Five Pillars of Wikipedia
Float around for awhile until you find something that tickles your fancy. One easy way to do this is to hit the random page button in the navigation bar to the left. There are also many great committees and groups that focus on particular jobs. My personal favorite stomping grounds are Wikipedia:Translation into English and Wikipedia:Cleanup for sloppy articles. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki projects that you might enjoy.
There are a few crucial points to keep in mind when editing. Be civil with users, strive to maintain a neutral point of view, verify your information, and show good etiquette like signing your comments with four tildes like this: ~~~~ If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask me anything on my talk page or ask the true experts at Wikipedia:Help desk. Again, welcome! -- Draeco 18:48, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Simpsons' Picture
Hi Andouble,
You posted the picture on the right with a link to the The Old Man and the Lisa episode. But I believe this a picture of the mathemagician from Martin's party in the Grade School Confidential episode. As such, I have removed it from the List of The Simpsons episodes page. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks for your work on Wikipedia so far.

[edit] Junior Players
I admire your enthusiasm, but is there really any point to creating articles about junior hockey players? Take Evan McGrath for example, I myself am a Kitchener Rangers fan, but I am skeptical about if he will even make the NHL. He is a fourth round draft pick, and did not make the Canadian Junior Team either in his senior year, as well. My point is, if we start trying to make articles about all the junior players, we are wasting energy that could be put to better use into improving our NHL player articles that we already have, or better yet, creating new articles about NHL players that haven't been created yet (and there are tons of those).
Junior players might not be considered notable enough to be in an encyclopedia, because there are even hundreds of junior stars in any given year. I would like to hear your own thoughts on this.
As well, when you create hockey articles, don't forget to add the WikiProject Ice Hockey template on the talk page, as I did on the Boris Valabik article.

[edit] Double Linking
Just a little notice, there is no need to link things twice and in fact it is discouraged to be providing more than one link to the same article (ie. NCAA, and then linking to NCAA later on), Why? I'm not entirely sure, but that doesn't mean there isn't a reason. Its just I noticed that you were putting multiple links to leagues in the honours and awards sections of players. Keep up the good work! Croat Canuck 02:55, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] International Play
Hey. Your contribs are great, but I think you misunderstand what the "International Play" section was meant for in the player articles. I think it meant for IIHF sanctioned international tournaments like the World Championships and the Olympics and not for intranational play that just happens to be in a country not the US or Canada. ccwaters 16:20, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Agents Wanted To Help Investigate The X-Files
Hello, I noticed your interest in X-Files. I'm a member of the [X-Files Wiki]. Our community is small and needs alot of work, unlike Star Trek, Star Wars and over over-populated Wikias we are crying out for content and help not cutting, deleting and mercilessly re-editing. I wonder if you'd like to help?
We have alot of tidying and re-structuring to do on X-Files articles on regular Wikipedia also. If you'd like to discuss how you could help any further, give me a shout. Thanks!

[edit] Junior B Teams
Hello, a user has decided that he does not want us placing hockey stubs on Wikipedia to expand later into teams. In particular he doesn't like Junior teams... I was wondering if you could please voice your opinion. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thunder Bay Northern Hawks DMighton 01:08, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] AfD Nomination Maggie's Revenge
I've nominated the article Maggie's Revenge for deletion under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that Maggie's Revenge satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. I have explained why in the nomination space (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Maggie's Revenge. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them. You are free to edit the content of Maggie's Revenge during the discussion, but please do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top). Doing so will not end the discussion. -- MOE.RON talk | done | doing 21:19, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:BBoyes.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:BBoyes.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell (talk) (random) 18:17, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
