[edit]Thanks for the "greetings." Holler at me anytime, and be sure to let me know what you find out about those "po-boy" presses. If memory serves me correct there was a place off Carrollton that was famous for it. Biloxi (my hometown) they were pretty common, but Blx always was kind of off kilter.

Just you
[edit]Naw, its not that complicated, its just that everything is so poorly explained. It is definitely hostile ground for newbies, and you'll be met with people answering with WP:Community Decides Which End is Up LOL. I think the best way to learn the ropes is to start doing maintenance tasks on articles, learning what makes a good article, what doesn't, and how they are constructed. Please feel free to ask me anything, and I will try to explain in real language (without throwing WP:Obscure guidelines at you). Jacksinterweb (talk) 14:49, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of No log in prefix:Wikipedia:FAQ
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Invitrovanitas (talk) 07:39, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

The hoax didn't work and the page will soon be deleted. Further creation of pages that do not meet with Wikipedia standars may lead to your account being blocked.--Kudpung (talk) 07:52, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

- I have restored the page to User:Rrrich7/puzzle. CheckUser rights are jealously guarded by a very select group of people so you now have as much information as I.
- Rrrich7, is it possible that someone had access to a computer you were using? Where were you at 2010-12-04 07:22:02 (GMT)? That was late on Friday night for you? Were you sober? Please check your contributions over the next week or two to ensure that you recognise all of them. Unless there are more strange edits, I shall write this off as "unexplained glitch". — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:10, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
[edit]SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 16:20, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
