Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia, Pinkgothic! I hope you like the place and decide to keep contributing. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question at the village pump or feel free to ask me on my Talk page.
One more quick tip: to sign your name on a Talk page like I did below, the easiest way is just to type four tildes (~~~~). To customize your signature, look here.
And remember:Be Bold!
You calling me #1 super fan makes it sound so serious. I don't endorse that. ;) — Fisonic 18:47, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
I saw your comments on Talk:Computus. You are welcome to look at my Excel spread sheet which computes Easter, and which uses some Visual Basic for Applications functions to do so. I think the comments in the functions are not too bad. It can be found at [1]
Don't delay too much, Adelphia has been bought by Comcast and I expect my home page address to change in about 6 weeks.

Hey Neike!
First off, thanks for your note on the talk page at WP:DINO. We avoid Category:Fictional dinosaurs like the plague, as it quickly accumulates cruft and garbage; anyone who has ever invented a giant mutant or lizard-like alien must think they've created a dinosaur. Ack! Thanks for bringing it to the group's attention. Also, it was really nice to recognize a Smarcher name! Firsfron of Ronchester 01:41, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Just checking in. How are things going in your neck of the woods, PG? Firsfron of Ronchester 15:00, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

For all your contributions fixing all the dinosaur fancruft that accumulates on Wikipedia. No one wants to deal with it. You've kept it in check. Thanks for all your work! Firsfron of Ronchester 23:32, 28 November 2007 (UTC) |
I noticed that you have revised either Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri or Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire.
I intend to revise those articles following the Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Article guidelines. There are more details on the discussion pages of those articles. I'd be interested in any comments you have. It would be best if your comments were on the discussion pages of the two articles.
Thank you.

Request reason:
Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 185.104.138.45. I am on a train of Deutsche Bahn; it's true that multiple people can connect from here, but it feels overkill that this is blocking known-good accounts who happen to log in through this IP. This should be no more contentuous than people using Wikipedia from a mobile phone (sharing the IP of the cell they happen to be in at a given moment).
(P.S. I'm unsure whether ((unblock-auto))
or ((unblock))
is right here. ((unblock))
tells me that if I'm not personally blocked, I should use ((unblock-auto))
, but ((unblock-auto))
complains that I shouldn't manually build it. The block page itself tells me to use ((unblock))
and does not generate ((unblock-auto))
code for me. Might be worth fixing the docs?) pinkgothic (talk) 14:45, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
Accept reason:
Public internet like that on trains is often configured to be a proxy. I will give you a short term IPBE so you can resume editing. If you frequently edit from trains, you may request a longer term IPBE per the instructions at WP:IPECPROXY. 331dot (talk) 16:40, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
