One other suggestion: if you're going to make comments on talk pages or make other sorts of comments, please be sure to sign them with four tildes (~~~~) to paste in your user name and the date/time of the comment.

If you have any questions, please feel free to post them in our Ten Forward community page. Thanks, and once again, welcome to Memory Alpha!

As an aside, when uploading images, please try to put an image category on them, such as Category:Memory Alpha images (or if you can be more specific, one of the subcategories listed therein). Thanks! -- Sulfur 15:23, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Unsigned templateEdit

Btw... for anon users, use the new {{unsigned-anon}} template rather than the regular {{unsigned}} template. It avoids a link to the user page, which will not exist for anonymous users. :) -- Sulfur 13:41, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

D'oh! Thanks for the reminder. -Rhinecanthus rectangulus 13:56, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Not a reminder. The unsigned-anon is new. I made it when I saw your additions to the Beer forum. Seemed a good idea at the time. :) -- Sulfur 14:02, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Ah, gotcha. I think I recognized it from wikipedia... -Rhinecanthus rectangulus 14:04, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk Page etiquette/indentingEdit

Just fyi, talk page indenting is covered at Help:Talk pages, specifically suggesting that the indenting level of a user should stay at the same level in a conversation thread, no matter who/what he is responding to. This is why people come around and fix indenting on your responses on various talk pages, such as Talk:Hendrikspool Province... :) -- Sulfur 20:49, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair enough, not sure I complete agree with it, but I'll follow the practice. Thanks for the note. -Rhinecanthus rectangulus 20:51, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

IP edits Edit

Hi, Rhinecanthus. You sent me a "Welcome to Memory Alpha" message, but I was quite surprised, because I never make edits while not logged in. I checked up, and found 2 edits, however they were not made by me!! This is rather strange as I thought I had a static IP. Anyway my normal username is Kidburla, but those two edits about the original Enterprise were not made by me. 79.76.167.73 00:24, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

ADmin nomation Edit

Hello i have decided to nomatine you for the position of admin.--Jellygem 14:15, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Rhinecanthus. Shran, here. Just letting you know that your nomination for administration is null and void since the user who nominated you was a sockpuppet of a banned user. Another admin should delete the page shortly; if not, I shall do it when I get home. Just fyi. :) --From a College Campus with Love

No worries, though I felt special being "nomatinated" by some random puppet. -Rhinecanthus rectangulus 18:58, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk pages vs User pagesEdit

Please get 'em right. :) -- Sulfur 15:42, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

D'oh! Wow, how many times have I made this mistake. Whoops. -Rhinecanthus rectangulus 15:43, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

WMS Industries Edit

Hi, regarding WMS Industries, you might want to consider Memory Alpha:Orphan. Cheers, --TribbleFurSuit 19:41, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
