Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions.
You might find these pages useful:
You can always experiment in the sandbox.
If you like, you can introduce yourself at the new user log, or write something about yourself on your user page.
One more thing: if you leave a note on any kind of discussion page it's always helpful to sign your post with four tildes (~~~~), which is automatically converted to your username and the date and time. Don't do this in articles themselves though as they are not 'owned' by any particular contributor.
If you have any questions, see help, leave a question at the help desk, or feel free to drop me a line on my talk page.
Thanks again and happy editing!

As body modfication is in no way part of my core interests (history and institutions; but we Flemish intellectuals are somewhat of the uomo universale type, as a medieval Latin professor literally called me), while you seem to be an expert, I am delighted to read you find at least some of my contribution worthwile, and even contunued my experiment of suscinct definitions with typology links- I find them usefull, as many laymen probably will.
Since I am in no hurry to return to the subject, I suggest you go ahead soon with any additions and even restructuring if worthwile. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the NPOV abbreviation (I started my account ths week, most of my already numerous contributions since april were anonymous on an IP) so I'm at a loss what you mean there, while redundancy can of course be tackled with my approval in principle - even though nobody needs approval, I appreciate your courtesy.
As I started re-examining the article, I formulate these remarks :
Sincerely, Fastifex
Dear Fastifex:
The NPOV abbreviation means "neutral point of view". Basically it's the removal of materials that are non-objective (opinions, rumors, urban legends, etc...) and the effort to maintain objectivity. The body modification area of Wikipedia is packed with this kind of material, and my main effort in being here is to bring it more in line with both Wikipedia's policy and actual knowledge regarding the field.

It took be about 20 minutes to realise you didn't actually message me myself but posted in my talk page *smacks self* lol. First off I'm delighted to see a nother user taking notice to how messy that whole section of wikipedia has gotten. Iv been slowly looking over the whole thing, and iv been wanting to redo it for some time. Im actually quite a novice at this whole wikipedia editing, although I have admired the site for some time now. I also agree with you on the tongue piercing page, although im gonna have to upload a good picture of a healed tongue piercing lol. Also thank you for pointing out your migration page. I agree, we should merge the rejection and migration page. While they can have slight differences, they are mostly one and the same and would fit rather nicly on one simple page. I appologize for my sloppyness on some of my articles lol, while I have the professional knowledge of piercings and such, I am not much for proper grammer lol. I would love to exchange some messages with you about redoing as much of the pages as we can. I would love to see the piercing page itself redone, as well as all sub-articles related to it. Adios for now.--Azslande 04:32, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Well, yes it was a bit of hasty work from me.In fact,I did not read all the articles in the category of body piercing.However,by the size of the articles, it seemed that they may need more information.And categorizing as stubs always grabs the attention of more contributors who might add more stuffs to enrich the article,though not always!Who knows,with more elaoborate contributions,one of these articles (most of which have been started by you) might feature as a featured article one day. Anyway,I am sorry if it seems that I have derogated your great works by categorizing them as stubs.You are ofcourse free to change the status of the articles.Thank you. --Dwaipayanc 12:06, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
Hey, just wondering if you might be interested in joining the latest conversation at Talk:List of the longest movies in history. Would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks, Girolamo Savonarola 23:05, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
certainly he has, but i can't possibly think why you'd want to put him in especially as he only admits 3 ops.--Manboobies 02:36, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
I'm sorry for Pere Serafis' link in Sam Doumit article. I'm not Sam Doumit, and I don't have any relation with her, and Pere Serafi's blog wasn't my webpage, it just a friend's page where there a lot of references about her and I read that in the instructions that was interesting to citing all the sources. I can assure that my mistake wasn't intentionally and was my first article in wikipedia.I'm sorry for all he incovienences.
Hey fellow Martial Arts Project member, I reall need help at the Shotokan page, in brief:
User CapJ put a story in about the “shoto” in shotokan meaning short sword. When corrected about its meaning by user Matt (who included a verifiable source), he still stated that it should be included. When I transliterated the Japanese, which I read/write, he accepted the fact but still wanted something about that story in there. Now he has changed it so that he believes we should include it because it is a homonym. I feel that he just wants this info on the page without it needing to be there. Though no other editor agrees with him, he puts it back each time we edit it. I am stalled on progress by this user and feel that he is vandalizing the page. I cannot, by the incorrect information he includes, believe that this is not a joke on his part. Any assistance you can provide would be grand. ron 18:25, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Well put, here. --Kickstart70-T-C 22:26, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
I want to thank you for telling one editor I saw that he cannot link his personal websites to Wikopedia article. I have had continued problems with that same editor, making wholesale changes without comment or discussion - even after several editors (and admins) have requested that major changes be discussed first on this particular article. Did you have a chance to read his blog and what he said about Wikopedia and who should be 'qualified' to edit? Evidently, only himself, on those articles on which he believes himself to be an expert. Interestingly, he painted me as being an 'activist' (read loony). In addition to my personal experience with the subject, I also have a background in science and law - both which are pertinent to the subject discussed. molly bloom 03:05, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the note on my talk page re. above and my participation under RfC. I hope that a gap of a few days might help to take some of the heat out of this, and also some more outside comment, if that is forthcoming. If you have any suggestions, I'd be pleased to hear them on my talk page. Tyrenius 16:54, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
Not sure if you've kept an eye on it recently. A little flare out with a new editor trying to insert some anti-tattoo spin into the "health risks" section; not anything wildly false, but just at the level of "undue weight" and negative connotation. The editor, User:Doug rosenberg, has pissed me off a little bit, but it probably means I react too impatiently. So maybe I could borrow your wisdom, since you've made good edits there in the past.

I removed Buck's real name at the request of the subject, Buck, who contacted me directly about it. Please contact me by E-mail at marshall@marshallastor.com so that I can explain the situation as Buck has explained it to me. I believe that the removal of his real name is not in conflict with policy under the circumstances. Glowimperial 22:46, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
There can be no question that from their initiation, in 1980 and the recording of Such Fun and Meglomania the following year, that The Blood were using Shock Rock tactics to get their ideas accross. Now in 2007 they are once again using Shock Rock tactics to deliver the fight against Human Trafficking. The Blood are a strategic musical concept of Shock Rock that are active in the 21st Century. The Blood recognize the theatre of entertainment as a guerrilla environment for challenging the unchallengeable:
User Spamreporter1 has made a proposal for the tagging issue. He was not previously involved with either project before seeing this discussion, and I belive that his opinion therefore is NPOV. The suggestion is that articles that have no state-wide scope be tagged only locally. Please go to this section on the SoCal page to provide input. —ScouterSig 18:45, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Hello,
I was wondering if you would be willing to help me write either Seikichi_Iha or Shorin-ryu_Shido-kan. Tkjazzer 21:48, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject).
I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.
If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!
If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art#Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.
Thank you and I hope to see you there! howcheng {chat} 23:55, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Naginata, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Obi. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
