Additional tips
Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!
- If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
- You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Five will get you the datestamp only.
- You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
- If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for undeletionpage if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
- If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
- 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.
Happy Wiki-ing. —Kf4bdy talk contribs

Thanks for adding Computer programming to Programming (disambiguation). I forgot the most obvious meaning when I created the page! - dcljr (talk) 22:51, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for adding an article on Lehmer's GCD algorithm. Your reference for one result in that article was TAOCP "volume 4, section 5.3" — I wasn't aware that volume 4 had been published yet! (And Knuth's Web site agrees with me.) Is that result mentioned in one of the publicly available "fascicles" for Volume 4 [1], or was that a typo for "Volume 3" or something similar, or do you have access to drafts of TAOCP that aren't publicly available yet? Just curious. --Quuxplusone 21:57, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- l33t draftz? I wish. To be honest, I dragged it from some other source mentioning the result. Yeah, lazy me. Well, the recent earthquake around Taiwan has also intruded on a couple of fiber-optic lines so I'm out of action for a while. No online research for three weeks. Hopefully other Random Wiki Joe will help us fix the reference, if it's indeed broken. Jafet 15:34, 2 January 2007 (UTC)]

OOOPS!
It looks like your recent edit deleted most of the content of Wikipedia:Deleted articles with freaky titles. Just wanted to give you a heads-up in case you wish to (carefully) try again :o) --Clubjuggle T/C 16:40, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello. Could you elaborate on your objections to the words you deleted in this edit? Michael Hardy (talk) 17:26, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

"None of which seem to apply here" makes no sense. It is quite conventional to say that a method requiring no knowledge of mathematics beyond first-year calculus is "elementary". Two-and-a-half digits would mean within 10 −2.5 = about 0.00316. Being precise about measuring "quickness" is not easy, but this argument is so short that it's hard to imagine anyone thinking it's not "quick". Obviously a mental mnemonic would not qualify; that's absurd. "Source it or purge it" has somewhat limited applicability to things the reader can see for himself. If I call two lines of iambic tetrameter "a short poem", will there be controversy about whether it qualifies as "short", requiring one to cite authoritative literature calling it "short"? Michael Hardy (talk) 18:04, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
- The entire sentence that is being contested here, is superflous. It impresses no point that is not an editor's personal opinion or simply unsubstantiated original claims. What is the purpose of that sentence at that point in the article? It does not state a verifiable fact, nor discuss such a fact. I do not see how the inclusion of that sentence improves the quality of the article, by Wikipedia standards.
- Be careful handling that straw-man; it looks pretty fragile to me. A "short poem" has, depending on context, some well-defined meaning. Compared to brisk, repetitive flick of one's palm.
- Again, you have not defined "quick". It takes a whole article-full of exposition for a less-inclined reader to arrive at the result, while for a smart mathematician, shouldn't the correct word be "immediate"? "Elementary", again, can mean Speaker of many words 19:05, 16 August 2008 (UTC)]

David L Cook article
YOu just placed a remark on the David Cook article. I am unsure as to what incomplete statement you are talking about. Can you please clarify? Thank you Canyouhearmenow 11:21, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
- I actually placed the remark on its voicemail 11:25, 3 October 2008 (UTC)]
- Are you speaking of the part that talks about the initials in his name? I am usure as to where this double quote is? I guess its too early for me to see it? Canyouhearmenow 11:29, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
- At the end of paragraph 2 in the article:
Cook's lyrics often take a look at the church and the problems that they face when it comes to handing down judgment upon common people with everyday problems."
- Note the extra quote at the end. ~ voicemail 11:37, 3 October 2008 (UTC)]
