Hello Gemtiger and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.
Here are some tips to help you get started:
- To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
- Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
- If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
- Follow the Wikipedia:Simplified Ruleset
- Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
- Remember Wikipedia:Neutral point of view
- Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!
Good luck!
IB[edit]
You did IB? Me too! Have you sat for exams yet? Mike H 02:30, Aug 10, 2004 (UTC)
- Yes, I'm part of the most recent batch of graduates (May 2004). Would I be correct in assuming that you are, too? Gemtiger 16:25, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Yes, I am. I got a 29. What'd you get? Mike H 20:10, Aug 10, 2004 (UTC)
- Um, actually, I'm quite self-conscious about telling people how I did... but in true IB style, I will include a handy-dandy equation to figure it out!
- Find the sum of the digits of CAS hours that IB requires.
- Take the subject area number for mathematics and add it to the first sum.
- Multiply the total by 0.1% of the word limit for the EE.
- I hope you don't find this too annoying, although I think you'll understand once you hit the total.
- If I may ask, which subjects did you take? Gemtiger 00:19, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- You got a 44? Or am I doing this wrong? You shouldn't be ashamed of a 44.

- My exams:
- 3 in Biology HL, 4 in Geography SL, 5s in English A1 HL and Math Studies SL, and 6s in French B SL and History HL. 0 extra.Mike H 00:37, Aug 11, 2004 (UTC)
- No, you did it right. I'm just in disbelief, since I'm not sure I really deserve it.... I got my 7s in English A1 HL, French B HL, Math Methods SL, Physics SL, and Chemistry SL. A 6 in History of the Americas HL. And I got 3 "bonus" points. I never quite understood how they're considered "bonus," since the diploma is out of 45, not 42. I figure I had a good exam schedule, though: I didn't have to deal with Biology/History or Chemistry/Geography. Just English/Physics, and because I feel one can't really study for English, I focussed on Physics instead. What did you think when you saw Life of Pi on English Paper 1? I know I did a double take--I'd read the book a few months before after receiving it as a gift. Gemtiger 18:56, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Hardly any of us heard of that book, because we live in a hick town. Mike H 19:02, Aug 11, 2004 (UTC)

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
