Welcome
Nice work on wikiHow.com - thanks for catching the capitalization boo-boos there and sorry about that. Are you a regular on wikiHow? I was there a while back and found a page that had been deleted for being inappropriate, etc. and was amazed to see that the same warning template came up no matter what version of the page you looked at in the history - that's neat and beyond me.
I'm excited that you've chosen to explore the wonderful world of wiki here at AboutUs.org. Let me know if you have any questions along the way - you may also join the AboutUs WebIRC to chat or ask a question, and below are some links that I have found useful...
- The WikiAnatomy tours: Three step-by-step tours to understanding and using wiki and AboutUs.org to the fullest. *Highly recommended!*
- The Wiki Fundamentals Tour
- Wiki Basic Editing Tour
- Help Portal: The umbrella resource for all things help-related.
- Wiki Syntax: Basic wiki formatting guide, from italics to WikiLinking.
- Internal Linking Guide: Your guide to linking within a wiki.
- Image Help: Help with uploading and getting your image onto your WikiPage.
- How You Can Help at AboutUs: Ways that you can help out, from flagging PossibleAdultContent pages to reverting spam to welcoming and mentoring new users.
- How to improve AboutUs website pages: Ideas on how to spruce up a DomainPage.
- 5 Great Reasons to Make a Personal Page: How (and why) to create your very own PersonalPage.
Welcome to the AboutUs community - it's great to have you!

- Hello! People definitely respond in both ways, but only if a message is left on the intended recipient's talk page will they be notified, unless they happen to have your talk page on their watchlist. KristinaWeis 11:59, 28 August 2007 (PDT)
- Oh yes, to make sure they actually get the message. KristinaWeis 12:10, 28 August 2007 (PDT)
- Yes, there are admins (aka sysops) here at AboutUs. Check out Category:AboutUsPortland for our staff in Portland. There are a few sysops (I believe) that aren't staff here as well, and several Category:ActiveMembers that watch Special:RecentChanges and are very active in doing all sorts of things to help out. Deleting is something that only a sysop can do, but it's something we can do upon request and there's even Template:Delete. KristinaWeis 12:28, 28 August 2007 (PDT)
- Yes, in most cases external links are seen as ExcessiveLinking and Spam, particularly when they do not constructively contribute to the WikiPage or are not even related. So certainly, thanks for reverting that and feel free to do the same in the future maybe with a "revert spam" EditSummary or the like. KristinaWeis 21:33, 29 August 2007 (PDT)
- Oh, I just noticed your edit to User:Rdixon0625 and you can actually wipe out the spam manually, and if you want you can leave Category:AboutUsHoneypot in its place (this way many active members will add the page to their watchlist). See User:Kelete as an example. Thanks for helping out! KristinaWeis 13:43, 30 August 2007 (PDT)
