User talk:IanMuir
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello, IanMuir, I'm Kafziel. I noticed you were new, or at least that nobody has officially welcomed you yet, so let me be the first to say hello, give you some tips, and share a few useful links.
Here are some links you might find helpful:
- User tutorial
- Help desk
- Policy on maintaining a neutral point of view
- Policy for content when editing articles and creating new ones
- Tips for settling disputes
I know they're a little boring (okay... a lot boring) but they may come in handy someday.
I give every newcomer two tips for adding content: cite references whenever possible, and try to set aside any personal points of view. Aside from that, just be patient and receptive, ask questions whenever you need to, and have a good time.
Now that you have your own user name, you can sign your discussions on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically stamp your user name, the time, and the date. That will help other users reply to your posts.
I hope this information is useful to you, and I'm looking forward to seeing your contributions. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me for help. Good luck, and happy editing! Kafziel 19:05, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ektron
I looked into it, and it looks like your article was speedy deleted because it had been deleted previously (October 3, 2005). You can see the original deletion discussion and today's deletion procedure here. If you feel that today's deletion was done in error, you can post a request for review at Wikipedia:Deletion review. Hope that helps. This sort of thing happens sometimes, and I hope you won't be discouraged by it. Kafziel 00:20, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
