Welcome to the Wikipedia
Welcome, newcomer!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:

 * First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
 * When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
 * Remember to use a neutral point of view!
 * If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:

 * Policy Library
 * Utilities
 * Cite your sources
 * Verifiability
 * Wikiquette
 * Civility
 * Conflict resolution
 * Brilliant prose
 * Pages needing attention
 * Peer review
 * Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
 * Village pump
 * Boilerplate text

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

PT boat
Isn't PT for patrol, torpedo? Aren't these patrol boats? If not, where would they go? --Sugarcaddy 21:58, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes and no, the actual class was a motor torpedo boat but I guess its splitting hairs. That spot is as good as any really on second thought.... Nautical 21:47, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Changing things
Hi, while your enthusiasm is commendable, you're also scrambling things that have been already been carefully worked out. If you don't like something in an article, please use the talk pages to discuss what you want to do, don't just silently revert. Stan 14:21, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * I would disagree it was 'scrambled' in the first place. Nevertheless it was hardly a 'silent' revert, I restored the pictures and changed the formatting- its was fixed. This is what you should have done in the first place rather then rather clusmly removing everything. Its no problem though the page is back in order now. Nautical 19:21, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh ok, you didn't know how to get the formating - just got your comment in the talk page there. Nautical 19:29, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hi. Please stop renaming ship articles without prior discussion -- I notice you have amended Naming conventions (ships) so that it matches your new practice without any previous discussion on the talk page. This is considered very poor etiquette. Please stop so that interested parties can discuss the matter, otherwise everything will be reverted. -- Arwel 03:09, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * The standards are general wikipedia standards, which take precedence. The examples changed were case examples for the standards. I will of course be happy to discuss it. Nautical 03:15, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * As it happens, the people who specialize in nautical things here worked all this out two years ago, which included discussion of why the generic WP convention was unsatisfactory. You're free to argue for change at WikiProject Ships, but you're not free to mess up everybody else's multiple years of labor on all this. I've reverted your changes at Naming conventions (ships), and am proceeding to revert your other moves as well. Stan 03:42, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Those standards are not all 2 years old, and contain inadaquacies, please see my points before reverting. Nautical 03:52, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * If you look at the dates of the old discussion, you'll see it happening in February 2003, not long after I started working on WP. It's generally not a a good idea to move articles around as "examples" - it's more work to undo if the idea proves unpopular, and some of us are already overworked, so to speak. The proposal alone on a talk page suffices, and will likely get a more favorable hearing than if you've irritated everybody by breaking links (you missed some of the double redirs you created by moving pages, for instance). Stan 06:22, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Well yea I did go about it rather awkwardly I suppose, something to to note for the future. Nautical 06:46, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * About the redirects, I actually got every single one save the ones left when the page's got changed back. Nautical 18:56, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

USS Shenandoah
I noticed that you made a number of edits that changed the article extensively, and deleted or made awkward a lot of information. It's nice to see that you have enthusiasm, but I'd prefer if you leave in the information that's there (as long as it's accurate) and proofread your own work before submitting it to make sure that you aren't introducing new spelling errors or poor grammar for others to correct. Be bold, but be smart. Night Gyr 07:29, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * In your opinion, though it was hardly extensive. Mostly I re-arranged and condensed the information that was already there. I also applaud you equally notable enthusiam. Nautical 19:20, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

