Hi Pat and welcome to Wikipedia, comrade. If you look here you will see that there is plenty of work for you to do. As well as here. Adam 04:30, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Adam,

I'm at a loss as to how to respond to you, I've tried everything that I could think of (including the novel idea of looking at the Help Page!!).

Any suggestions of some nice straight fprward potted biographical history of Queensland 's past pollies? Just for practice?

Pat

That will take you to my user page. You then click on the "discussion" link at the top of the page to go to my Talk page. You should sign all your comments with four tildes (~~~~), which will be read as your name and the date and time of your comment.

Welcome!

Hello, Pat Comben, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. 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! 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:Questions, 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!  Sarah Ewart (Talk) 08:05, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Adam Carr

Hey Pat, I moved your message for Adam from his user page to his talk page User talk:Adam Carr. Cheers, Sarah Ewart (Talk) 08:02, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User pages and Talk pages

Pat: every User has a User page, which is usually only edited by them. They also have a Talk page - this is your Talk page. When you want to leave someone a message, you go to their User page, then you click on the discussion tab at the top of the page, which will take you to their Talk page. Or you can type "User talk:Adam Carr" (or whoever) in the search window at the left of your screen and it will take you to my Talk page. Some Users, like Sarah (above), have provided a "Talk" link as part of their User name. If you click the Talk next to her name it will take you to her Talk page. I hope that's all clear. It's unfortunate that as Wikipedia has grown it has become steadily more complex, and thus more difficult for newcomers to learn their way around. I hope you persist.

Pat, to edit Adam's talk page, just click the "edit this page" tab at the top of the page. You can also click the little plus sign next to the edit this page tab. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 09:13, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, okay, I just discovered that Adam's page is semi-protected so new people can't edit it. He must have been having vandalism problems. I'll leave him a message asking him to check your talk page, so just leave any messages for him here. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 09:27, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Adam

Will do.

Pat Comben 09:35, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've unprotected his talk page so you should be right to leave him a message now. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 09:40, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, Pat. At least you know it wasn't because of anything you were doing. :) Please let me know if you ever need any help with anything. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 09:54, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Anne Warner

I have edited this article to conform to the Wikipedia format. If you just copy text from another source it will be deleted as a copyright violation. Please follow this pattern for name, birth date, place of birth, career, categories. Note wikification of place names etc (eg [[Lucknow]]). Hint: If you click "my watchlist" on your user or Talk pages you can follow who has been editing articles that you have been created or been editing. Adam 10:05, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Always happy to help. Wikipedia is both endlessly infuriating and totally addictive. You have been warned. Adam 10:18, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"I can live with Sarah thinking that I'm a her!" Sorry! I'm not up with Queensland politics. :) Sarah Ewart (Talk) 10:26, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia

Hi Pat,
I'm pleased I could help with your article on the Anglican Diocese of Grafton. If there is anything at all I can help you with wikiwise just ask. You might remember some of my work from your time in politics. I used to host The Australian Politics Resource website back then. --Dave 10:01, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Lavarch

Hi Pat, I added an article about Michael Lavarch recently. As you have a detailed knowledge of these guys you might like to improve it. --Dave 22:48, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
