Hello, AndieM13, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

MOTDs (This space for rent)

You may have noticed over the past few days that the MOTD that you link to on your user page has simply displayed a red link. This is due to the fact that not enough people are reviewing pending MOTDs here. Please help us keep the MOTD template alive and simply go and review a few of the MOTDs in the list. That way we can have a real MOTD in the future rather than re-using (This space for rent). Any help would be appreciated! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 16:09, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

March 2012 MOTD's award for helping the project in a difficult time

The MOTD Barnstar
The MOTD Barnstar is awarded to AndieM13 for her invaluable contribution to our project, which was experiencing a period of extreme scarcity. Thank you from Motto of the day. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 10:59, 13 March 2012 (UTC)


Additional note: Hoping that you feel comfortable with us, we hope and desire that you will want to continue contributing to our/your project. I personally think that if many of us contribute, then about ten minutes per week, by reviewing the existing nominations, and eventually adding new nominations, should be more than enough to get the project going! Once again, thank you from your Motto of the day. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 10:59, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Hey! Still up for adoption? I am happy to help you settle in! I see you are involved in a project already, which is good. Anyways, drop me a note if you are still interested! Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 02:49, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Talkback

I already had Twinkle installed, but I'm not sure exactly what I can do with it. Oddly enough, I don't remember seeing the Talkback button before :/

A wise man once said, if one can utilize Twinkle, one can rule the world. When you are reading an article, and you feel it doesn't look like a complete Wikipedia article, you can use it to tag the page with maintenance tag; why don't you try that with Special:NewPages, a lot of these pages need maintenance tags. If you have already done that, then can you tell me what you want to learn? I can point you in the right direction (Wikipedia is pretty vast). Peace x Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 16:36, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: User:Jweston1

Hello AndieM, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of User:Jweston1, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Clearly not vandalism, this is a user making test edits on their own userpage. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you.   -- Lear's Fool 13:51, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

That's all right. Sorry for the trouble. AndieM (Am I behaving?) 14:33, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
No worries. It's good to see new editors trying their hand at new-page patrolling, just make sure you take your time while you're learning. Please feel free to hit me up on my talkpage if you have any questions whatsoever.  -- Lear's Fool 14:43, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I tagged Gireesh chemrakadan for speedy deletion A7 because the user who created is also by the name User:Gireesh chemrakadan and he has also removed your tag. By the way sorry for any trouble. Happy editing. Solomon7968 (talk) 06:38, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

It's all right. I guess it just meets both criteria then. The user contested the deletion because he didn't understand the criteria and I left him a note. AndieM (Am I behaving?) 06:40, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Hey AndieM, seems like you've been quite busy on WP, is everything OK? Need a hand with anything? Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 19:16, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

The Costa Report

Hi Andie, Thank you for your help with moving user: The Costa Report to The Costa Report (an article). I have created it as an article but now I don't know how to get rid of the user one. I chose The Costa Report as a user name because I thought I was naming the page. I would be happy to change that too but I don't know how. Suggestions? Thanks again! Linda — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Costa Report (talk • contribs) 18:09, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

It looks like you have been blocked for having an inappropriate username. Just create a new account; there should be no problem with that. AndieM (Am I behaving?) 18:49, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined

Hi AndieM. Thank you for your work on patrolling new pages and tagging for speedy deletion. I'm just letting you know that I declined your deletion request for Skyflite london, a page that you tagged for speedy deletion, under criterion A3 because the criterion you used or the reason you gave does not cover this kind of page. because author blanked the page, it qualifies for G2 Please take a moment to look at the suggested tasks for patrollers and review the criteria for speedy deletion. Particularly, the section covering non-criteria. Such pages are best tagged with proposed deletion, proposed deletion for biographies of living persons, or sent to the appropriate deletion discussion. Yasht101 11:37, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

I was unaware it had been blanked. Thank you! AndieM (Am I behaving?) 11:39, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
Ah..Its okay, it happens to me also many times. Please take care of one thing before tagging pages; View the history, because, there might also be a vandal work by someone which makes the article qualify for CSD or PROD or AfD though in reality it isn't. It happens rarely so no need for all articles, but in case of a article qualifying for A1 or A3, always do it. I saw your edits. They are really good, and yes, you are behaving well. Happy patrolling! Yasht101 11:45, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the corrections and....um, Kind words :)

no it is not a single issue account, but only an attempt to get agreement first before the page is posted if you actually bothered to read the talk page. now i suggest you talk to you local police to see what personal danger you are in. i am fed up. you can type your lies but they know the danger — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bunglezippy (talk • contribs) 23:08, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi AndieM. The Wikimedia emergency team have been made aware of this threat, and are investigating. Yunshui 雲‍水 10:10, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
This is odd, considering I live nowhere near Somerset. AndieM (Am I behaving?) 11:44, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Talk page archiving

