User talk:Annekoplinka

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions.

Currently, you are editing without a username. You can continue to do so, as you are not required to log in to Wikipedia to read and edit articles; however, logging in will result in a username being shown instead of your IP address (yours is Annekoplinka). Logging in does not require any personal details, and there are many other benefits for logging in.

When you edit pages:

Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such content or editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. For now, if you are stuck, you can click the edit this page tab above, type {{helpme}} in the edit box, and then click Save Page; an experienced Wikipedian will be around shortly to answer any questions you may have. Also feel free to ask a question on my talk page. I will answer your questions as far as I can! Thank you again for contributing to Wikipedia. --AW 17:42, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Akon's name[edit]

Hi, I saw your comments. Somebody else said something similar, but he also said the whole thing in interviews, so it's hard to say what we can do. I'll put something in the article about that, but we don't really have a source, so it could get removed. --AW 17:55, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - I don't really know how to respond to this correctly, but if you look carefully at the interview, he seems to say it as a joke (tells Marielle V. Turner, Virtual A&R, Slamjamz.com on the interview posted at http://www.rapstation.com/files/archives/archive.php3?id=324502&title=archive%20-%20Inside%20the%20Rhyme%20-%20Artist%20Interview%20-%20Akon that she should just write down "Aliaune Akon Thiam"). Several native Wolof speakers in addition to myself have noted this, but I guess you're right, it's hard to do anything about it. Annekoplinka 18:07, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Akon sources[edit]

Commentary in article[edit]

Use the discussion tab to find an article's talk page.

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article.

Also, be sure to sign your posts on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~) – this will automatically produce a signature so other contributors can identify multiple posts from you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page! And again, thanks for your help! --AW 18:03, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
