I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}}
on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!
You might be also interested to see the Australian Wikiportal and links from it. --ScottDavis 11:50, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for your valuable help. It's always difficult to be new to something but friendliness like you have shown really helps. I found the links you provided very interesting and have spent much time reading through them to learn more about Wikipedia. I hope one to day to become a moderator (I think thats what they're called) and so I can encourage others to use this encyclopedia like you have encouraged me (and further to stop those unfairly criticising people like myself for our contributions...). Hope to be in contact with you further, Scott.

Glad to help. There's a list of Australian Wikipedians at Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Australia if you wish to add your name there. --ScottDavis 01:32, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
Thank you for that link, Scott. I have added my name to the list (in the correct alphabetical position). Only, what are Australian Administrators? --Snakeman 23:22, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
- Some people have increased privileges on Wikipedia. They are called administrators. --ScottDavis 00:02, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for the link. It sounds like a pretty good system and I'm looking forward to applying one day. It makes a lot of sense to use members of the community to regulate the community. --Snakeman 04:56, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
Hailey Anne Nelson
[edit]Hi, Snakeman. Took the liberty of moving your comment on the Hailey Anne Nelson talk page to its appropriate thread. Hope you don't mind.
User:75.32.144.202 05:22, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- No problem. Sorry if I put it in the wrong place. --Snakeman 05:45, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Per your recent comments regarding User:65.184.20.38
[edit]You're quite correct. Without going into too much detail (Wiki privacy policy) I believe this user is actually a notorious stage parent and internet scam artist. Regardless, it doesn't look like he's made any recent edits, under the IP or my suspected sockpuppet of him.

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article JFA Jaime Ferrar Agency and to Osbrink Talent Agency, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

- You mentioned that these were created since there were red links, and asked about what you should do. In terms of the red links, if the red links are to a topic that is non notable, I'd suggest just removing the red links. In this case I'm fairly confident the editor who created them did it in good faith, but on review, it turns out he/she was wrong. But that is fine. We all need to be bold. One puts in red links. One takes them out. You create a page, I suggest WP:PROD - is all the joys of wikipedia! In terms of what you should do - for these pages if you agree they are non-notable - nothing. Beyond that keep editing! be bold. Do stuff. Read the policies perhaps for tips so you help create great pages.Obina 20:04, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
"Zip" and Shelby
[edit]Hi, Snakeman! Do you have a source stating that Shelby is involved in the pilot episode for this show? I checked, and the only thing I can see is that it is a pilot that has been picked up. I don't want our anonymous "friend" stepping all over this. Thanks.
Ispy1981 09:22, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I put the credit up again and added the source provided by the real Shelby. Looks like it's holding up.

Unreferenced BLPs
[edit] Hello Snakeman! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 742 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:
