Welcome to Wikipedia

[edit]

Hello & welcome. I noticed that you added info about the VP8. It would be helpful if you could contribute a brief description of it to: VP8 Image Analyzer. I started teh page, all you need to do is add the knowledge that I think you probably have. Thanks. History2007 (talk) 08:00, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for the VP8 additions. Is it still working, or should the description use the past tense? Did it result in a VP9 or something? And what did VP stand for? Was there a VP7 Or is 8 the number 2 to the power of 3? If a photo of it can be added, it will be very nice for it will give the reader an idea of what the machine looks like, and will make it "real" in their mind. Thanks.

Hi, I edited the VP8 page before anyone else could get to it. I you add external sites to the body of an article and make blanket statements, the page will get flagged as biased and spam and may eventually even get deleted. So please step forward, but carefully. Wikipedia ha smany policies and many people watch these pages. Thanks. History2007 (talk) 18:47, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not wipe out over a year's worth of updates. And please read over WP:NPA. --NeilN talk to me 03:32, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, that wasn't my intention. One user wiped out my valuable observation no fan of McCrone wants known. He wasn't in Turin for the study of the actual Shroud in 1978, but only studied evidence brought back and his conclusions were based on his conclusions from his review of the evidence done only with his naked eye, not with microscopy. His conclusions are therefore invalid. I re-added my comment in that place rather than undoing since it undid more than this one undo. Thanks for your message and concern for the completeness of the work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Melekali (talkcontribs) 03:45, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It will probably be removed again if you don't add a cite to a reliable source. --NeilN talk to me 03:49, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

When it was removed there was no explanation. It's a fact of history. What kind of reference are you expecting? Melekali (talk) 03:51, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

To an academic work, paper, or book that will verify the content you added. --NeilN talk to me 03:56, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I have restored my comment again and provided an authoritative source on the makeup of the STURP team. Melekali (talk) 00:29, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Adding references can be easy

[edit]
Just follow the steps 1, 2 and 3 as shown and fill in the details

Hello! Here's how to add references from reliable sources for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain the Wikipedia policy of verifiability.

Adding well formatted references is actually quite easy:

  1. While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "Cite". Click on it.
  2. Then click on "Templates".
  3. Choose the most appropriate template and fill in as many details as you can. This will add a well formatted reference that is helpful in case the web URL (or "website link") becomes inactive in the future.
  4. Click on Preview when you're done filling out the 'Cite (web/news/book/journal)' to make sure that the reference is correct.
  5. Click on Insert to insert the reference into your editing window content.
  6. Click on Show preview to Preview all your editing changes.
  • Before clicking on Save page, check that a References header   ==References==   is near the end of the article.
  • And check that   {{Reflist}}    is directly underneath that header.
7.  Click on Save page. ...and you've just added a complete reference to a Wikipedia article.

You can read more about this on Help:Edit toolbar or see this video File:RefTools.ogv.
Hope this helps, --NeilN talk to me 03:56, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