DD(X)
The sections you restored are causing a great deal of heat among the editors, parts have been lifted wholesale from the Iowa Class Battleship page and are merely being repeated again in the DD(X) article. I am going to revert the change back. That section took all of 5 minutes when it was moved to Future Naval Gunfire Support to start bringing howls of POV. As an ex-sailor I understand the romance of the BB but it has no place in that article and should remain in the Iowa class Battleship article. Please feel free to bring up objections in the talk page but these sections probably are not going to work in this article. Tirronan 14:09, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * This has been debated before- while the section needs more references and cleaned up, the solution is to allow it to be improved not deleted wholesale. Nautical 03:35, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Then please do so do not allow this to stay on the page as is. I do not understand what all that is doing on a developing class its really an independent article what should be under its own heading.  Instead this is a highjack of a page devoted to something else.  I am not intrested in a revert war so I have placed this at the needs imedate expert attention with the Maritime Task Force.  I'll take whatever they say as an objective decision. Tirronan 21:39, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Let me be very clear after rereading that section, its very pov, not a little a lot. Unless I see some action on fixing it within 38 hours I will remove it again. Tirronan 12:56, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * We are in agreement about the quality issues with that section- I think this about how the issue is solved (which is longstanding issue with the page). I agree with editing out whatever opinions and unreferenced junk  (I would like to do this myself actually but do not have the time at the moment) but not to the point of deleting the entire section. I will see what I can clean up right now- For what its worth  about the NFS issue I am in the middle of the road. Finally, With regards to your time as a sailor, what Navy and era if I may ask. Nautical 13:57, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Well I have thoughts on the matter of NFS myself and having seen the Iowas they are so pretty, its just that as a support platform I am not at all sure it belongs in a technical demonstrator article. Yes the DDX is slated for a NFS mission but I am not sure and I don't believe the Navy is that sure, that it can or will supply the answer.  Its a complex subject that fully deserves its own article where all sorts of answers can be explored.  I know that automated MRLS barges were considered and the Arsenel Ship was another thought (you'll never get that one passed the fly boys though) and other solutions.  Its just with AIP Subs and bottom influence mines a BB is the last thing I want near shore.  You'd need a half dozen LCS's clearing the way for it and an DDG-51 parked nearby to defend it.  I served from 1975 to 2005, most of it in reserves. Tirronan 17:55, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

I've pulled the sections out where it refers to the Iowas and condensed them into a single section with subheadings. These have to be rewriten to stay in the article. The more you condense them the more out of place they look. Take a look and see what is there. Again I will wait 48 hours from this time stamp but if there isn't a rewrite by that point I will remove them an expect them to stay that way.

By the way I was in the U.S. Navy. Tirronan 21:36, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * We are in agreement about the need for improving the quality of the sections, so I will make another attempt. However, I don't think its right for the whole section to be deleted- after all it has come a long way even with just our edits. I will try to condense it further though, so perhaps something can be salvaged from it. Great to work with USN, and congrats on your service. Nautical 11:54, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm satisfied with the rewrite, the only problem I had with it was that it had way too much Iowa discussion at first. So that you know there is a 5" LRAP in the works for the 5"/62 with a 60+ mile range as well.  Provided that 24lb warheads are enough this would provide enough tubes to do the job.  There are 3 main issues with Littorial combat that have to be addressed that are specific to that environment.

This is why you see the LCS, DDX, and CGX, platforms being worked on, it takes really good sonar, ASW, and Missile, defenses to be near shore, or support platforms with those abilities nearby. DDG-51's are not desirable in brown water. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tirronan (talk • contribs) 17:52, 26 April 2007 (UTC).
 * Bottom influence mines, they can't be used in deep water/blue sea areas and they are a 1st class bitch to find. There is an amazing amount of junk in the seabeds near shore, drums, wrecks, and metallic trash, mix in boulders (think of Norway) and nothing short of a high frequency sonar (useless for ASW work) and ROV's works well for classifing contacts and finding the real mines (if they are there) from the trash contacts.  If you don't have that sonar suite you will not find them, if you do have them you will find them and everything that looks remotely like them.
 * AIP/Diesel Electic Submarines, again they don't work so well away from shore in deep ocean, even a Type 212 can only remained submerged for 3 weeks, but near shore you haven't got a range problem. Again they are very very quite (better than nuke boats) ,and as the Swedish found, nearly impossible to find.
 * Land based missles, they can be hidden not activated until its time to use them. Harpoon has been around 35 years and anyone with a decent eletronics based economy can make something as good.  While not small large numbers can be hidden in a coastline.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Fair use rationale for Image:Alpha5(MightyMorphin).jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Alpha5(MightyMorphin).jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. SchuminWeb (Talk) 23:10, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:ZeddandRita.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:ZeddandRita.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 12:18, 25 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ejfetters 12:18, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:Ebirah.jpg
I have tagged Image:Ebirah.jpg as orphaned fairuse. In order for the image to be kept at Wikipedia, it must be included in at least one article. If this image is being used as a link target instead of displayed inline, please add article name to the image description page to prevent it being accidentally marked as orphaned again.

