User talk:Kvg20

Welcome and introduction

Hi, Kvg20. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person by golly! And this real person (that would be me), wants to say welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you've made an account! Thanks for joining; you're on your way to making some great contributions.

Because I've noticed you've just joined, I wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. Any questions are fine, nothing is too silly (we've heard them all). Now, the tips below - hop on them - they should help you begin editing. Best of luck!

Yessss! You made an account! Totally sweet!

Anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people. Besides that, you shouldn't feel nervous or anything about a good-willed contribution. If you're concerned, talk to us.

Play in your user area. For example, create User:Kvg20/test. If you feel nervous, feel free to talk to us.

When you're ready, start your first article using the Article Wizard. You don't HAVE to use it, but for your first article it really helps. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references. If you'd like more guidance, you guessed it, talk to us.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page. (You'll want to sign your name with these four tildes ~~~~ when you leave something on a talk page to help know who you are!)

Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

P.S. If you just feel like poking around, Wikipedia:Help is a good place to start. :)

Strictly articles

I'll add my welcome to Joe's above: "I hope you like the place and decide to stay", as the traditional greeting goes. Well done on the new articles for Strictly Come Dancing (series 1) and Strictly Come Dancing (series 2); they've been badly needed for a while now. I used a few mystic voodoo powers to put your work from Strictly Come Dancing (series 2a) in the right place at "(series 2)". Keep up the good work! Happy‑melon 21:24, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I almost don't dare to believe that you're actually going to write the dances table for series 3, for fear that I might wake up and find it just a dream! Huge appreciation to you if you do. Can I make one suggestion, however? As you go along, fill in the references you use, to save us having to find them again later. Just slip in <ref>http://website.you.found.the/reference.on</ref> for every new source you find (I expect you'll need quite a few!), we can easily format them properly later.

Huge thanks once again. Merry Christmas! Happy‑melon 23:50, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for the messages. I'll add references when I find them, but at the moment I'm just working it out from the highest/lowest and weekly scores tables!

Strictly averages table

I have removed it and opened a discussion on the talk page. I strongly believe it is unnecessary as well as breaching a number of policies relating to use of tables and synthesis of information which is wholly unsourced. Leaky Caldron 19:46, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
