Hello, Crispincowan, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a

I hope you don't mind that I gave you a formal welcome. If you are "the" Crispin Cowan, the one who's semi-famous in the free/open source software community, I'm sure you can figure out how things work on your own. But I've heard of you before and I'm glad to see you editing Wikipedia.
Again, welcome! -- Wmahan . 01:44, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
I am indeed that indeed that Crispin Cowan. Thanks for the welcome. Crispincowan ( talk) 19:58, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate
your contributions, including your edits to
Godfellas, but we cannot accept
original research. Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a
reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. --

Doniago, I am familiar with the Wikipedia standards regarding original research and proper citations. Which is why your removing my edit to Godfellas seems completely unjustified, because I provided references both to the Wikipedia and exteranl sources. My contrib was completely factual and externally supported. Crispincowan ( talk)
Nope, never heard of that standard. It seems perfectly appropriate to me for an encyclopedia to point out that two thins are similar, and then provide external citations that the claim is true. Please provide a citation for your alleged wikipedia standard. Crispincowan ( talk) 05:58, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Doniago ( talk) 14:46, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
Ok, I will stop following Doniago around, even though a cursory review of Doniago's "contributions" seems to show that his contribs amount to compulsively removing interesting facts from other people's articles. Crispincowan ( talk)
Thank you for your suggestion regarding
October 29. When you believe an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. Wikipedia is a
wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the edit this page link at the top.
The Wikipedia community encourages you to
be bold in updating pages. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes—they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out
how to edit a page, or use the
sandbox to try out your editing skills.
New contributors are always welcome. You don't even need to
log in (although there are
many reasons why you might want to). -- Mufka
