I am a middle aged male in the United States. I began using Wikipedia in 2004. To date, most of my edits have been fixing typos and creating links in articles that I was reading for pleasure. Some day, I'll have time to add something of real substance, but in the meantime I applaud all those who have helped create this great resource.

Thanks for correcting my typoes at Oceanographic Museum. I tend to type fast and it was late last night when I posted the article. I've noticed I made the exact same typoes somewhere else in the text, but I corrected myself in time. Since you are a typo-corrector, how'd you like to check my articles? I could really use someone like you if that's OK with you and if you have time. Check out my (only) other article Toyota Aygo and if you have time, tell me the quality of my articles and suggestions/comments. Feel free to write anything in my User_talk:Dungodung... With regards... User:Dungodung 08:35, 4 May 2005 (UTC) : Oh unfortunately, I don't have any articles left for checking. Last two days, I've been concentrating on Commons and Serbian version, so I didn't do much in the English part. When I make some, I'll be sure to contact you. --User:Dungodung 18:05, 5 May 2005 (UTC) Hi there! I spotted your idea on stub-improvement-or-timed-deletion on Neutrality's RFC... I think the idea has merit and could use some further discussion. Maybe you would consider taking it to the village pump, or VFD talk or something. Yours, User:Radiant!User_talk:Radiant!meta:mergist 07:44, May 19, 2005 (UTC) *Having given the matter some thought, I'd refer you to both WP:WSS and the proposal for Wikipedia:Countdown deletion. It is often argued that a stub containing little information might as well be deleted, as in the creation of a real article it's just as easy to start from scratch as from the stub. There is some precedent for merging large amounts of stubs. User:Radiant!User_talk:Radiant!meta:mergist 09:13, May 20, 2005 (UTC) == Did you know? ==

:Template:Did you know has been updated and a fact from the article William McKendree, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you have another interesting fact to submit, then please suggest it at :Template talk:Did you know.

== Actually, I'm not an admin! == Sorry, I can't delete pages - I'm not an administrator (though I may try for it next year). -- BDAbramson">User:BDAbramson User talk:BDAbramson 04:13, 2005 Jun 3 (UTC) == Due process... == Sorry. I can not do that for you as much as I like to. I don't wish to abuse my administrative power, so I must ask you to go to WP:RFPM (requests for page moves). As the Wikipedia is built on community consensus, I don't know whether your move is considered conversional or what. I don't know the full story therefore I can not, in good conscience, act in good faith for the community. --User:AllyUnion User talk:AllyUnion 05:16, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC) : Done. Sometimes I feel like a Vogon, and for that I apologize. I suggest that the person should be placed under the name, and a simple note at the top about the company would do just fine. Furthermore, you can mark it as and explain why. An administrator will come by to see why and do that for you. --User:AllyUnion User talk:AllyUnion 09:03, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC) == Lazlow == Hi! I've expanded this article using the link you posted on the [[Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Lazlow|Lazlow VfD] and my own knowledge. Please have a look at the article and expand it if you can - it should survive VfD now. User:Harro5 23:09, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC) ==Re:== Removed VfD tag and withdrew vote once I saw that info was added... At first glance, page seemed like vanity when i put up the VfD and has now since changed. Sorry for the inconvinience. User:SasquatchUser_talk:SasquatchSpecial:Contributions/Sasquatch 05:55, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC) == Re: Which speedy did I do? == I'm trying, so which speedy so I'll remember next time. What article did I improperly speedy? User:Antares33712 19:47, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC) :Sorry, I always WANTED the speedy, BUT the poster kept removing it. IF you check the history log, you'll see I was the second editor (with the speedy). It has been a fight to keep the speedy on the page, so I was tryign to list it elsewhere to make sure it was properly reviewed and deleted. I apologize for not following procedure, though I've been a Wikipedia user for almost a year (logged since January), I am new to this stuff User:Antares33712 20:18, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC) ::OKO, then I apologize. I will remove speedy when I get a chance User:Antares33712 21:39, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC) == Inheritance Trilogy == Thanks for your typo fixing on the Eragon summary. I just wanted to ask you if you agreed with me about deleting the subcategory for Inheritance Races. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_talk:Inheritance_races Talk:Inheritance Races] Thanks for your time. User:Aznph8playa 01:00, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC) == Mean Girls == I think that your new wording is better, though the high school could just as easily have been based on nearby New Trier High School or another nearby high school named North Shore Country Day. ==Response== DS, I agree entirely with you on the WP Carey subject :) Sorry for being defensive. It's just that the anonymous IP who posted that (and the other articles I put up for voting) has been quite aggressive in defending them, so I just assumed (my fault) that you were jumping on his bandwagon. I ''was'' mildly confused, because I know that you're a good VfDer and solid wikipedian. And, more importantly, you're entirely correct. I guess we just have to chalk it up to Wikipedians having a certain knowledge base - being skewed towards the Internet and popular culture (by definition of popular culture, more persons will be knowledgeable of it than, say, economics, business, or history, to take some examples). It's just part of the system. I note that you've voted reasonably on the other ASU pages (like Andrew Harrison), so thanks. All I can say is... let's keep working. As long as everyone who can is honestly trying to contribute, I am certain that we can work around misunderstandings and keep vandalism out of Wikipedia.

I promise to continue working to develop and improve this article. -- BDAbramson">User:BDAbramson User talk:BDAbramson 15:21, 2005 Jun 17 (UTC)
