Hi Berek, as a longtime Wikipedia user you may or may not find the standard welcome template below useful. I thougt better safe than sorry since I still have trouble tracking things down sometimes. Hope to see you around! Mirwin 03:59, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Welcome back
Welcome back to Wikiversity, and thanks for your contributions to History Of Scotland. When linking to other WMF wikis, you may find it useful to use a direct inter-wiki link. All you need for this is a prefix - w: for enwiki, wikibooks: for enwikibooks etc. For example, Scottish Gaelic becomes Scottish Gaelic. --Draicone (talk) 14:51, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Draicone! Updated some links already :) Berek 22:00, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Why me?
I've invited you because, though I'm not familiar with you at all, I noticed your name first in Recent Changes, saw that you have substantial history here and obvious current interest, so .... I hope you will consider this. Thanks. --Abd 19:08, 23 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Abd! I've registered for the assembly, and added you as my proxy.Berek 09:17, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
 * . I've accepted, please keep an eye on me, if you can! I'm pretty busy here, but Special:Contributions/Abd is there whenever you want to look. I'll let you know if I think your attention is required for something, but you can always "butt in." Do let me know, please, about any special interests or concerns you have. I'll use User:Abd/Proxy notes as a place to collect such things, you may add stuff there, or you may always email me. Thanks for helping try the DP system out. --Abd 17:12, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I've now removed my name from the assembly table - I don't think it's quite my thing.Berek 20:00, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * That's fine. If you change your mind at any time, you can put your name back, with or without a proxy being named. Naming a proxy is a way that you can exert some influence, and remain connected, even when you cannot directly participate, don't have the time. I'd love it if you could explain what you mean by "not my thing." But that's up to you, of course. Thanks again. --Abd 20:15, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Add general categories to specific subpages.
I notice that you are taking an interest in Cold fusion pages. Thanks. However, you added Category:Physics to Cold_fusion/The_Wikipedia_article/Recent_secondary_and_tertiary_sources. I think this will lead to confusion. Subpages can be presumed to be in the category of the pages they are underneath, unless there is something unusual. The category link you added will simply complicate the Category display without adding value. The subpages are just supporting information for the main Cold fusion page. I'll look around a bit, but I think I'll revert your change. Thanks. --Abd 01:30, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Vis-a-vis this, Cold fusion isn't directly in Category:Physics, but is instead in Category:Condensed matter physics. I see that there is Category:Cold fusion, however, which is a subcategory of the Physics cat. I think this is inconsistent, so I'll move the Cold fusion category to a subcategory of Condensed matter physics. I'll be thinking about Condensed matter nuclear science as a more specific category matching actual usage in the field. --Abd 01:38, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * That's fine Abd. As I'm not as knowledgeable about physics I had put it in the broader category. I should probably have looked for the cold fusion category though - apologies. Please feel free to correct any errors I make.Berek 15:30, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
