User talk:Phlogistomania

Welcome!

Hi Phlogistomania, and a warm welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Wikipedia? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!

Editing tutorial, learn to have fun with Wikipedia. Picture tutorial, instructions on uploading images. How to write a great article, to make it an featured article status. Manual of Style, how articles should be written.

Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :

RC Patrol - Keeping a lookout for vandalism. Cleanup - Help make unreadable articles readable. Requests - Wanted on WP, but hasn't been created. Merge - Combining duplicate articles into one. Wikiprojects - So many to join, so many to choose from...Take your pick!

Oh yes, don't forget to sign when you write on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments. And finally, if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Once again, welcome! =)

Etymology of "diamond"

Hi Phlogistomania. The etymology given orginally was indeed correct, the diamond derives from "adamas" although by a somewhat circuitous route. I have added the complete etymology to the talk page. Rje 15:09, May 11, 2005 (UTC)

RfA on Argyrosargyrou

I've started a Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration on User:Argyrosargyrou. Please take a look and add any evidence you feel is relevant to Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Argyrosargyrou/Evidence. -- ChrisO 22:23, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

SEWilcoBot

It is not called a "sock puppet". The term is "Bot". See WP:BOTS. The IOC country codes being in an article is irrelevant because a m:Help:Template can not use them in that form. If you look at History of any of those Templates, you'll find reference to w:WikiProject Flag Template, where there is some further explanation. (SEWilco 02:49, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC))
