A welcome from Sputnik

Hi, DreamsReign, Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, bonjour, salut, privyet, konichiwa, shalom, hola, salve, sala'am, bonjourno, and hi! I'm Sputnik. I noticed that you were new and/or have yet to receive any messages so I just thought I'd pop in to say "hello". We're glad to have you in our community! I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it's so big but we won't bite so Be Bold and get what you know down in microchips! If you do make a mistake, that's fine, we'll assume good faith and just correct you: it'll take a few seconds maximum! I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Though we all make goofy mistakes, here is what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful. If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you. Here are a few links to get you started:

• Always sign your posts on talk pages! That way, others will know who left which comments. You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
• The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
• Simplified Ruleset
• How to edit a page
• Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style
• Wikipedia Glossary

And remember:

• Be Bold!,
• Don't let grumpy users scare you off.,
• Learn from others,
• Play nicely with others, and
• Contribute, Contribute, Contribute!.

• If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
• If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

• P.S. I'm happy to help new users. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you need help with anything or simply wish to say hello. :)

Happy Wiki-ing!

Thanx 4 UR welcome Sputnik! I've done a little gnoming here and there, and I've been quite amazed by how quickly some of my edits have been reverted! Better not make a big deal out of it, though, I plan on making hundreds of good edits to prove good faith before trying to fight off reverters of my well-intentioned efforts. --DreamsReign 01:06, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Lavoisier/Peiser

Hi. Lavoisier isn't a scholarly group, its lobbying. Peiser: you might like to check out http://timlambert.org/2005/05/peiser2/. Or perhaps http://www.norvig.com/oreskes.html, if you trust google... William M. Connolley 14:31, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the links. It should also be noted that the IPCC is not a scholarly group either, it is run by beaurocrats. The Lavaisier *report* (the recent pdf one I was linking to) seemed scholarly to me, even if the group as a whole is not. But hey, I'm no expert so if I need better references to make the controvery article (and the section on controversy under global warming) better, then I'll do more hunting. The fact is that that the *scientific* controversy is extremely badly represented on these pages. Global warming is no longer the consensus AT ALL - "climate change" is. Ice caps are getting colder [1], the hockey stick airbrushed out the medieval hot period, and human CO2 emissions are less than 4% of the nature's (so even halving them across the board would make very little difference). Global warming is the great hoax of the second half of the 20th Century, and this is starting to be recognised as people shift terms to "climate change". But no more; I'll be sure to focus on much better references in future edits. Thank you for sharpening my wiki-sword. --DreamsReign 05:53, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

You have enthusiasm, but bad sources. Junkscience is... junk. As for the MWP: [[2]] should do you William M. Connolley 20:58, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Narnia

Hello, I noticed that you edited an article related to, or expressed interest in The Chronicles of Narnia. I thought you may be interested in knowing that there is a WikiProject working to improve articles about Narnia, your help would be greatly appreciated. Please consider joining the WikiProject Narnia. Thank you! Bornagain4 01:17, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

I love what you guys are doing. I think that your project is an excellent idea. Unfortunately, I am a pretty extreme expodian and that isn't set to change just now. Thanks for the invite though! --DreamsReign 11:25, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Invitation

There is a backstage pass coming up to be followed by an editathon in the State Library of New South Wales on 23 November. This is the first time that an Australian cultural institution has opened its doors to us in this way and will be a special opportunity because the Library is providing: one of its best rooms; its expert curators (along with their expertise and their white gloves); a newly launched website (containing new resources); and of course, items from its collection (including rare and usually unavailable material) which we can look at, learn from, and use, to improve WP articles. For example, on the chosen topic (Australia and WWI), the Library holds many diaries and manuscripts from the period.

As you can see from the Library's project page, they have connected this editathon with their own work. They have already set out a wide range of resources to make things easier for us. Please sign up on the editathon project page if you can participate either online or in person with other Wikipedians. Hope to see you there! Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 07:18, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
