Welcome Amiwikieditor!

Now that you've joined Wikipedia, there are 48,443,084 registered editors!

Hello, Amiwikieditor. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

My name is Patrick (and my username is Pdebee), one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:   Introduction to Wikipedia   The five pillars of Wikipedia   Editing tutorial   How to edit a page   Simplified Manual of Style   The basics of Wikicode   How to develop an article   How to create an article   Help pages   What Wikipedia is not

Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:   Do be bold   Do assume good faith   Do be civil   Do keep cool!   Do maintain a neutral point of view   Don't spam   Don't infringe copyright   Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest   Don't commit vandalism   Don't get blocked

If you need further help, you can:   Ask a question

or you can:   Get help at the Teahouse

or even:   Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:   Fight vandalism   Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome   Help contribute to articles

Perform maintenance tasks   Become a member of a project that interests you   Help design new templates

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.

Sincerely, Patrick. ツ Pdebee.^{(talk)(guestbook)} 08:02, 2 September 2016 (UTC)   (Leave me a message)

Your page's first line

If you want to find pages to edit you may be interested in using SuggestBot! VarunFEB2003 15:17, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

Updates by 'Suggestbot'

Dear Amiwikieditor
I hope you won't mind if I intrude once again, this time regarding the updates that Suggestbot adds to your talk page.
You could consider segregating these bulky updates out to a dedicated page of their own, like I do, so that they no longer loom so large on your talk page. If the idea appeals, then it's a straightforward creation of a new user page:

User:Amiwikieditor/Suggesbot

inside which you then simply insert the template that triggers Suggesbot's updates:

{{User:SuggestBot/config|frequency = twice a month|replace}} (in my case)

Please forgive me for offering this piece of unsolicited advice (), especially if you'd already considered such a solution but discarded it because you do prefer that Suggestbot adds its tables of articles directly into your talk page.
With kind regards;
Patrick. ツ Pdebee.^{(talk)(guestbook)} 18:04, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks Pdebee - I actually considered making a page for Suggestbot, and got too lazy. I will move it out eventually, yes. Thanks for looking out for me. Amiwikieditor (talk) 18:56, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

You're most welcome! Happy editing...

Grouping your userboxes.

My userboxes

tyop
typoThis user is a member of the
Wikipedia Typo Team.

This editor is a WikiGnome.

Dear Amiwikieditor;
I hope you won't mind that I noticed you relocated your userboxes to the bottom of the page, after some spacing lines were removed by another editor, which resulted in your userboxes being misaligned alongside the TOC. Here are two possible alternatives for you to consider, to keep your userboxes at the top of your page:

1. add the following code, as-is, as the first four lines at the top of your page:

{{User Typo Team}} {{User wikipedia/WikiGnome}}

{{clear}}

__TOC__

== Things I am working on ==

2. group your userboxes, as shown on the top right, by adding the following code as the first five lines at the top of your page:

{{Userboxtop|My userboxes}}

{{User Typo Team}}

{{User wikipedia/WikiGnome}}

{{Userboxbottom}}

== Things I am working on ==

At least, with either of these two solutions, your userboxes won't need to be confined to the bottom of your page anymore...
With kind regards;
Patrick. ツ Pdebee.^{(talk)(guestbook)} 11:24, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

As usual Patrick, you are being awesome. Is there somewhere I can go and vote for you? :) I had thought about searching the right way to put the userboxes, but then I got lazy and just moved them to the bottom. Thanks for helping out. Amiwikieditor (talk) 12:05, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Dear Amiwikieditor;

You're most welcome; it's always a pleasure to be of assistance.

I would also suggest that you consider looking at the templates I'll be adding at the top of your talk page in a moment; they are quite prevalent but if you don't like them, then of course please just remove them. Also, when you are ready to set up your talk page archiving system, feel free to ask me for guidance, if you need any.

With kind regards for now;

Patrick. ツ Pdebee.^{(talk)(guestbook)} 13:17, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Air India Flight 182

Hi, I don't know how old are you. With due respect towards you, I would request you to ask any elder about the 1985 Kanishka bombing Air India Flight 182

This edit is preposterous.

You actually believe that Abhinav Bharat is funded by government of India? They are bringing sources from Pakistani writers and making POV edits.

This is where the Hindu terror can be moved Saffron terror. They are trying to make it look like the Indian government funded these groups. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Googly Drive (talk • contribs) 17:30, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Googly Drive - Thank you for your message. I understand why you are changing the text on these pages, but blanking out whole sections without providing reasons or without discussions on the talk page is not very constructive at all. Perhaps providing references to how these are hoaxes, etc. might be even better. All I did was notice that you had removed sections which were referenced. I am new to wikipedia, but I understand that a neutral point of view is critical in keeping wikipedia what it is. So, no, I won't need to go ask elders what really happened - I would rather go look for published resources.

Shweta Basu Prasad

Hi Amiwikieditor. The Wikipedia page that you are questioning me for IS MY page. I AM Shweta Basu Prasad. I want permission to edit my Wikipedia page. I don't want the edited/removed content to be restored. Please send me your email address where I can verify myself. I am a little tired if repeated editing and the redundant restoration. It's a wrong information about me that you (or whoever) has put up there. I request you to please help me out here. Regards, SHWETA BASU Prasad — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sonu 11 (talk • contribs) 18:18, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi Amiwikieditor. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 04:09, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello. I'm working on it. Please slow down with the tags. --Rosiestep (talk) 03:36, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

Sorry about that Rosiestep - looks like I got a little trigger-happy trying out AWB.

Cogeco Peer 1 orphan tag

Hi Amiwikieditor, there are two articles that link to Cogeco Peer 1: Cogeco and Rackspace. Can the orphan tag be removed? Thank you. --User:JS2020 (talk) 14:04, 10 November 2016 (EST)
