[[:|WP:NEW, WP:NUL]]

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! If you're new to our community, drop us a note here and tell us a little bit about yourself. Most important, we would like to know about your interests (for which we have a separate page), your areas of knowledge, and the sorts of things you'd like to work on here at Wikipedia. That makes it easier for us to help you start editing. We'd also appreciate it if you told us how you found out about Wikipedia.

To add yourself to the list:

post a comment,
enter your name as the subject/headline (which will make a new header for you in the log), and
sign your name at the end of your comment by typing four tildes: ~~~~. (This code makes a link to your user page, which readers can use to welcome you personally if they like).

Your comments will then be added to the bottom of the list.

You may also like to add yourself to other lists, such as the listing in order of arrival, by country, or by skills (such as translation or photography). Finally, if you want a little personal assistance in using or contributing to the site, you might go through one of the Bootcamps or you may wish be adopted by an experienced editor.

An automatically generated list of new users can be found at Special:Log/Newusers.

Hi! Found this place about a week ago. Posted a few new articles so far. Still learning the conventions. Have heard of wiki elsewhere on the web and found an article of interest to me here. Specific interests include history in general, with a specific interest the Catskill region of New York State. Also have a general interest in railroads.

Welcome to Wikipedia... feel free ask questions on my talk page if you want to know about how Wikipedia is run or if you need help with anything. — zorkmid ^EA 21:38, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Have just created username after getting into trouble for vandalism to Transposing instruments (within the last hour or so - currently 4.32am in Bundaberg, Australia). Sorry about that. I was just amazed that a nobody could change web pages just like that.

I have been a medical transcriptionist (diagnostic radiology) for about two years. Before that I taught piano and music theory for 8.5 years. I had a good reputation as a music teacher and have diplomas in piano performance and teaching. So maybe I can be of some use in these areas.

avaiki - jason brown

Kia orana, greetings, all,

I have been resident since I was 12 years old in Avaiki, Cook Islands, arriving there with my mother and younger brother in 1977. In 1982, I got a job as a reporter with the only daily newspaper, Cook Islands News, beginning a career that has taken me through most parts of the industry. I have wide general knowledge about the country's historical heritage, including links to Maori in New Zealand, Maohi in Tahiti and Maoli in Hawaii. My time has been very limited until this year when I basically stepped back from the frontlines and am recovering from burnout, etc, bla bla bla.

Wikipedia has saved my bacon as a reporter on so many occasions that I thought it was time to get involved more formally and put something back while rebuilding my personal life. Usual mid-life crisis, bla bla bla but no younger woman, yet.

Over my career, I have been humbled and honoured by seeing many amazing things, but the one that comes to mind is a young man from Fiji who visited my adoptive home island for a canoe festival. He scuffed away the gravel under his feet, knelt in the dust in front of the VIP tent, and asked forgiveness in advance from the aronga mana, the leaders of the land, for any offence he and his team mates caused through their ignorance of local custom. Likewise, me as I stumble into the wikisphere.

Kia manuia, bon chance,

jason brown editor avaiki.nius@gmail.com www.avaiki.blogspot.com +(64)210447497

Hi, fellow Wikipedeans. Been in and out of this site for quite a while now, found some thoroughly interesting articles and always one of the best places to come to find out about stuff.

Wikipedia is great because of quick reference. It can increase one's knowledge exponentially. However, the electronic factor is a problem insofar as the printed page is much more benign (no electronics). I have an initial comment regarding some Wikipedia procedure. To create articles you need going into "help" and clicking the blue keywords. Why not have "create a page" or article as an icon? I lost material initially and I had an account. I still don't know why I lost material. Also, I am tentative about putting info in because of so-called "session loss." Also a spell and grammar checker would be a nice added feature. No matter how professional you are, people still misspell words. People who don't use spell or grammar checkers are just arrogant and need to be more docible. I am a good speller, but typos are a norm. My Ph.D. is in English common Law and I am the leader of the spiritual teaching AKATHA, the Ancient Science of Sahaji (Soul Travel). I have been teaching Sahaji for thirty-five (35) years and recently came back from India living in a Hindu ashram for awhile. My websites are link titlewww.webspawner.com/users/timarnold and http//www.toi.t83.com. My e-mail is grnthghs@yahoo.com. Please feel free to contact me, but note that I wish not to argue and certain attitudes (negative) will not be responded to. Thank you.

Re-initiating Contact

Hi Robin, –This is Nandika. I contributed to a few articles last year under the user name 'Nandika'. I was a 3rd year Psychology student then, with a keen interest in mental health research. Since then, I have graduated and forgotten my login password; the new password is probably being sent to my student mail account which has been closed. Consequently, I have had to create a new login 'N. Narayan'and a new email address 'n.currey@gmail.com'. Would it be possible for me to access my old account; I would love to update the info on it and start re-contributing to the site. Hope to hear from you soon. Take care.

Kind regards,

N. Narayan 21:59, 12 October 2006 (UTC) Nandika[reply]

Rick Maerkle Rickmark 01:13, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello, my name is Frederick Joseph Maerkle lll, my friends know me as Rick Maerkle. Please call me Rick Maerkle.

I am a Business Broker in Florida, selling all kinds of businesses and small companies since 1990. Over 500 sold. Prior to my current career, I worked at Harris Corp in Electronic Engineering as an Engineering Specialist. I have worked on such projects as the space shuttle, F18 jet test electronics, B1B Bomber communication electronics, and several satellite systems.

I consider myself quite knowledgeable in most aspects of electronics, digital, RF, analog, software, computer systems, etc. I play a little at web page design.

My engineering background certainly does not hurt my ability to sell and understand most small businesses. Consider the 6 concrete inch flooring required for a machine shop and three phase electricity or special insulation required for a film warehouse. It seems that my engineering education has been quite helpful selling small businesses, restaurants, landscape companies, drafting service businesses, etc.

At 51 years of age, I have owned my own brokerage since 1990, and worked ten years at Harris Corp prior, that’s 27 years, two jobs. Prior to that, I worked at Digital Corp and Centronics as a technician. (one year each) Prior to that, I went to college on my GI BIll after three years in the Army, (age 17 to 20) working in the motor pool on jeeps and trucks.

I was a serious student in High School who dreamed of working in physics. I guess, I took the long road to find myself back at the beginning. My joke all my life was, I could do calculus, but can’t spell a lick! Go figure.

I say all this because, I discovered this web site seeking some answers to questions I have in this world, year 2006. It appears that I have discovered a simpler quicker way to understand current technologies.

Weirdly enough, I went into business sales to raise enough money to be free and work on some of my own engineering ideas. Well, here I am, older, maybe wiser.

Lasty, It's not all work, I sail, ride a motorcycle, fish, travel, and enjoy great food, football & cold beer. :-)

I have looked at this site a number of times in the last couple of years and often get annoyed at the incorrect use of English and the so called method of ‘sourcing’ which just lists web articles that could be complete bollo*ks! Lukewalsh1234 13:34, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, all. I'm a sophomore in high school and presently pursuing a neuroscience degree. I registered a few months ago but I've mostly been lurking.

If anybody has something to contribute in those fields, go check out the Wikibooks sections!

Hello all from Kempton

Hello everyone,

My name is Kempton. I had done some very minor edits from time to time before. Today, I created one and then another brand new entries. Both on things that I am am quite passionate about. In case you are wondering, the entries are Kevin Roberts and Lovemarks. By education and by trade I am a computer scientist. I am currently working as a Management consultant and also a documentary film producer and an aspiring Television producer.

I look forward to learning lots from the more experience members in the Wikipedia community.

Cheers, Kempton Canada
