Hello, I am known Gears of War, I am a part of Wikipedia and I would like to welcome you to Wikipedia, here is some stuff you should know and some links to follow.
Wikipedia's official policies and guidelines can be summarized as five pillars that define the character of the project:

Hi. You marked problem set with the OR tag without explaining yourself. I find this odd because it's a 3 paragraph article with 11 citations from 6 sources, needless to say far more than the vast majority of articles. No article cites every sentence, so I have removed the tag. If there is anything that is particularly exigent to cite, please mark it with a {{fact}} tag.-Oreo Priest talk 07:06, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your help with the above article. I really appreciate it. But could you do one favor? I would like you to help me reword this section. Please reply here. Thanks,

I have to be honest, I learned something today as I have never heard of this term before. I would wager that I have some information on the topic buried away in some book though, so I will take a look for it when I get a chance. I am going to be away from editing for the remainder of the week though researching for writing in my regular life and then doing some chef type stuff, as such I won't get to it in time to help you for you DYK, wish I could help you sooner.--Chef Tanner (talk) 20:55, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Travis County, Texas photos
Can do on the location photos for the movie. I might be able to get to some of them this weekend. The image of Blue Hole you put in the article is not the Blue Hole that was in the film. The Blue Hole in the film is said to be in Wimberley and is on Cypress Creek. The Blue Hole image in the article is near Georgetown and is on the San Gabriel River. -Regards

Hey B, your recent edits to
- Hello there, I saw that you changed the page Business (disambiguation) back to list basically all articles that start with or contain the word business. So that you can hopefully understand more why the edits changing your edits were made, disambiguation pages do not need to include all pages that have the term being disambiguated int them - they should only list pages whose title can really be confused with the term. Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Partial_title_matches talks about this. This is why the page was returned to its previous version. If I can help to clarify this any more, please let me know, and/or please join in the discussion at Wikipedia_talk:Disambiguation#Business_.28disambiguation.29. Providing we come to an understanding, we'll put the page back to the appropriate form. -- Natalya 14:23, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Money in the utility function
Hello--The redirect looks good, but I think the previous section title was more helpful. "Utility of money" is what someone might be interested in, and then the utility function stuff can come in the text.Cretog8 (talk) 16:52, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Test page speedies
I am declining all your speedy requests within the AfD space as these are clearly not test pages, but requests or expressions of opinion. Please review
- Same for WP:MFD. G2 is not just an excuse to get rid of things that don't seem appropriate to you. Best wishes Fritzpoll (talk) 01:52, 22 June 2008 (UTC)]
- I tagged a lot of AfD talk pages and it appears that only some of my speedy requests within the AfD space were declined. I think you mean that the speedy requests that were declined were not test pages. In any event, I didn't get rid of things that didn't seem appropriate to me. Before jumping to conclusions, please consider discussioning the matter first. Bebestbe (talk) 03:15, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Signature
Hi! Please let me know if this signature would be alright
<span style="font: small-caps 15px times;">'''[[User:KC Panchal|<font color="#800080">—Ketan</font><font color="#000000">Panchal</font>]]<sup>[[User talk:KC Panchal|<font color="#2F4F4F">''<small>t</small>aL{{fs|3|K}}''</font>]]'''</sup></span>
Honestly, I've never seen my signature interfering with the surrounding text. And also, never received complaints. I'm very fond of this signature, but obviously don't want to inconvenience others, too. So, hoping to meet an effective compromise. Am writing to you, so I could get some feedback if this is also interfereing with the surrounding text.
PS: I use firefox with toolbar.

