Hello, Vector, and welcome to the Simple English Wikipedia! I hope you are happy editing here and being a Wikipedian. Some helpful pages to start you off are Wikipedia:Useful, Help:Contents and Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines.

If you want to meet and talk with other members, you can visit our version of the "village pump" at Wikipedia:Simple talk. Just remember that you should sign your messages on Talk pages by typing "~~~~" (four tildes) at the end of your words.

We have a special page that describes how to write Simple English articles. If you want some ideas of which pages to work on, read Wikipedia:Requested articles or the list of wanted pages.

We are also focusing on core articles until this Wikipedia grows. This list of topics will help show the types of topics we want most.

Even though it is a good idea to research an article (like looking at the discussion page) before making large changes, do not be afraid to be bold! Any changes you make that are not perfect can be fixed later.


If you need any help, send a message to an administrator on his or her talk page. Administrators on Wikipedia will try to help you with your problems and resolve them as soon as possible.

Finally, if you have any questions on how things work, don't hesitate to ask me. The best way to do that is to leave a message on my talk page. Good luck and happy editing! Billz (Talk) 14:38, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Grazie per votare! (Thank you for voting!)

Dear Vector, thank you for voting in my Rfa. Netoholic has concerns. As such, I will not be pormoted to administrator status. However, I do not hold it against him. Once again, grazie, grazie, il mio amico!--Tdxiang 02:28, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Administrator

It's my duty to point out that, consensus being reached on Wikipedia:Administrators, you are now an admin. Make sure to review all the current policies. If you intend to use the "Block user" function, you must keep your email address current and check for messages often. The big thing to remember is not to use your abilities in any conflicts (editing or otherwise) that you're directly involved. Other than that, I'd suggest starting out slowly, and feel free to contact me or another admin if you have any other questions or just need a second opinion. Try to keep to the core values of Simple:, and remember... we aren't just another EN: Wikipedia. -- Netoholic @ 06:27, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Warning vandals

Vector, you reverted an anon IP change at Abortion and warned the user. But the edit in question was not blatant vandalism, nor a test. The editor was explainign the meaning of a word. Maybe not necessary since the word was already explained, so reverting it may have been justified, but warning the user was not. Blockinblox 19:58, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Congratulazioni

Sono contento che la (piccola) comunità italiana su simple.wiki abbia un amministratore. Ricorda che le convenzioni su simple sono in parte diverse da quelle della Wikipedia in lingua italiana, in caso di dubbio, non avere timore a chiedere agli amministratori più esperti. Buon lavoro, M/ 22:23, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bureaucrat

New elections for bureaucrats on simple.wikipedia are going to start. Would you like to give a hand to simple.wikipedia and candidating here? --M7 17:14, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] partial restores

Why are you "clearing" the history of various pages (like the Sandbox)? This is not necessary, nor desired. If there is some personal information (or other major problems) in the history, report it to the developers by giving the "oldid" numbers. Otherwise, please don't do this as it you may be deleting records which may be important later. -- Netoholic @ 18:00, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thank you for lifting the block unfairly applied by Netoholic. This episode was also reported to Stewards. --M7 18:57, 12 November 2006 (UTC)


Vector, all you are doing is supporting M7's power grab. He is not an active editor on this wiki (fighting vandals occasionally, but anyone can do that). People who come onto a project and cause problems need to go. You are still learning, and I have tried to help you - and if I have one piece of advice, it is to not encourage politics on the wiki. -- Netoholic @ 19:05, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Congratulations!

Hooray for Vector, new sysop! You passed it, while... I... um... failed?--Tdxiang 03:10, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit counting

Vector, I don't know a whole lot about the Javascript edit counter, but your monobook seems to be correct, judging from en:User:Interiot/Tool2. Have you done a hard refresh (Ctrl-Shift-R) after updating your monobook.js file? Also, note that the tool does not work with Internet Explorer. Personally, I use http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/Tool1/wannabe_kate on the English Wikipedia; for other projects (including simplewiki), you should use http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/count_edits, not the Javascript or wannabe_kate tools. Cheers, Tangotango (talk) 08:50, 13 November 2006 (UTC)


Grazie, Dario.--Tdxiang 09:47, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Block him, thank you.--Tdxiang 09:52, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 203.97.98.98

He's on the loose. I think you shall block him, since I don't *ahem* have the powers.... :D Let's save Wikipedia! (P.S. If you think I'm weird, well, I'm in Esperanza. Cheers! MoglinFiend 01:43, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mary I of England

Vector, please protect this article. Thanks.--Tdxiang 09:36, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for your support

Thank you for the nice message you left on my page, and for your support to my admin candidacy -- Eptalon 15:27, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Promotions!

Hey there Vector!

Just saw your message to Tdxiang. Tdxiang's adminship has only been re-opened for 3 days now. Although I think we all know it's not likely to change, the stewards may not like it that much if it's put on Meta this early. Also, you mentioned about candidating yourself for CheckUser. I've nominated myself for it before (see the archives) and there just weren't enough people around to get the 25 votes necessary, and there has to be two or more CheckUsers, or none. Also, people might want you to be an admin a little longer before getting even more responsibility! If you want to go ahead with it you can of course, but I just don't think it's going to work out.

Keep up the good admin work! Thanks, Archer7 - talk 21:39, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] done, not done

Sure, thanks for creating them :) I'm entirely fine with those two templates - but I'm not overly fond of the voting image templates (Support, Oppose, etc.) that some wikis (like meta) have, so I think it's better to keep these templates down to a minimum. What do you think? Cheers, Tangotango (talk) 12:05, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, they look fine :) When I said I wasn't fond of voting image templates, I meant ones like these:
  • Support - Great user - Tangotango (talk) 12:11, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
which some people use on some wikis. They don't look good in every browser, clutter up Special:Whatlinkshere, etc. and are generally frowned upon. However, as I said, I think your templates are effective. Cheers, Tangotango (talk) 12:11, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Esperanza

Vector, I made a esperanza on wikiquote. I am wondering if you want to be its first vice president. If you want to tell me on my talk page and I will make a link to your user page where it says vice president. I need you to.--Sir James Paul 20:54, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I would like to make you president of wikiquote esperanza

Vector, I would love to make you president of wikiquote esperanza. You would make a great president. You will help this project so much. Answer me soon on my talk page.--Sir James Paul 03:06, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
