User talk:Thorn969

Here are some tips to help you get started:

If you haven't already, please add your name to the new user log to let others know a little about yourself.
Read the article describing how to edit a page and feel free to experiment in the Sandbox.
When editing pages, use the preview button before submitting and try to fill in the summary box for every edit.
Eventually, read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
If you need help, post a question in the Newcomers' Village Pump or ask me on my talk page.
Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).

Welcome! Please write in complete sentences. For more tips on properly formatting your articles and contributions, check out Wikipedia:Welcome newcomers. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 04:35, 12 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Psychohistory as a fraud

Thorn - you recently added a subheading to the Psychohistory (fictional) article. I removed it because (1) Wikipedia is not original research (Wikipedia:No original research) and (2) because it did read as encyclopedic (the style wasn't what it should be). Now, I must say there are some promising thoughts in there - if you could rework it, it could be used (you can check the page history to see what you wrote and copy it to rework it). Anyway, I just didn't want you to be upset or offended by me removing it, so I wanted to let you know why I removed it. →Raul654 01:51, Apr 13, 2004 (UTC)

fac notices

I moved the notices to the article's talk page since I think it shouldn't be visible to normal readers. The editors that follow the article (i.e. have it on their watchlist) can still see it and vote, but readers don't usually get involved, and it only makes the article worse. There was a discussion about putting a featured article notice, and most editors agreed that it shouldn't be on the article itself. I think it would be a similar discussion for this notice as well.
