[edit] A welcome from Sputnik

Hi, Aleph73, Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello, bonjour, salut, privyet, konichiwa, shalom, hola, salve, sala'am, bonjourno, and hi! I'm Sputnik. I noticed that you were new and/or have yet to receive any messages so I just thought I'd pop in to say "hello". We're glad to have you in our community! I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it's so big but we won't bite so Be Bold and get what you know down in microchips! If you do make a mistake, that's fine, we'll assume good faith and just correct you: it'll take a few seconds maximum! I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Though we all make goofy mistakes, here is what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful. If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you. Here are a few links to get you started:
And remember:
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
  • If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.
  • P.S. I'm happy to help new users. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you need help with anything or simply wish to say hello. :)

Happy Wiki-ing!

[edit] The nice big picture of Leigh Hunt

Hey, Aleph73. That's a nice picture of Leigh Hunt you've found! Much better than the small version I had originally uploaded. Was there any special reason you gave it the exact same name as the old one, Image:LeighHunt5.jpg, so that it overwrote it? It's not that I wanted to keep the old one, which is merely an inferior version, but it did make me jump to see the now huge picture appearing in The Country Wife, a page that I mainly authored. I'd used the "frame" code to insert the image, since it was so small, and the result was that with the big image, it suddenly appeared as huge in the article, as if Leigh Hunt was most important person in it. Just a thought, and I hope you don't mind my mentioning it, but it might be a good idea to check out what happens to the linked articles when you decide to overwrite an image. But again, and especially, that's a very cool image! Best, Bishonen | talk 16:28, 23 May 2006 (UTC).

Bishonen forgot to mention it, here are the markup instructions for images: Wikipedia:Extended_image_syntax. Cheers! Dr Zak 04:21, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
