Salve Corde! I think you have this page on "watch" status by default. That means you'll get a notice if I save anything here. - Template:M. Lucretius Agricola

I see...
So this is the discussion area attached to my account, and when someone says something here it tells me about it next time I log in. Clever. And my account page is completely separate from my biography?
- yes. this is your user account. There is also an article about you in the general namespace -Template:M. Lucretius Agricola
user pages
Each of us has up to three pages with different purposes.
User:Aulus Apollonius Cordus is an automatic feature of the wiki software, associated with your username. Whenever your username appears in edit historys, signature, and such, it links to this. This is a personal space for you to describe yourself and your wikiprojects, solicit comments, test things, etc. If we adopt wikipedia-like policies, which I recommend, then this is a more personal area where NPOV is not enforced - but it's not a free web hosting service; it should be kept brief and mostly related to your wiki work.
User_talk:Aulus Apollonius Cordus is the discussion page associated with the above. Any messages left here will be automatically mailed to you. Traditionally it's used to discuss edits done by a person - thanking them for exceptional work or berating them for exceptionally bad work.
Aulus Apollonius Cordus (Nova Roma) is an article in the main namespace, and is treated like any other article in the main namespace - NPOV is enforced, and anyone can work on it. I think anyone who has held elected office or been chief of a sodalitas should qualify for an article in the main namespace.
On wikipedia it's considered bad form to edit your own biography (for those very few people who are important enough to rate one); here I think we can be less strict about it, but if conflicts arise the subject of the bio could be blocked from editing it.
When you sign something using four tildes (~~~~) it automatically links to your User: page. You can customize your signature in the Special:Preferences to do things like adding a link to your talk page as well. Marcus Octavius Germanicus(t) 12:41, 27 March 2006 (CST)
