[edit] Welcome

Hello, welcome to Wikipedia.

Here are some tasks you can do:

You might find these links helpful in creating new pages or helping with the above tasks: How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should read our policies at some point too.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump, or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

  • You can introduce yourself on the new users page.
  • If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
  • 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.

Again, welcome! Chris Roy 18:21, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] RE: external links removal

Hello - in response to your message on my talk page, the primary reason I removed the link was due to the method in which it was added. The link was spammed across multiple articles, and was added bare - no other contributions were made to the articles during these edits. See WP:SPAM for guidelines about what is considered spamming.

However if you feel that the link is truly useful, I recommend doing one of the following (in order of recommendation):

  1. Mention the link on one of the article's talk pages (whichever article you think is most appropriate). This will allow other editors to discuss the merits of the link, and if they agree that it's useful, you have the backing of the consensus to re-add it.
  2. Add the link to one article, and work with other similar articles so that they all wikilink together. This can be done by adding in-article links of specific words or phrases, or other articles can be added to a "See also" section. This way a reader could start with one article, move on to other related articles within Wikipedia (we try to keep readers "in house" for information whenever possible), and end up following the link if desired.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other concerns or questions --AbsolutDan (talk) 01:41, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cappuccino

You say that American Cappuccinos are not sophisticated, but I repectfully disagree. Compared to simple coffee (americano), cappuccino is sophisticated. It requires more work to make it, and more ingrediants. Now that I think about it, everything is Europe seems more sophisticated . . . with thier cobble stone streets and thier fast trainswhicky1978 02:50, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
