[edit] Welcome

Hello, Sparklephobia, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!

[edit] Dates

On the Shek Kip Mei article I noticed you changed the formating of a date (from Day Month format to Month Day format). This isn't necessary becuase when the dates are linked (e.g. [[06 January]] [[2006]]) the software automatically displays the date according to a user's preference (if you haven't already, you can set this in the date and time section of Special:Preferences). For a much better explanation of this see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Date formatting. Thryduulf 22:04, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Uh, what else?

hi! having fun? i think there's a little more info to you than those 8 user boxes (4 of them being copies of each other). maybe you could add your zodiac sign or maybe what you like. there's over 100 userboxes through this link: Wikipedia:Userboxes. go through them and go crazy!

WikiFairies forever! By the way: hi! Chef Clover 19:56, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
