at a few of its other edits and they are certainly the right thing to do. One question (I'm relatively new here): Some of the edits made by the bot were in comments written by various users on Talk pages. What is the policy/etiquette on those types of edits? --Lph 21:43, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I gave this some thought before starting. Basically I look at the context:

If they are making a comment like "This band isn't really [[heavy metal]], so I removed the the category. ~~~~" it's clear that they mean to say [[heavy metal music|heavy metal]], so I fix it. — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 23:42, Jan. 20, 2006
If it's obvious that they are referring to a page that has been moved more recently than they made the comment, I fix it.
If it's clear that they are intentionally referring to the disambiguation page, I leave it alone.
If they are discussing the details of a past, present, or future page move, I leave it alone.
If I can't figure out what they meant, I leave it alone.

I figure this is harmless and it reduces the clutter when somebody (without a bot, btw) wants to quickly spot-check "Whatlinkshere" to see if ambiguous links have been added to any real articles. Seem fair enough? — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 23:42, Jan. 20, 2006

Fair enough! :) --Lph 14:57, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

Thanks for adding the cited translation for La Villa Strangiato! Deckiller 22:26, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for noticing! I saw it on Wikipedia:Requested_articles/music and thought I might be able to help. --Lph 22:40, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"port arms"

"Port arms"

Thanks for your very informative answer to this question! --Lph 14:47, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, port arms and get ready to attack -- or maybe just drill! Halcatalyst 23:00, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My Jenny page

Hey Lph,

Thanks for adding my Jenny/867-5309 page to the 555 telephone number article. It's cool to be a citation in an encyclopedia. :D --Darkdan 06:06, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's cool to hear from you, Darkdan. I've always liked that page of yours, and I thought it would be a good reference for the assertion that 867-5309 "actually is a valid number in many area codes and commonly receives calls asking for 'Jenny'." (The one where the recording says "you're a loser and have no life" is especially amusing, in addition to substantiating the point that people do call asking for Jenny.) :) --Lph 16:10, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
