Hello and welcome to Wikipedia!
Here are some tips to help you get started:
- If you haven't already, please add your name to the new user log to let others know a little about yourself.
- Read the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the Sandbox.
- Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
- If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk or ask me on my talk page.
- To sign your name on a talk page, please finish your comments with ~~~~ (four tildes). The wiki will insert a link to your userpage and the timestamp.
- Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!
Good luck! JFW | T@lk 12:51, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)
PS: We love having more doctors around. Please look at WikiProject "Clinical medicine", which is where most active wiki-doctors have gathered over the last few months. Do feel free to join!

Chicago
Because of your work with the WikiProject Cities I'd like you to take a look at the Chicago article if you have the time & desire. It is currently up for Peer Review (see Chicago Talk) and I would enjoy hearing your feedback to help guide the growth of this article. Jasenlee 01:14, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
ship rates
Hi, I take it you didn't see my comment at Talk:Rating system of the Royal Navy - I think you're making a hash of what was a reasonable design that linked well. Since I don't want to summarily undo all your work, please respond at that talk page before going too much further. Stan 06:28, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Plague in NYC
I can't access that .pdf article for some unknown error reason (Microsoft sucks?). In my Epidemiology courses I've been told that plague occured in small outbreak in NYC during a garbage-collector's strike in the 80s. I'm sure I had a reliable web-source somewhere too. Due to the sudden increase in garbage on the streets, rat numbers, and their plague infected fleas, grew dramatically and their contact with humans grew greatly - resulting in several cases of bubonic-form plague. I'll try and find a source during the week. I'll leave it until then. --ZayZayEM 04:01, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
T'ai Chi tree.
Greetings Petersam. Nice work on the T'ai Chi tree. I've been remarkably busy lately and unable to contribute in any major way, unfortunately. I have added a caveat to the bottom of the tree. Yang Zhenduo (Yang Chengfu's son) has publicly stated that the shorter forms appended to his branch of the tree are not to be considered Yang style, so I thought to mention that. I may start a new article soon on how forms are judged for wushu competition (if I ever get any time off) which you may find interesting. Regards, Fire Star 16:44, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
- Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
- Multi-Licensing Guide
- Free the Rambot Articles Project
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
- Option 1
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
OR
- Option 2
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit§ion=new)| talk)
New ship table template
I've spent the last few days working on a new ship table template to enable us to centralise the editing of things like weapons outfits for a particular class of ships in one template (so with the Fletchers or Gearings or other big classes you only have to edit in one place to alter a mistake rather than in dozens or hundreds). Please have a look at the WikiProject Ships page's talk section and see what you think. I haven't written the instructions for using it yet, and I want to see whether there are any table cells people would like me to include that aren't present yet. There are two example tables, one with all the optional cells present, and the other with some excluded. David Newton 14:10, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
PMID template
Hi there -- thanks for your diligent removal of {{PMID}} references, even on my user subpages. :-) It's much appreciated. Best, David Iberri | Talk 09:02, Feb 9, 2005 (UTC)
Civil Air Patrol
Hello, I noticed that you supported Civil Air Patrol for FA; I just wanted to say thank you. I'm currently a cadet, and I've got ideas of going into the Air Force. This article is my first major commitment on Wikipedia, and I'm proud to know some people are voting for it.
After looking at your user page, it came to my attention that you were in the Navy. Would you be interested in listing yourself on Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by military branch?
Once again, thanks for the vote! Linuxbeak 20:47, May 5, 2005 (UTC)
Protected page
Greetings Petersam! I have protected the T'ai Chi Ch'uan page temporarily to discourage the spammer(s) who have been working over the external links section. If you want it unblocked in the meantime for editing, let me (or another admin if I'm offline) know, I'll be happy to do so for you. Fire Star 04:47, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
Oakland Chinatown
I'd just like to commend you for the time you've been spending on the Chinatown, Oakland article (and the Oakland article as well). --Andy M. 19:43, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Gangtok map
I personally don't think that Gangtok's relation to India (as opposed to Sikkim) should be highlighted, but anyways I've replaced the Gangtok location map. Regards, =Nichalp (Talk)= 15:50, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
