Hello Noldoaran, welcome to Wikipedia. Here are some useful links in case you haven't already found them;
If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Hello, regarding United Food and Commercial Workers - whether you start in your sandbox or on the real page is up to you. If you do it in a sandbox, it is best to make a brand new sandbox, so have User:Noldoran/United Food and Commercial Workers for example. That way, when it's finished, you can move it to the new title and the page history will be kept. If the article is in very draft form, then starting it off in your user space is a good idea, as things which are really short might get deleted. However, if you'd rather other people started working on it straight away, then go ahead and put it in the main namespace at United Food and Commercial Workers. Either way, good luck with it.

Hi, you said "The Vandal link on your user page is dead." - it in't actually dead, it's just that it is a sysop-only link, which is probably a bit out of order really. It links to a deleted page, which only sysops can see. The entire content of the page was "Se also: Frognerparken, the famous park in this district. User:Angela is vandalising the page, so I cannot link myself." I shall try to find a different link; I've been accused of being a vandal more than once! :) Angela 06:43, 20 Nov 2003 (UTC)
You could create it wherever you like and redirect the others, but you might want to read Redirected user pages considered harmful first! I've redirected mine at Meta, but that was because it kept being vandalised and I wasn't at Meta enough to keep an eye on it. A better solution is to just to have a very short user page at the places you don't visit as often and link them to your main user page. For example, mine on the Romanian Wikipedia (ro:Utilizator:Angela) just says "See en:User:Angela", and in other languages, I've put a note saying that I am mostly at the English Wikipedia (such as fr:Utilisateur:Angela). Angela 07:47, 20 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Sounds a good idea. Remember to format it like [[:en:User:Noldoran]] for the link to work across all wikis. Angela
Hi Noldoran, I noticed your question about the tables of contents on Angela's talk page. First, a really good place to post these sorts of questions is on the Village Pump, and you can also check the Wikipedia Help. And to answer your question, the Table of Contents automatically kicks in when you have 4 or more headers "== Header ==" -- try it and see! -- Thanks, BCorr ¤ Брайен 19:43, 20 Nov 2003 (UTC)
I'm not being fast enough with my question answering today. :) Yep, what Brian says about the TOC is true, though I don't mind at all being asked stuff on my talk page. re: WP:FD - of course! Sign up. You just need to know how to help newcomers and revert vandalism. Thanks for answering Sverdrup's question for me. Angela 19:46, 20 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Thanks for the support re Thanksgiving! User:jengod
My message notification is horked, let's see if adding a new message fixes it. Noldoaran 04:32, Nov 21, 2003 (UTC)
Hi Noldoaran,
The Gardening Club was 'founded' during a debate about the Militia. The Militia was about housekeeping, fighting the vandals, etc, especially in the case of a news article that might attract large numbers of newbies. The term Militia sounded too militant to some, and so the term gardening was brought up. A gardener is also removing weeds from his garden, but his main target is making his garden thrive and prosper. The Militia has been renamed Volunteer Fire Department, and the Gardening Club was never formally incorporated. -- JeLuF 05:34, 28 Nov 2003 (UTC)
To join the typo team, just add your name to the member list and fix typos. Happy typo hunting! Alexandros
It is probably better to put the welcome remarks on the talk pages rather than the user pages. --snoyes 20:24, 4 Dec 2003 (UTC)
I asked the same question to User:Dori. It is answered at User_talk:Dori#Signatures. --Jiang (Talk) 23:13, 6 Dec 2003 (UTC)
As we now have the new table markup, eventually all the tables should be converted to that markup. For now, it mieght be best to limit edits to small/simple tables; complex tables (like the elements) might get special CSS classes, which would require some planning. That goes for tables which hold floating images as well. Basically, be bold in updating pages :-) --Magnus Manske 22:05, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Hi, I saw your comment at User talk:Mediator about mediators being anonymous. They are not anonymous. There's a list of them at Wikipedia:Mediation Committee. Much of what is on that user talk page was just 142's views on what mediation ought to involve. You should see Wikipedia:Mediation and Arbitration (proposal) for more current information on the process. Angela. 18:39, 8 Dec 2003 (UTC)
In your new user boilerplate text, you have a semicolon(;) where you should have a colon(:). I would fix it but I don't like editing other users' (sub)pages without permission. [User:Noldoaran|Noldoaran]] (Talk) 21:04, Dec 8, 2003 (UTC) Oh, I forgot to mention, I've noticed alot of other users using that text.. [User:Noldoaran|Noldoaran]] (Talk) 21:06, Dec 8, 2003 (UTC)
In your new user boilerplate text, you have a semicolon(;) where you should have a colon(:). I would fix it but I don't like editing other users' (sub)pages without permission. You most likely got that boilerplate text from Angela(or vice-versa). She has corrected the problem. Noldoaran (Talk) 21:20, Dec 8, 2003 (UTC)
Hi, I've used Acronym Finder to help build up disambig lists for acronyms, but I don't think we should be linking to it to from our articles; AF is full of errors and bogus expansions. I always have to run each one through Google, and many of them turn out to appear only on - other lists of acronyms. I think eventually WP will be a superior resource for acronyms, just because we do more fact-checking on these kinds of things. Stan 01:12, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Why are you going around adding to articles [[IMDb]] links that don't work? —Paul A 02:12, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC)
And why do you remove them when they have been fixed? :)—Eloquence 05:55, Dec 9, 2003 (UTC)
Thanks for contributing to Bio-inspired computing! The article is very interesting. Keep up the great work!
If you have any questions, or you would like someone to review an article for you, you can always ask me.

