User talk:Sbonds

Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you'll find the answer to the question on your user page is, it can be very good indeed. I suggest you browse some articles to get a sense of our style, and see Wikipedia:How to edit a page for help on how pages are marked up to create links, etc. If you have questions, the Village pump is always available, or you can ask me anything you'd like on my talk page. Happy editing, and please don't hesitate to ask if you're having trouble. Also, everytime you post a question somewhere (the pump, my talk page, etc.), be sure to sign with ~~~~.

Good job, by the way, adding to Beaverton, Oregon. It's always nice to see a new user get bold (as we say) and make meaningful edits their first day here. Welcome to Wikipedia, and I hope we can collaborate on an article sometime in the future. Jwrosenzweig 00:42, 22 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Heh, if that's considered "bold", wait for me to really get going.  ;-) My main problem is that the existing content is already such high quality that it's hard to find things to add!

I'm glad to hear it! Re: Jicin, I hope you don't mind my invalidating your user page by posting the link you requested. :) You're right that many articles need better external linking...I hope you'll take on some of them! The question of reliability will always be with WP, but you might be interested in some answers provided at Wikipedia:Replies to common objections. It doesn't settle everything, of course, but I thought I'd let you know that we have discussed this at length, and continue to! :) Jwrosenzweig 00:55, 22 Jan 2004 (UTC)
