Some jerk deleted my userbox on the subject of self-determination for the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus recently. Kindly refrain from vandalizing my userpage because I happened to support a position that doesn't agree with your agenda. Unlike Greece, Greek Cyprus or wherever the heck you're from (I suspect it's one or the other), in my country we have the right to our opinions. Jsc1973 (talk) 02:04, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi there! could you please use in edited pages following headers:
OK, sure. I just found this a few days ago and I've been adding quite a bit to the site. Don't be too hard on me, I'm still learning how you do some of these things here. :-)
Hi Newbie! FYI, when importing large amounts of text, we usually leave the "from a 1911 encyclopedia" at the bottom. Since you're a newbie, try looking at the links on the main page and do searches on nomenclature discussions. For example, Basil II should be Basil II of the Byzantine Empire...welcome and have fun -- also, tell us something about yourself!! JHK
Sure. I'm 29 years old (as you might have guessed by the username) and a newspaper editor in Garner, North Carolina, near Raleigh. I found this site when I was doing a search for the Vandal King Gaiseric (or Geiseric, as this site prefers) on Google and got a blank page on him. So I wrote an article, the first of several I've done since.
You can pretty much see where my interests lie from what I've contributed, all historical articles and most of them military history. I'll probably try my hand at some other topics on down the line, but right now I'm sticking with what I'm most comfortable with. If anyone wants to know more, ask away. John
Hi there! Nice job on Barry Switzer, I really liked it. Dont worry about people who seem to want you to know everything right away. It happened to me too. Some do it in a way where it feels like they are critizizing one, but others do it in a way were they let you know they want to help you. I was impressed by your article. I see you got the Neutral Point of View thing faster than me!
Just curious if you speak German. It seems to be a bold statement criticizing the quality of writing of Mein Kampf if you have only read an English translation.
To some extent, I do. I'm not fluent in it. But when I said Mein Kampf was a badly written book, I didn't mean it in a grammatical sense. It reads like the semi-coherent, rambling musings of a brilliant, but mentally disturbed individual. Which, in fact, is what it is. If I had read it without knowing Adolf Hitler wrote it, I would not have been shocked in the least to learn he was the author. Jsc1973 (talk) 06:30, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