Fair use rationale for Image:GSTE.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:GSTE.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Treehouse of Horror II

"Treehouse of Horror II" is the seventh episode of the third season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It first aired on Fox in the United States on October 31, 1991. It is the second annual Treehouse of Horror episode, consisting of three self-contained segments, told as dreams of Lisa, Bart and Homer and is the only Treehouse of Horror episode to date where each segment name is not stated inside the episode. In the first segment, which was inspired by W. W. Jacobs's short story The Monkey's Paw and The Twilight Zone episode "A Small Talent for War", Homer buys a Monkey's Paw that has the power to grant wishes, although all the wishes backfire. In the second part, which parodies the Twilight Zone episode "It's a Good Life", Bart is omnipotent, and turns Homer into a jack-in-the-box, resulting in the two spending more time together. In the final segment, Mr. Burns attempts to use Homer's brain to power a giant robotic laborer.

The episode was written by Al Jean, Mike Reiss, Jeff Martin, George Meyer, Sam Simon and John Swartzwelder while Jim Reardon was the director. The episode is presented in a similar format to the previous season's "Treehouse of Horror" and contains several similarities to the previous episode, such as Marge's opening warning, the tombstones in the opening credits and the appearance of the alien characters Kang and Kodos. "Treehouse of Horror II" was the first episode that employed the "scary names" idea, in which many of the credits have unusual names. The episode contains numerous parodies and references to horror and science fiction works, including The Twilight Zone, Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, The Thing with Two Heads and Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

In its original airing on Fox, the episode had a 12.1 Nielsen rating and finished the week ranked 39th. The episode received positive reviews, and in 2006, IGN listed the third story as the eighth best Treehouse of Horror segment. The episode was nominated for two Primetime Emmy Awards: Outstanding Individual Achievement in Sound Mixing for a Comedy Series or a Special and Alf Clausen for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series.

Plot
After eating too much Halloween candy, Homer, Lisa and Bart have nightmares.

In Lisa's nightmare, the family take a trip to Morocco. Homer buys a cursed monkey's paw that will grant its owner four wishes. The shop vendor warns Homer that the paw can cause "grave misfortune," but Homer ignores him. Upon returning home, he argues with Bart and Lisa over who gets to use the paw, while Marge pleads with them to heed the vendor's warning and not use it at all. Despite this, Maggie is granted the first wish: a new pacifier. Bart wishes for the Simpsons to be rich and famous, but the public soon tires of the family's antics and ubiquity. Horrified by the wasteful wishes, Lisa wishes for world peace, but aliens Kang and Kodos enslave the defenseless Earth. Determined to make a harmless wish, Homer demands a turkey sandwich, but the turkey is dry. With all the wishes used, he gives the paw to his neighbor Ned and the paw resets. Ned wishes for the aliens to leave, which they do after Moe chases them away, using a wooden plank with a nail in it as a weapon. Ned then turns his house into a castle, much to Homer's frustration.

In Bart's nightmare, Springfield lives in fear of Bart's omnipotent powers, including the ability to read minds, magically move objects and turn living things into grotesque forms. When Homer refuses to turn off a football game so Bart can watch The Krusty the Clown Show, Bart transports him to the football stadium in place of the ball for a field goal kick. As Homer creeps into the house trying to surprise him with a blow to the head, Bart transforms Homer into a jack-in-the-box. After Dr. Marvin Monroe says Bart is desperate for attention from his father, Homer spends quality time with his son. Bart restores Homer's human form and they share a warm moment, causing Bart to wake up screaming.

