Welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:
Don't worry too much about being perfect. Everyone makes mistakes, but you can click here to see how you can avoid making some common ones.
If you are still stuck, you can type {{helpme}}here, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Or, you can join the newcomer's help chat room, where volunteers can answer your questions.
If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user, such as an administrator. One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with four tildes (~~~~). The software will automatically convert this into your signature. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again, welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to be BOLD! —LegoKontribsTalkM20:29, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
First, I want to be absolutely clear here: I am not out to be argumentative or pick a fight here. I'd like to resolve this in a friendly, courteous manner.
I have to ask, though: Why did you unilaterally move Bag of Holding to Holding Bag? I take issue with it.
You didn't discuss it on the talk page or give anyone a heads up. I understand if you're not familiar with D&D terminology, but "Bag of Holding" is its formal name in D&D and has been for nearly thirty years. That is the name everyone uses in the game and the name that's cited in all the manuals and publications. Your change is the equivalent of moving Eiffel Tower to "Eiffel's Tower" or "The Tower of Eiffel."
Now, if you want to argue that the concept that a bag bigger on the inside than outside goes beyond D&D and want to rewrite the whole thing with that in mind, you should bring up on the talk page and see if a consensus can be reached. Then you can consider renaming it. But just saying "it doesn't make sense" is POV.
Please discuss your view on this, either on the talk page or here. If I don't hear a solid justification for this move, I'm going to move it back in the next few days.
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Josh Perry (Actor), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
The subject does not pass any of the 3 tests required of WP:ENTERTAINER: significant multiple roles, large fan base or substantial cult following, or unique, prolific or innovative contributions.
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
I deleted it for the reason listed in the deletion log. Please read that, and read any links included within it. Also, read the section on this page immediately above this one. - Rjd0060 (talk) 01:29, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Request to participate in University of Washington survey on tool to quickly understand Wikipedians’ reputations
Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington. In April, we met with some local Wikipedians to learn what they would like to know about other editors’ history and activities (within Wikipedia) when interacting with them on talk pages. The goal of those sessions was to gather feedback to help design an embedded application that could quickly communicate useful information about other Wikipedians. We have now created a few images that we feel represent some of what our participants thought was important. We would appreciate it if you took a few minutes of your time to complete an online survey that investigates whether or not these images would be useful to you. Your quick contribution would be very valuable to our research group and ultimately to Wikipedia. (When finished, the code for this application will be given over to the Wikipedia community to use and/or adjust as they see fit.)
Willing to spend a few minutes taking our survey? Click this link.
Please feel free to share the link with other Wikipedians. The more feedback, the better!
The survey is completely anonymous and takes less than 10 minutes to complete. All data is used for university research purposes only.
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Searchin, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
non-notable song. Any crucial info can be merged with Anthology, but I really can't see this warranting a full article
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy).

Yeah, I used to be on YouTube but they banned me. I had the Beatles at Shea Stadium videos up for the longest time, then all at once EMI Music decided it was time to bring them down, along with my account. Maybe that means they're finally working on a release of the material? Probably not, haha.
We are holding a straw poll (in a very friendly way, of course) to decide if The Beatles should be called a group, or a band. You can add your user signature to one or the other by clicking this link, Group or band – which one?. Thanks.--andreasegde (talk) 00:00, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Zobango! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 3 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Placebo, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted by ClueBot.
Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
ClueBot produces very few false positives, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been detected as unconstructive, please report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
I was trying to clean up unnessecary content to clean up the article and make it easier to read. I apologize if that didn't go as planned and it looked like vandalism
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Datebook until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Boleyn (talk) 12:14, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate.
If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here