Hi Andie. I notice that you've just manually archived your talkpage (after the Downside issue, your pages show up on my watchlist). I don't know if you're aware, but there are automated systems that can do this rather onerous task for you - I use MiszaBot, which works very well. It's pretty straightforward to use; just add the following code:

{{User:MiszaBot/config | algo = old(7d) | archive = User talk:AndieM/Archives/%(year)d/%(monthname)s }} {{Usertalkconcise}} {{archives}}

to the top of your userpage and the bot will do the rest. Instructions on how to change the parameters to suit your personal preferences are here (the setup above will archive all threads older than one week into datestamped archives). There's no need to do this if you don't want to - nothing wrong with manual archiving - but I thought you might like to know that the option's there. Yunshui 雲‍水 13:22, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

I've set it up. Thank you! AndieM (Am I behaving?) 13:35, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Cool coincidence Ma'am. You born in Bombay 14yrs ago, I shifted into Bombay 14 years ago. Even more interesting coincidence is that both of us joined Wikipedia at the age of 13. Happy editing. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 06:59, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

That is actually quite interesting :) However, there really is no need to be so formal; I'm just Andie to you. Happy editing to you too! AndieM (Am I behaving?) 16:57, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
I've had a bit of a problem being informal at times. Don't ask why. It's possibly because I've dealt with so many IPs who assume that they're right. : ). Chhers, --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 08:16, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Ichthus: May 2012


ICHTHUS

May 2012

From the Editor

This month marks the observation of Pentecost, one of the most important feast of the Christian liturgical year. It is our hope here that all of you, regardless of your religious affiliation (if any), find that the holiday, and its accompanying activities, an enjoyable and beneficial experience. We also hope that this "Birthday of the Church" is one which gives you the same joy as the birthday of yourself or your loved ones.

Ichthus is the successor to the long running WikiProject Christianity newsletter, run under the WikiProject Christianity’s Outreach department. As such, you will continue to see information about our latest featured and good articles, DYKs, as well as new members who have joined our project. You might also see links to Christianity related news from the mainstream media!

With that, I wish you all happy reading!

Help Bring Wikipe-tan "into the fold"

As many of you may know, our unofficial mascot, dear Wikipe-tan, hasn't yet indicated any particular beliefs. However, yes, as we all know, ahem, some people might object to our beloved mascot running around in a French maid outfit. People do talk, you know. ;) If anyone might be able to develop an image of the dear lady in a image more, well, "Christian," I would like to see perhaps a vote for next month as to which, if any, image of the dear girl we might make our own unofficial mascot. Please post your images here.

Christianity in other wikis

As many of you might now, there are a large number of other Wikimedia Foundation projects, including WikiSource, Wiktionary, Wikibooks, WikiQuote, and others. I certainly believe that Wikibooks and Wikiquote might be among the more directly relevant sister projects. If any of you can think of any particular efforts in these other projects which you think would benefit from more input, please let us know here, so we can help spread the word around.

Spotlight on the Outreach department

Ichthus will spotlight a different subproject or workgroup of WikiProject Christianity. This edition will spotlight on our vital Outreach department. This comparatively small, but vital, project unit is dedicated to welcoming new editors to Wikipedia and the Christianity related content, and to providing information to the various project members, in forms like this newsletter.

The scope of articles with which this group deals is truly enormous, and, given the wide variety of material with which we deal, we would very much welcome the input of more individuals, particularly individuals who are particularly knowledgeable of the less well-known and less frequently monitored articles related to Christianity.

Speaking personally, I would be very, very gratified if we were to have this become a very, very large and active unit, with members from the broad spectrum of Christian beliefs, practices, and groups. The broader the spectrum and areas of expertise of members we have, the better we will be able to help manage the content. Please consider whether you believe you might be able to contribute in this vital area.

As long as it is not a blatant advertisement or an attack, users are allowed considerable freedom on their user page - see WP:UP. Though this was nonsense - it looks like someone playing with the keyboard - there is no need to delete it. Since the user is new, the thing to do is add {{welcome}} or one of the other Welcome messages to give them links to some useful advice. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 09:20, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

I believe

... in the statements contained in the Nicene Creed. I believe that the Bible is one of the two defining bases for belief. The other is the Sacred tradition, which provides us with means of interpreting the Scriptures, as well as some teachings which have been handed on by God outside of the scriptures. I believe that the Magisterium has been empowered to fill this interpretative function. I believe that clerical celibacy is a rule that should generally be followed. I am a member of the Catholic Church.

How about the alternative collapsed toolbox I made at User:AndieM/Sandbox 2? The {{Navboxes}} template you were using is really for containing multiple navboxes rather than for textual lists; with {{Collapse top}} and {{Collapse bottom}} you have a lot more flexibility regarding the formatting of material inside.
