[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello Kencf, welcome to Wikipedia!
I noticed nobody had said hi yet... Hi!
If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.
You might like some of these links and tips:
- some General guidance.
- Tutorial and the Manual of Style.
- Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
- Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~).
- Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board
- Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
- Use the Show preview button
- Provide an Edit summary
- Add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload
- Take a look at Consensus of standards
- Create a User page
If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Wikipedia Boot Camp, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, -- Alf melmac 14:59, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks for the Welcome!
I've been at this for a few weeks now; mostly I clean-up as I go along and edit for style. I've noticed kids using a couple of articles as forums for their graffiti. Considering how quickly the pages get reverted, it's akin to burst-transmission of libel, LOL!
- That sounds like our wiki :) I spend quite a bit of time sorting out vandalism and vandals so I do know exactly what you mean. --Alf melmac 15:53, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Anglicanism and the Anglican Communion
Hello! I noticed that you have identified yourself as an Anglican, and so I thought that you may be interested in checking out a new WikiProject - WikiProject Anglicanism. Please consider signing up and participating in this collaborative effort to improve and expand articles related to Anglicanism and the Anglican Communion! Cheers!

[edit] Usama Bin Laden and the concept of filibustering
I agree that the distinction is close, but UBL fails to pass a few critical tests to be considered a filibuster: he does not wage war for the purpose of taking territory or exploiting the wealth of his targets, and his operations are not expeditionary in nature. (Perhaps this idea should be better expanded upon in the entry itself.) I can see the argument in terms of the fact that what he and the rest of the Wahabbis (sp?) really have in mind, at the end of the day, is the expansion of the scope and power of the Islamic world, but I don't really think that's enough - it amounts to aggressive proselytization and a religious war at worst; something quite different from filibustering.
I can agree to the reinsertion of the passage in question if these points are made; comparing and contrasting UBL to historical filibusters rather than simply proclaiming him to be one of their number, if you will. What do you think?

I'd have to admit that while there's some overlap between the two modes of irregular warfare (21st-century terrorism and 19th-century military filibustering), the differences are more germane. These would probably best be addressed in the article on irregular warfare. Kencf 01:30, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Anglicanism COTM
The Anglicanism Collaboration of the Month has been reactivated! Please consider going to the page to either vote for one of the nominated articles, or nominate one yourself. Thanks! Fishhead64 02:45, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] World's Smallest Political Quiz userbox
You may be interested in User:Audacity/Userboxes/WSPQ, which is a replacement for the old Political Chart userbox. The new userbox takes the two variables (economic and personal freedom), calculates which political alignment they place you into (Statist, Libertarian, Liberal, Centrist, or Conservative), and links your userpage to the appropriate category.
Please reply to User talk:Audacity, as I will not be watching your talk page. Λυδαcιτγ 07:42, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AD Vid-Notes
A "{{prod}}" template has been added to the article AD Vid-Notes, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but yours may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:LustSimonBlackburn.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:LustSimonBlackburn.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 09:51, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Idaho caucus
If you read the Statesman article, you'll see that the claim was that the Ada County caucus had the largest site. That's a pretty trivial claim, and the sort that local pride is prone to make without backup, so I deleted it again. No ill-will against the fine folks of Idaho intended! --Orange Mike | Talk 15:29, 29 January 2008 (UTC) (who knows that Wisconsin has a pretty good potato industry too)
- We have the largest caucus site because we have the most participants. I'll wait on Super Tuesday's figures. kencf0618 (talk) 03:21, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

- 8,290 voters made for the largest caucus in the U.S. on Super Tuesday 2008. (Technically two caucuses were held at Qwest Arena for Congressional Districts 1 and 2, but the latter would still be the largest caucus on the union). If anyone had a larger caucus Super Tuesday, I haven't found it. kencf0618 (talk) 15:22, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Duplicate images uploaded
Thanks for uploading Image:IndoorAdaCountyCaucuses2008.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:IndoorAdaCountyCaucus2008.jpg. The copy called Image:IndoorAdaCountyCaucus2008.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.
This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot (talk) 03:45, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:HooverHighIowaCaucus2008.gif
A tag has been placed on Image:HooverHighIowaCaucus2008.gif requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
