User talk:Bobby Jim

Hi, Bobby Jim, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the Five pillars of Wikipedia and simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will be by to help you shortly.

Additional tips

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!


West Plains, MO

Have deleted Stephen W. Thompson twice. No such person in Wikipedia, although there are multiple people of note who might be meant. Perhaps you could create the article for the person you're referencing, or add a note to clarify notability, so that another Wikipedian can do likewise? Otherwise, the name will be suspected of being a vanity item or a joke, and will be deleted again. DavidOaks 19:19, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Five will get you the datestamp only.
  • You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
  • If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
  • If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Happy Wiki-ing. —Kf4bdy talk contribs

Not to worry! Your references are all still there -- they've just been converted from displayed text into more-easily clickable footnotes. DavidOaks (talk) 18:58, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed both items -- the display refs operator was missing, and the other simply was an inappropriate category listing. Don't know about the explosion -- if your Dad's records were hosed in that garage, and if the dates fit... DavidOaks (talk) 20:13, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the correction regarding Trans-World Airlines, what alerted me originally was that you had created a redlink. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 23:25, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bobby Jim--the address you tried was incorrect. It's udbuckboard@hotmail.com. Looking forward to hearing from you.--Reedmalloy (talk) 18:45, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, I'm Arxiloxos. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Cheviot Hills, Los Angeles, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. I could find no source connecting LeRoy Prinz to Cheviot Hills. If there is a reliable source that does so, please feel free to re-insert his name, with a footnote citing the source. Thank you. Arxiloxos (talk) 01:10, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your message on my talk page. Your comment about having visited LeRoy Prinz is noted, but Wikipedia does not include factual assertions that are based on "original research", such as an editor's personal knowledge, for which reliable, published sources do not exist. Please see Wikipedia:No original research.
By the way, in the future, please sign your posts on talk pages by adding four tildes at the end of the message, like this ~~~~ Thank you for your participation at Wikipedia. --Arxiloxos (talk) 02:24, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

First aerial victory by the U.S. military listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect First aerial victory by the U.S. military. Since you had some involvement with the First aerial victory by the U.S. military redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so.
