Hi Angela, welcome to Wikipedia! Looking forward to reading your articles. --KF 20:42 Feb 20, 2003 (UTC)

Hi, on ships we've typically been leaving in the "insert caption" line as a reminder to go find a picture. It's not bad that you removed it, but there are hundreds more with the note, all waiting for illustration (which are not hard to add BTW, the US navy has many PD photos to choose from, just takes time). Stan 21:49 28 May 2003 (UTC)

Sorry Stan. I just assumed it was a mistake. I should have checked with you first. Angela. May 31 2003.

No biggie! I might not have said anything, but thought you'd probably prefer to know rather than not know. It's not often that anyone takes interest in the ship articles! :-) Stan 23:04 31 May 2003 (UTC)

I've uploaded a flower for you at media:Trillium.jpg. Enjoy :). WikiLove, MB 03:01 5 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Hello Angela. This above is a present from MB to celebrate the woman in you. Thanks for being on the list (and just for being there) :-) User:Anthere

Thanks so much for welcoming me to the site. :) Take care. ManicGypsy

Congratulations, you have just been made a sysop! You have volunteered for boring housekeeping activities which normal users sadly cannot participate in. Sysops basically can't do anything: They cannot delete pages arbitarily (only obvious junk like "jklasdfl,öasdf JOSH IS GAY"), they cannot protect pages in an edit war they are involved in, they cannot ban signed in users. What they can do is delete junk as it appears, ban anonymous vandals, remove pages that have been listed on Votes for deletion for more than a week, protect pages when asked to, and help keep the few protected pages there are, among them the precious Main Page, up to date.

Note that almost everything you can do can be undone, so don't be too worried about making mistakes. You will find more information at Wikipedia:Administrators, please take a look before experimenting with your new powers. Drop me a message if there are any questions or if you want to stop being a sysop (could it be?). Have fun! --Eloquence 22:53 17 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Did you see that on recent changes? -- [1] and [2] lead to the same edit--the one I made. Yours seems to have vanished, though the system says yours came in earlier at 21:12. Koyaanis Qatsi 21:15 30 Jun 2003 (UTC)

How strange. It was taking ages to save so I pressed stop on my browser because I decided to write more about it, but then I realised it had saved (as it was in recent changes). Could that have been half-saved when I pressed stop? Angela 21:22 30 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Wow, I don't know. That's a question for user:Brion Vibber or user:Eloquence. They know about the software. Maybe it should have a bug report, too. Koyaanis Qatsi 21:30 30 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Thanks, I've left a message for Brion.

Angela, it looks like you've hit the rare but deadly Simultaneous Edit Bug. Alas, your edit is gone; instead, the previous one gets duplicated twice in the history, while yours was saved for bug a few microseconds. :( --Brion 22:03 30 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome. I've always wanted to work on an encyclopedia where I can fix the errors myself :) (this is from bad, bad experiences with an early 1990s version of Compton's Encyclopedia, where a lot of data hadn't been updated in 20 years!)

Here is a "temp"; don't let it go to waste. New_Imperialism (temp) Some text, such as the long "definition of imperialism" paragraph at New Imperialism can be moved to imperialism -- other text has been moved to theories of imperialism -- topic specific text on the Panic of 1893 or the Congo Free State or Cecil Rhodes...or....or...etc can be reinserted at those appropriate locations. I urge you to read New Imperialism very closely and you will find some amusing things (not to mention a migraine headache). Pizza Puzzle

That's a beautiful pic you just uploaded. Koyaanis Qatsi 21:46 25 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Thank you for the welcome message. Just out of curiosity, is there a list of newcomers somewhere or did you just see my name in 'recent changes'? I hope you like my contribution about data protection in de EU. ;-) It's a dry subject, I know, but a usefull piece of information nonetheless. Hdk 12:49 27 Jul 2003 (UTC)

editorial note - the comment below is duplicated on talk:New Imperialism and various user talk pages. Martin 11:56, 29 Jul 2003 (UTC)

You should reconsider your vote on New Imperialism.

...unfair...irresponsible...bad policy...terrible precedent ...undermining the integrity of the entire encyclopedia ...could set off a chain reaction ...dangerous development ...threaten the design of the encyclopedia ...this could be the end of the project ...This could be the end of collaboration ...What enables Wikipedia to function is at stake ...This would set a very bad precedent ...this goes against every principle of encyclopedic design

Hi Angela. Some SQL results for you, in a strange format because I'm a developer not a developer, if you get my meaning. -- Tim Starling 14:07, Jul 29, 2003 (UTC)

Hello, Angela. It's --David 20:23, 29 Jul 2003 (UTC)~, the one who wrote the article about Parqués. I'd like to know how can I delete "Ludo.jpg" and "Parques.jpg". I uploaded them yesterday, but I think people should see them on my website instead of here. If you know how to or can delete it, I would thank you very much

What should my 1000th edit be?

Please make suggestions below on what my 1000th edit should be. If no-one makes any I shall pick something out of Requested articles. If there are any suggestions here when you arrive, please vote on those too. Do it soon, I'm on 991 edits already! Angela 20:37, 31 Jul 2003 (UTC)
