Welcome to Wikipedia!!![edit]

Hello Sapient Vesta! Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. If you decide that you need help, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Please remember to sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. You may also push the signature button

located above the edit window. Finally, please do your best to always fill in the edit summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. Below are some pages to facilitate your involvement. Happy editing! -- Kukini ^{hablame aqui} 01:20, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Freshman fifteen[edit]

Please, go right on ahead and fix up the Freshman fifteen article. It's very considerate of you to ask permission on the talk page, but that's rarely necessary on Wikipedia. If you spot something, just go ahead and fix it. And welcome! -Joshuapaquin 04:37, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User talk page and user page info[edit]

Regarding user talk pages, it is best to not delete notices, but instead, to archive them. You will find how to do this here, under "When pages get too long." Your talk page is intended to serve as a place to discuss your contributions. It ends up being a sort of a history of the work you've done and the conflicts you've been in, or the praise you've received. It's alright to archive comments or warnings, but blanking your talk page is not considered appropriate, as it is not actually yours but instead belongs to us all. Please read WP:USERPAGE and WP:TALK. Actively erasing non-harassing personal messages can often be interpreted as hostile. In the past, this kind of behavior has been viewed as uncivil. For this reason, eventually when you desire to keep the "clutter" down on your user talk page, I suggest that you create archives for these messages. I would be happy to assist you in doing just that if you ask me to. You can see a sample of archives (mine) here. As for your user page, most users seem to use it as a place to describe themselves as people and/or editing entities. Many collect links to pages they are working on and/or have been working on. You user page is more "yours," in a way, than anywhere else on wikipedia, but is not intended to serve as a personal webpage either. Once again, read here to learn more about this. -Kukini ^{hablame aqui} 18:16, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey...just checking back...did the above answer your questions sufficiently?--Kukini ^{hablame aqui} 23:34, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Antsiranana Bay[edit]

Allow me to extend an apology for the not-so-warm welcome, Sapient Vesta. The merging of these particular articles would be unlikely, but stubs can and quite often do get merged into other articles. You can read about that here at WP:MM. I hope the initial reaction you received doesn't discourage you from editing. Robotman ¹⁹⁷⁴ 21:06, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. Cheers. Robotman ¹⁹⁷⁴ 21:14, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually[edit]

You appear to have borrowed the penguin from my page. But that is what people do on here. --Kukini ^{hablame aqui} 22:30, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
