Welcome
Hello there, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need pointers on how we title pages visit Wikipedia:Naming conventions or how to format them visit our manual of style. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. Cheers! --maveric149
Thanks and tildes
I thought so - thanks for editing limit (music) appropriately. By the way - if instead of typing [[Hyacinth]] at the end of your posts you type three tildes, thus: ~~~ they'll be turned into a link to your user page (which is probably more useful than a link to an article about the flower!). All the best--Camembert

Image link fixed
I fixed an imagine link on your user page - just thought I'd mention it in case you didn't notice and wanted to reformat it or anything. --Camembert
- Thanks, I noticed, I just couldn't figure it out.Hyacinth 01:42, 19 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Yacht
Just greeting here, nice to meet you! :) According to your Chinese astrology, I could tell how old r u! :) --yacht (Talk) 05:03, Dec 19, 2003 (UTC)
- Interesting? Hope so! :) No, I just enjoy talking, esp with gay people (I am not making a mistake, am I?), 'cause I don't know many of them! ( it seems that people here don't like to talk, just working, like a workaholic!) :) --yacht (Talk) 05:15, Dec 19, 2003 (UTC)
- "Should be put on an island"? You mean we gay and str8 should be separated? lOl, hopefully there were a "Queer Kingdom"! (joking). I do speak Chinese. :) And I have to have a rest for a while, writing Homosexuality in China really exhausted me... :$ --yacht (Talk) 09:34, Dec 19, 2003 (UTC)
- No, I mean the gay people should be killed :)Hyacinth 02:38, 2 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- Michael Nava wrote in his novel Burning Earth, that the Inferno of Dante is not quite so horrible for the homosexuals, because there are lots of darkskinned, muscular men running about there. Darkskinned because of the hot air and muscular because they are trained throw the running, to which they are condemned. So the moral of the story: Killing doesn't matter really. It's just the way to the next cruising area. Though I personaly would prefer to be reborned, and as a gay again. -- Philopp 16:54, 14 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- Great story. Actually, I'm kidding. I used to joke in high school that based on the gay people I'd met, I agree, it would be a good idea to put them on an island and, I quote, "let them die [of AIDS]." It might surprise some people that I would be told things like that by fellow students, but maybe it has something to do with where I grew up, see: Montana, Conrad Burns, Judy Martz
- I like Nava very much. His fictions are never simple detectiv fictions, there's always many social stuffs in them. My boyfriend said also often that they should put us on an island. I find it a very very bad idea. About whom should I laugh, when I am living only with gays on an island? But you get me a good idea: If they want to send human beings to Mars any way, they should chose gay astronauts and gay scientists. This is the best solution for many psychological, social and sexual problems during the long journey. -- Philopp 10:21, 16 Jan 2004 (UTC)
Move page
Hi - when you move a page (as you just moved bitonality to polytonality) could you use the "move this page" link if possible, rather than copying and pasting, please. That way, all the history of the page will get moved to the new location rather than being left behind. --Camembert
- No problem, thanks for the pointer.Hyacinth 01:50, 9 Jan 2004 (UTC)
Recipes
I noticed you've moved some recipes over to wikibooks, which I encourage, but you also made the pages at wikipedia into redirects to the wikibooks page, which is not so good. Interwiki redirects can be hard to find, as when you click the link in wikipedia you get sent to wikibooks, but the redirect page does not show up on the list of what links here at wikibooks. Thanks, Gentgeen 09:39, 1 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Interwiki link
I see again that your linking to wikibooks, but you're doing it the hard way, by typing in the url. An interwiki link can be made by just typing [[Wikibooks:Module Name]]. Interwiki links are fine, just interwiki redirects are bad. Thanks, Gentgeen
Montana Democratic party
I noticed that you work for the Montana Democratic party. I recently created lists of all the state Dem and Rep parties. Perhaps you like to write a little about the Mt Dem partySmith03 02:02, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)List of state Democratic Parties in the US
Edit summary
Thanks I mostly add links so I guess "add link" would work for the summary. gracias Arminius 21:12, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC) Hi what do u want me to write and edit summary for? Rajatster 06:14, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Edit summary
Please provide an edit summary, thanks. Hyacinth 20:19, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)
hehe, I think you will find that when you have been doing Wikipedia as long as I have that you learn where to put an edit summary and when not to trouble the recent changes list. Unless they are substantive changes to articles which I am driving, most of my edits will fall under the category of minor adjustments, and therefore probably not even worthy of note. Edit summaries are largely a matter of style: a quick scan of my contributions reveal that I use edit summaries in > 50% of cases and about 30% of the remainder are part of rolling ongoing edits; possibly 5% are borderline maybe should have edit summarised.
However, as a matter of concern, you should consider refactoring your talk page: it is in excess of 30k and this results in strain on the database servers. Sjc 09:04, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)
My talk page has been refactored as you suggested, thank you.
Everything on wikipedia is a matter of personal style, still: "Always fill the summary field is one of Wikipedia's guidelines. Even a short summary is better than no summary. Accurate summaries help people decide whether it is worthwhile for them to check a change. Summaries often pique the interest of wikipedians with an expertise in the area. This may not be as necessary for "minor changes", but (e.g.) "fixed spelling" would be nice even then."
Hyacinth 19:19, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Lol; a quick scan of your contributions brings to mind a phrase containing the words pot kettle and black. If you are going to criticise someone, do at least try and make sure you have your own house in order. You end up looking such a prat otherwise. Sjc 04:12, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Sorry, bad habit that... -- EmperorBMA|話す 22:05, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Hi which edit did you want me to give a summray off? i can go there and leave a summary. thanks Rajatster 05:12, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Art categories
Hi,
I noticed that you have recently created some sub-categories in the visual arts. Can I also encourage you to join the categorisation discussion at Category talk:Art -- Solipsist 21:03, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Categorising people
When adding people people to categories please pipe the category so they are sorted by surname first, like [[Category:Smith, John]]. ed g2s • talk 23:40, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday. Sorry I'm a little late. Keep up your good work on Wikipedia!!! [[User:Yardcock|Yardcock | talk]] 18:18, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)

Unemployed
Sorry to see that you are un-employed. I hope it was by choice. If you are job hunting, you might mention something about what you are looking for on your user page. I know that I'd recommend you for a job if I was aware of one that suited you. --Samuel Wantman 22:37, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)