In Homer's nightmare, he becomes a grave digger after Mr. Burns fires him for incompetence. While building a giant robotic laborer to replace human workers, Burns searches a graveyard for a human brain to implant in the robot. After mistaking Homer, asleep in an open grave, for a corpse, he removes his brain and places it in the robot. Since Robo-Homer is just as incompetent as the old Homer, Burns declares the experiment a failure. After restoring the brain to Homer's body, Burns kicks the robot, which topples over and crushes him. Homer wakes from the nightmare to find Burns' head grafted on his shoulder. Homer tries to reassure himself that he is only dreaming, but Burns' head insists otherwise.

Production

"Treehouse of Horror II", the second edition of the Treehouse of Horror series of episodes, was written by Al Jean, Mike Reiss, Jeff Martin, George Meyer, Sam Simon, and John Swartzwelder. Jim Reardon was the director. The episode is presented in a similar format to the previous season's "Treehouse of Horror", and contains several similarities to the previous episode, such as Marge's opening warning, the tombstones in the opening credits and the appearance of the alien characters Kang and Kodos. "Treehouse of Horror II" was the first episode that employed the "scary names" idea, in which many of the names in the opening and closing credits have unusual nicknames. The idea came from Al Jean, who was inspired by old issues of EC Comics. Although the names quickly became more silly than scary, there has been a wide variety of special credits. For example, the director's name is given as Jim "Rondo" Reardon, a reference to his idol, Rondo Hatton. The "scary names" became such a burden to write that they were cut for "Treehouse of Horror XII" and "Treehouse of Horror XIII", but after hearing complaints from the fans, Jean decided to bring them back. The alien characters Kang and Kodos had been introduced in the previous year. There was a debate about whether to include them in all Halloween specials after the episode; eventually, the writers agreed to make it a tradition.

During the beginning of Lisa's dream, Hank Azaria faked some Arabic. Usually, the writers get inspiration for the Halloween specials from old horror stories, but recently, the writers tried to conceive of their own stories instead of creating more parodies. Also, when the Moroccan salesman tries to warn Homer Simpson, saying "You'll be sorry", the animators forgot to move his lips. They realized their error only after the broadcast. While writing the segment, Sam Simon, one of the writers, wanted the fingers to go down in such an order so they would eventually have the middle finger sticking up. Once the animation would have been complete, however, they could not have gone through; Fox would have refused to air the episode. They had considered the alternative of deliberately blurring the middle finger themselves, but decided that Fox would have also refused. For this episode, there were a lot of loop lines; for instance, the ending to Lisa's dream was added to the last second. As a result of the loop, they still retained Flanders's old house next to his newly created castle. In order to make the episode fill the time needed, the animators often extended the laughing time for Kang and Kodos.

The second segment is based on The Twilight Zone television series episode "It's a Good Life". That episode had also inspired the third segment of Twilight Zone: The Movie, which starred Nancy Cartwright in her debut feature film role. The segment parodies the narration of The Twilight Zone, and the producers were pleased with Harry Shearer's portrayal of Rod Serling. (Shearer had previously impersonated Serling while he was a cast member on Saturday Night Live) In addition, though it took a long time, the design of the monster version of SnowballII by Dale Hendrickson was greatly enjoyed by the producers, who thought it looked "just hideous, just right". Bart's prank call to Moe was thought of by John Swartzwelder, one of the writers; however, Hank Azaria detested the line. According to George Meyer, the animation for when Bart sits up screaming was extremely tough, especially to make the mouthlines natural.

In the third segment, Burns and Smithers go down to the lab during Homer's nightmare. The animators decided to make the animation a bit more impressive, and decided to do the concave and convex images of Burns and Smithers. Even though it was tough and took up more time, the producers felt it was a necessary tour-de-force. Originally, Homer's robotic voice was done post-animation in order to avoid stress on the voice actor. Then-head writer Jay Kogen, who created the Davy Crockett joke, thought it was so funny he actually mimicked the actions of Mr. Burns putting on Homer's brain in the writing room; the producers thought it was hilarious, so they decided to add it into the episode.