Hi Noldoaran... I've just done a major rewrite of the Lindenmayer systems page, maybe if you get a chance you could give it a quick look over? I think you'll find it quite interesting, if you haven't already read about them. Thanks! --Chopchopwhitey 10:24, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Why do you think that all dates in an article should be links? Other people agree, but I have yet to see any reasoning. See also: Wikipedia talk:Make only links relevant to the context —Noldoaran (Talk) 23:19, Dec 13, 2003 (UTC)
Would you be willing to join WikiProject Programming languages, we could really use your help. —Noldoaran (Talk) Dec 17, 2003
Hello, thank for your offer, but these days I'm really busy with the Italian wikipedia (my native language) that was just moved from the old to the new software and needs a lot of work... but I'm known to change interests quickly, so I will surely check from time to time and see if I can help. Alfio 19:49, 17 Dec 2003 (UTC)
I am interested in helping, although I was not detecting any specific problems with the current system, so more information is desired. Brent Gulanowski 21:43, 17 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Just saw your request over on my talk page - must have overlooked it when you first put it up. I'm not really too sure what I can do to contribute to this project; I've got a modest degree in computer science but lots of other folks around Wikipedia go way over my head on this subject. :) I guess once a format has been settled on I can volunteer to help with the brute force part where the existing articles get put in order, at least. I'll watchlist it and see what else I can do. Bryan 10:50, 31 Dec 2003 (UTC)
thanks for the compliment :-) PomPom
I haven't got much time for wikipedia these days, but I'll sign onto the programming languages wikiproject just to keep a hand in. Thanks for the heads-up. k.lee 02:27, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Hi, Noldoaran, thanks for your welcome some months back - the links have been useful. I thought I might ask you for feedback on Wikipedia:WikiProject Writing Captions before I link to it from the usual places. I'd certainly appreciate your comments, and I'd be honored to have you as a participant if you're willing. Thanks for looking! -- ke4roh 05:26, Jul 18, 2004 (UTC)
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "((DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual))" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
OR
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "((DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual))" with "((MultiLicensePD))". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Because of your work with the WikiProject Cities I'd like you to take a look at the Chicago article if you have the time & desire. It is currently up for Peer Review (see Chicago Talk) and I would enjoy hearing your feedback to help guide the growth of this article. Jasenlee 01:09, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
My primary motivation in joining Wiki (officially) was the general lack of entries on CD formatting. I believe this falls under the Computing Wikiproject. What can I do to help get started on those without stepping on anyone toes? Particularly, being a wiki newbie, I could use the help of a mentor/moderator to make sure that any new entries I may add conform to Wiki standards. Do you have any recommendations on where to begin?
Thanks Kail Ceannai 00:38, 2005 May 5 (UTC)
Hello, Jimbo Wales will be in San Diego to attend OOPSLA and has agreed to come by and visit with the San Diego wikipedians. If you are interested, you will find more info on my talk page. Johntex\talk 00:54, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
I noticed that you were also from Ventura county thought I would just say hi whast up hows life? where are you in the county and all that good jazz --Kylehamilton 12:29, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
Since you have taken an interest in links. Please be kind enough to vote for my new bot application to reduce overlinking of dates where they are not part of date preferences. bobblewik 20:29, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
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 ForteTuba, 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 16:16, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi Noldoaran,
You welcomed me to Wikipedia all the way back on Nov 21, 2003. So, thanks. Hope this makes you feel warm and fuzzy for the rest of today. = )

Hi, and welcome to the Countries WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of counties.
There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask another fellow member, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Shy1520 10:26, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
I am new on WikiProject Cities. I have added considerable content to the first city I am working on, which happens to be the city of my residence, Taichung City. Would you mind taking a few minutes to look it over and leave comments on how you think I can make it better to bring it up to WikiProject Cities standards in a section of the discussion page for the city’s article page that I have set up.
Thank you. Ludahai 03:39, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
I saw your name listed on Wikiproject Illustration or the list of graphic artists, and I thought I'd let you know that a Graphics Lab has been created on EN. Based on the highly successful French and German graphics labs, it seeks to better organise and coordinate our graphic design and photo-editing efforts. Up until now, there has been no common space on EN where users could ask for maps, charts and other SVG files to be created. What's more, the Graphics Lab has discussion boards, tips, tools and links; in sum, a good common workspace. Come help us out! The infrastucture is already in place, and now we need participants. :) --Zantastik talk 00:40, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:OlympicRings.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.
