User Page for Thaddeus Ballantine[edit]

I'm here as an editor to help improve content and to participate in a truly awesome project such as Wikipedia is. I consider myself to be more of an editor than a content producer. I like to find references for obscure trivia that has been flagged. I don't like excessive wikilnks. I think they are one of the coolest things about Wikipedia, but used excessively make the body text more difficult to read. Most good things in life are best in moderation. I will bring up topics in the talk section though I don't like to debate. More that likely even if you are dead wrong I won't reply or join in the discussion unless you send a private message to me. I treat this page and my sandbox as testing ground for anything or to give me something to learn. Just remember be bold and give everyone the benefit of not having doubt in them.

Tip of the Day[edit]

Maintaining a general spirit of collegiality and mutual understanding, and remembering that all Wikipedians have a fundamental love of knowledge, helps Wikipedia to run more smoothly. In other words, be nice to your fellow Wikipedians at all times.

Tip of the Day Random[edit]

Tip of the moment... Posting on the Wikipedia Community Bulletin Board The Community bulletin board (aka WP:CBB) is a terrific way to let your newly created Portal, WikiProject, etc., be known to the community, including at the Community Portal. It's also a great way to recruit fellow editors. If you post a notice there, please follow these guidelines: Use present tense. Bold the main link. Keep it short and sweet, news style. Use pulldates (one week) by inserting them into a hidden comment like this: <!-- Pulldate: July 3 --> Or just follow the instructions on the page, which will be visible when you edit it. You can also submit WikiProject and similar news to the relevant section of the Wikipedia Signpost.

Tomorrow's featured article Goldeneye, the estate where the book was written On Her Majesty's Secret Service is the tenth novel and eleventh book in Ian Fleming's James Bond series. First published in 1963, it centres on Bond's search to find Ernst Stavro Blofeld after the events depicted in Thunderball (1961). In the novel, Bond falls in love with Tracy di Vicenzo during the story. The pair marry, but hours afterwards Blofeld and his partner, Irma Bunt, attack them and kill Tracy. Fleming developed Bond's character within the book, showing an emotional side that was not previously present. The novel is one of three Bond stories to deal with the disruption of markets and the economy, in this case Blofeld's planned disruption to the food supplybybioterrorism. The novel received broadly positive reviews. In 1969, the book was adapted as the sixth filminEon Productions' James Bond film series. It was the only film to star George Lazenby as Bond.