Cultural references

In the opening sequence of the episode, the Peanuts gang scurry by as trick-or-treaters, à la It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Marge's hair in the opening segment recalls Elsa Lanchester's in Bride of Frankenstein.

The plot of Lisa's nightmare is a parody of W. W. Jacobs's short story "The Monkey's Paw", and The New Twilight Zone episode "A Small Talent for War". Near the beginning of the segment, Moroccan soldiers stop and search the Simpsons, finding souvenirs taped to Homer's body which he was attempting to smuggle out of the country. This is a reference to the opening drug-smuggling scene of the film Midnight Express. A billboard advertisement with Bart saying "Get a Mammogram, Man!" can be seen. This was a reference to Bart's popular slogan "Don't have a cow, man!"

The plot of Bart's nightmare is a parody of The Twilight Zone episode "It's a Good Life", which was remade as part of Twilight Zone: The Movie, which featured Nancy Cartwright in the role of Ethel. Jasper's transformation into a dog is a reference to the 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The scene in which Homer goes out with Bart to spend time with the boy, as well as the accompanying music, parody an old anti-smoking public service announcement, while the church layout was taken from a Norman Rockwell painting.

Much of Homer's nightmare is based on the film Frankenstein, and the end references The Thing with Two Heads. While Mr. Burns scoops out Homer's brain, he hums the tune of "If I Only Had a Brain", sung by the Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz. Burns also calls the robot that had Homer's brain a "clinking, clattering cacophony of caliginous cogs and camshafts", similar to the Wizard's line to the Tin Man: "You clinking, clanking, clattering collection of caliginous junk!" In Homer's nightmare, The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson is broadcast on TV. When Mr. Burns puts on Homer's brain, he says "Look at me! I'm Davy Crockett", a reference to Crockett's popular image as a frontiersman who wore a hat made of raccoon fur.

Reception
In its original airing on Fox, the episode had a 12.1 Nielsen rating and was viewed in approximately 11.14 million homes. It finished the week ranked 39th. It was the highest rated show on Fox the week it aired, tied with In Living Color.

The authors of the book I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide, Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood praised the episode as "A marked improvement on the first, uneven Hallowe'en special. All three tales succeed, with Bart's nightmare of gaining awesome powers being perhaps the most successful". Bill Gibron of DVD Verdict lauded the episode for having "wonderfully wild moments", especially "the parody of The Twilight Zone's 'It's a Good Life,' with Bart in the place of Billy Mumy's omnipresent monster". He gave the episode a score of 90 out of 100 a possible score. DVD Movie Guide's Colin Jacobson critiqued the episode as "not so hot their first couple of years", though he admitted that "the 1991 incarnation does top the original from 1990". However, he thought that "None of the three stories stands out as particularly excellent, though the monkey's paw one probably works the best. Chalk up this episode as a decent Halloween set." He thought the best quote was "Damn it Smithers, this isn't rocket science. It's brain surgery!"

In 2006, IGN published a list of the top ten Treehouse of Horror segments, and they placed the third segment at number eight. They wrote, "'Treehouse of Horror II' contained three quality segments, but [the third] was easily the best. Featuring a story reminiscent to Frankenstein, this episode made us laugh from beginning to end with Homer's crazy antics. [...] The humor that is derived from the multiple movie and literary parodies was enough to leave a last impression on us as an audience — and who doesn't like a robot whose primary function is to find donuts?" Writing for the Star Tribune, Neal Justin rated the episode as the one of his ten favorite episodes, writing, "The annual Halloween specials glow because all the rules are thrown out, never with more ingenuity than in this second installment." The episode's reference to Midnight Express was named the 18th greatest film reference in the history of the show by Total Film ' s Nathan Ditum.

The episode was nominated for two Primetime Emmy Awards: Outstanding Individual Achievement in Sound Mixing for a Comedy Series or a Special and Alf Clausen for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 21:16, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