Hi Bebestebe. Thanks for your message. A subsequent edit to the article earlier today made the two sentences I mentioned make sense. I've moved the final two sentences around so I think the paragraph flows better. Major Bloodnok (talk) 19:26, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Re:updates
Yeah, I was kind of afraid of that. That's how I did a partial update of the music entries at one point, but it was mind-numbingly time-consuming. I was hoping that there was an easier way. Maybe Betacommand's idea will pan out and make the process a lot less labor-intensive. Chubbles (talk) 23:32, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your message - his name is Jürgen, like Jürgen Klinsmann. If you look at the link to Google News you provided, you can see that in 1979 the New York Times transcribed his name (more correctly) as Juergen Heuser. I wouldn't move the article - I've added the standard "ü" foreign language header instead. Nikai (talk) 13:53, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
Naming conventions
Hi there. I see you have just marked a number of naming conventions as "proposals". Was there a community-wide decision concerning this? The one I was particularly thinking of was Wikipedia:WikiProject New York City Public Transportation/New York City Subway/Station naming convention. This convention has been stable for 10 months. The editors who worked on it regarded the issue as settled, and it has been widely implemented as written. Why, after all this time, was it "demoted" to a proposal? Marc Shepherd (talk) 20:35, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
- Naming conventions that are part of the official English Wikipedia policy Wikipedia:Naming conventions usually are not subpages of WikiProjects. Also, the general stations issue still seems to be not resolved at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (stations). If New York City Subway Station naming convention has received general consensus as English Wikipedia naming conventions, then there should be no issue in moving/copying it to something like Wikipedia:Naming conventions (New York City Subway stations). I've posted notes on the talk pages of two regulars at Wikipedia:Naming conventions Francis Schonken and Pmanderson to look over my recent categorization efforts. If I miscategorized "New York City Subway Station naming convention," then they likely would catch it. Bebestbe (talk) 20:49, 1 July 2008 (UTC)]

Hiya BBB
You're welcome to do any work you like on categorization, but can you point me to the discussion that led to posting CAT:GEN and CAT:MOS as shortcuts to Wikipedia style guidelines instead of to General style guidelines? (feel free to reply here). - Dan
- Hi Dan. The CAT:MOS shortcuts on Category:General style guidelines haven't change. As for posting CAT:GEN and CAT:MOS shortcuts on Wikipedia style guidelines, that was a mistake which I was in the process of correction. Sorry for the confusion. Bebestbe (talk) 16:11, 11 July 2008 (UTC)]

- You're quite right, sorry. And by going through the whole cat, I found out the answer myself: the cat is not growing, so all is well. What I'm saying is that it's really frustrating when someone comes along and decides on their own without any discussion what's a style guideline and what's not; it creates a lot of work for the folks who keep an eye on style guidelines.

- Concerning the page in question: I've had it watchlisted for a long time, and it's dormant.

- We're working towards the same goal. I've become frustrated at relying a style guideline only: to find out later that it did not receive consensus through Wikipedia proposals or other appropriate means. My interest is in keeping things from being identified as an official style guideline. I think if I place all non official style guidelines into categories other than the official style categories, then there would be less chance that someone would add their page to the official style guidelines. Is there a list that in fact represents official style guidelines (perhaps Template:Style? If so, I'll not edit those page until I discuss it with others at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style. Bebestbe (talk) 14:45, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
- To go to a slightly different subject, it is in many cases against proper etiquette to categorise pages in the userspace without consulting the editors concerned; people's user pages are considered more or less private space, and unsolicited major edits can be interpreted as intrusion. In my case, I request that you should revert your edits to my pages, as these constitute a small-scale experiment currently in hiatus and should not be categorised anywhere.

- Ah! There's the Duke, I bet he can answer your question about Macedonia better than I can. To answer your question about the official list, there isn't one. People often create new style guidelines...WP:FILM created one a couple of months ago...and just because someone creates a new style guideline doesn't mean it's my job to run over there and tell them what I think, and I think a lot of people who keep up with style guidelines feel the same way. Live and let live. When it's brought to my attention that pages that call themselves style guidelines are in conflict, then I am happy to give my two cents. - Dan talk)(mistakes) 02:32, 13 July 2008 (UTC)]

I notice that this category you created is unpopulated (empty). In other words, no Wikipedia pages belong to it. If it remains unpopulated for four days, it may be deleted, without discussion, in accordance with Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#C1. I'm notifying you in case you wish to (re-)populate it by adding [[Category:Old requests for Brazil peer review]] to articles/categories that belong in it.
I blanked the category page. This will not, in itself, cause the category to be deleted. It serves to document (in the page history) that the category was empty at the time of blanking and also to alert other watchers that the category is in jeopardy. You are welcome to revert the blanking if you wish. However, doing so will not prevent deletion if the category remains empty.
If you created the category in error, or it is no longer needed, you can speed up the deletion process by tagging it with {{

You were the creator of Category:Style guidelines of WikiProjects.
I think at the time you created this category, guidelines were defined differently from how they are now; infact, i venture that they were not defined even for wikipedia's purposes at the time.
Can you put your input on the talk page of this category? The problems are that the category should either be deleted or renamed.Bernolákovčina (talk) 00:54, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
