[edit] A welcome from Sputnik

Hi, Alex uk 86, 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] Answer

No problem! I love welcoming new users - i never got welcomed myself, and i had to figure everything out myself, and it took a long time to familiarise myself with the protocol - i'm still unsure of how to do some things. I send out as many as i can - i usually scan the Recentchanges bar, looking for people who have no talk page yet, and welcome them. My personal rule is never to welcome someone until they've made a user page, but other users welcome as many as they can. It's just a template, so it's cut and paste. If you have any questions, you know where i am (in cyberspace, of course). Peace, love, life... СПУТНИКССС Р 01:48, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
