:Excellent. lol Abraham Lincoln was on my mind, and quoted in my most recently deleted comment — a joke which applies to the edit summary of the reversion (a pleasantry I got from Killerchihuahua's userpage after she gave me a barnstar).<p>PS: Metacomment on other matters (which have formal response on my talk): Proofreader77 is not Ottava Rima. <p> (No reply necessary to asides above. Assurance: All will be convivial.) -- [[User:Proofreader77|Proofreader77]] ([[User talk:Proofreader77|talk]]) 21:20, 21 December 2009 (UTC) |

:::And I don't mean to be (too) funny, but since I have missed the opportunity to exchange gracious, sometimes clever remarks with you, I will respond now with a movie title that in Spanish reads "Abre los ojos," and in English, well, [[Open Your Eyes (film)|about the same thing]]. :-) [[User:Proofreader77|Proofreader77]] ([[User talk:Proofreader77|talk]]) 21:54, 21 December 2009 (UTC) |

Editing
Hi, I've noticed that you have an extensive editing history on wikipedia. That is very impressive. I'm looking for a mentor to help me acclimate to the encyclopedia as I would like to begin editing soon. Do you have any useful suggestions to help me get started? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Erohwasinewg (talk • contribs) 09:53, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
- You most likely don't need a mentor. The easiest way to learn how to edit en.Wikipedia is to begin editing and learn as you go. I've left a boilerplate welcome message on your talk page because it has helpful links, which you might read if you have some time. The main things a new editor should keep in mind are:
- Edit with a neutral outlook and cite sources.
- Be cool.
- Never edit war (revert back and forth), ever, no matter what happens.
- I don't have time to mentor anyone, but you're very welcome to ask me questions here. If you still want a mentor, please have a look at Wikipedia:Mentorship. Cheers, Gwen Gale (talk) 13:25, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
I'm curious to know how you think an article on the could provide more information than wiktionary:the. Could you elaborate, just a bit? --Yair rand (talk) 20:55, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
- See this as background. If by some fluke an article on the topic does show up and you think it's not notable, WP:AFD will await. Gwen Gale (talk) 21:03, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Gwen, since you are familiar with the user, can you take a look at his contributions to WP:AN over the last day or so at this thread (the initial proposal is fine, but his participation soon degenerated into tomfoolery, baiting and edit-warring; see the page's edit-history). See also the my messages to him requesting him to stop, and reminding him of his edit-restrictions, which he seems to have violated. If he continues, I plan to issue short blocks, but would appreciate a second opinion and set of eyes. Cheers. Abecedare (talk) 14:49, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
- Since AN isn't in the talk space, he didn't stray from those restrictions, but I agree he was baiting, being pointy and otherwise disruptive. Hence I'm going to widen the restriction to project pages. Gwen Gale (talk) 15:07, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks. Abecedare (talk) 15:18, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
- Gwen Gale: You might take a look at my comment here on Abecedare's talk. That revert might be better with your signature, than someone whose actions are discussed in the comment. (No reply necessary) Proofreader77 (talk) 21:26, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
