[edit] Welcome to Wiki!

Hello Mattwhiteski, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

One of the more important ways you can help Wikipedia is by cleaning up articles in the cleanup backlog.

If you need any help, see the help pages and glossary, add a question to the help desk, or ask me on my talk page. You may also find me on my personal blog or xMule's website.

I hope you will enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian. Good luck! — HopeSeekr of xMule

[edit] Question about disambiguation pages

You asked the following on Talk:Illyria (disambiguation):

I'm new to Wikipedia, so please forgive me if this is a stupid question. I noticed that when you type 'Illyria' or 'Illyrian' into the search box and click 'go', it takes you straight to the article about the ancient region in the south of Europe. When you type 'Illyrians', it takes you to the page about the inhabitants of that region. Surely it would be better if it went to the disambiguation page first? Is there any way of doing this? Mattwhiteski 16:19, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

The article at Illyria could be moved to something like Illyria (region), and so forth for any similar situation, but when a particular use of a term is so overwhelmingly more common than others that most links and most readers would go to it, then it is kept and the primary place, and the disambiguation page is put aside. The same is true for New England and New England (disambiguation), ion and ion (disambiguation), and so forth. - Centrx 03:10, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
