Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Lesswealth! I am Mysdaao and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Thanks! However, I don't like really cookies, since they only contain fat and sugar! I've been thinking of starting to write for Wikipedia for a long time. Let's hope I don't mess up anything! In case I do, I will ask for your help in cleaning it up ;) Lesswealth (talk) 14:02, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do let me know if I can help with anything. How about fruit instead? --Mysdaao ^talk 14:22, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! In fact, there is already something I'd like to ask: I'm unable to edit several pages, such as Barack Obama or Michael Bloomberg. I can only "view the source." Why is that, and what should I do in situations like this? Sometimes it says only "established editors" are allowed to contribute; what does this mean and how does one become "established"? Lesswealth (talk) 14:27, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Articles like Barack Obama and Michael Bloomberg are semi-protected, which means that anonymous editors and users who are not autoconfirmed cannot edit the article. An account is automatically autoconfirmed when it is at least four full days old and has made at least ten edits. You have made enough edits, so in four days you will be able to edit those articles. Please let me know if there are any more questions. Thanks! --Mysdaao ^talk 15:22, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I forgot to add that you can request an edit be made to a semi-protected article on its talk page by using the {{editsemiprotected}} template. Just add {{editsemiprotected}} to a new section at the bottom of the article's talk page along with a description of the change you want to make. --Mysdaao ^talk 15:28, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ITN for New START

On 10 April 2010, In the news was updated with a news item that involved the article New START, which you created. If you know of another interesting news item involving a recently created or updated article, then please suggest it on the candidates page.

--Very nice work! If you;re on the main Page this early in your editing "career", there can only be good things to come! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 12:19, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

LOL! Thanks! The only reason I obtained this "achievement" is that I managed to create the article before anyone else. Due to the importance of the subject, it was probably a matter of hours before someone would do it, so I just happened to be lucky. :) Lesswealth (talk) 14:58, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Recent Gaza flotilla edits

Hi Lesswealth,

You made a recent change to the flotilla article where the paintball gun mention was changed to a claim by the Israeli military. You should look through the talk page archives as this was a thoroughly discussed topic and it is clear that multiple RS from all sides of the issue agree that paintball guns were used.

The question is not whether or not they had paintball guns, but what else they used, how soon they started to use deadly force, and whether or not the passengers resisted with deadly force of their own.

You might want to revert your edit or defend it on the talk page here, because odds are that it won't stay there for long. Talk:Gaza_flotilla_raid#Attribution

Cheers,

k, I just checked the source given at the end of the line, and it said it's a Israeli military opinion. Perhaps other neutral RSs give the same information, but I didn't see them when making the edit. Lesswealth (talk) 04:25, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

October 2010

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Swarm^Talk 22:06, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, dude. Will try to remember. Lesswealth (talk) 22:14, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
