Welcome!
I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to
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.
- 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.
Recent edits at Function (mathematics)
- The second round of edits seems good to me. The definition is clearer now. I appreciate the desire to make things clearer; that's why I'm here, too.
- By the way, you can leave replies to comments on the same page, and I will know about them because they will appear on my watchlist. And you can sign your comments by putting four tildes at the end, which the software will reformat like this: CMummert 02:30, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Programming language
- I suggest we keep the discussion on the talk page. That way other people can weigh in on whether or not my contributions constitute vandalism. Pooryorick (talk) 22:12, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
- My comment was intended for you and I did not want to broadcast it to the world (I imagine that few people read talk pages). I would like to hear your take on why you continue to make changes after your initial, good faith changes, were shown to be very flawed. Derek farn (talk) 22:20, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
- I appreciate you exposing the errors in my changes. After each of my failed attempts, I went away, did some research and thinking, tried to get feedback about my ideas, and tried to improve my next attempt. Most importantly, I have tried not to be dismissive of anyone else in the process. When someone takes an hour out of their day to try to explain their changes on the talk page, it's not vandalism. If you look at each change I made, you will see that it differs in some semantic way from the previous change. That's because I am continuing to make good faith efforts to improve Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a lot of things to a lot of people. As Wikipedia matures, there is a trend by same group of experts who were responsible for the failure of nupedia to make Wikipedia articles more resistant to change. There is some interesting analysis out there about the strident objections Nupedia personnel had about Wikipedia. But in the end, Wikipedia won, precisely because it wasn't Nupedia. Your first comment makes it obvious that you feel a sense of ownership of certain Wikipedia articles. From time to time I have to step back from something I'm engaged in and recognize that I've slipped into overestimating myself, underestimating others, and thereby stopped being the team player I thought I was. It might be time for you to do that as well. Have you read this?: http://www.shirky.com/writings/group_enemy.html Pooryorick (talk) 10:40, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
- I am not doubting that your initial changes were made in good faith or that you continue to view your subsequent changes as being in good faith. I am objecting that a group of people who know something about the subject are effectively having to give you a one-on-one tutorial. This is a waste of our time and you are abusing Wikipedia for personal gain with no benefit accruing to Wikipedia. The best term I can think of, without getting overly personal, is vandalism. Derek farn (talk) 11:20, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
- Not at all. We're having a nice discussion on the talk page where I have pointed out the flaws in the first paragraph, and they have been well taken. You simply haven't deigned to participate, because you have dismissed me as a non-expert who is not worth listening to. FWIW, I've been in the field longer than I let on (the true laymen haven't digested GEB), but I play the layman because that is our audience here on Wikipedia. The experts further their understanding by reading peer-reviewed journals. Pooryorick (talk) 11:36, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
- I'd sugest not to take these Derek farn's comments in too much regard. Your editions can't be qualified as vandalism by any of its definitions, and you don't even need to justify your edits in the talk page (this would be stubbornness at worse). Disagreement over your opinions doesn't make them vandalism, although this word is used as an expletive too often within Wikipedia.
- Just keep trying, your idea has merit and if you can finally find the perfect way to convey it, it will be included (I have been through that process in this same article before). Defensive editors can be used as a challenge to express your ideas in a really great way to which anybody can raise objections. This can be tiresome, but if they act in good faith (and in this particular article, my experience is that they ultimately do) the result will be an improved article, thanks to the contributions of everybody.

Disambiguation link notification for April 3
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Message, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Discrete (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Pooryorick. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Pooryorick~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,

I am nearly certain I am the original account holder of the "pooryorick" name
in the wikimedia constellation. I first created the account "pooryorick" on
en.wikipedia.org probably back in 2005. I believe that the other "pooryorick"
accounts such as the one at ru.wikipedia.org are newer and also have not
contributed as much. I am requesting that the following accounts of mine be
unified under this original name:

- You are right. I'm looking into how that happened. Pooryorick (talk) 13:06, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

]Disambiguation link notification for April 3
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Message, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Discrete (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 08:58, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
Your account will be renamed
Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Pooryorick. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Pooryorick~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

I formally request the username "pooryorick"
I am nearly certain I am the original account holder of the "pooryorick" name in the wikimedia constellation. I first created the account "pooryorick" on en.wikipedia.org probably back in 2005. I believe that the other "pooryorick" accounts such as the one at ru.wikipedia.org are newer and also have not contributed as much. I am requesting that the following accounts of mine be unified under this original name:
pooryorick~enwiki pooryorick~enwikibooks
