From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to Wikipedia

Hello, 70.52.147.3, and welcome to Wikipedia! Wikipedia is one of the world's fastest growing internet sites. We aim to build the biggest and most comprehensive encyclopaedia in the world. To date we have over four million articles in a host of languages. The English language Wikipedia alone has over one million articles! But we still need more! Please feel free to contribute your knowledge and expertise to our site.

If you need help see:

Here are a few more good links for newcomers:

We hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! 

Thank you for editing Wikipedia. Please however be careful to follow Wikipedia's Manual of Style in editing the site. Requirements that do that fit the MoS and Naming Conventions rules will be changed to match them.

Among the requirements are

  • Wikipedia only places date of birth, date of death, and personal name (if the article is in the name of someone's title) in brackets. It does not include place of birth. Some articles have been written including place of birth. When those articles are wikified that information is deleted from there. The correct format for a period who is still alive is (born <date month or month date><year>). For someone who is deceased, the format is (<birth date month/month date> <year> – <death date month/month date> <year>. The word birth is not used when someone has died.
  • Wikipedia uses both the American date format mm/dd/yyyy and the International date format dd/mm/yyyy. Where an article is on an American topic, or on a topic from a country that uses the American date format, then it must be written in the form mm/dd/yyyy. Where an article is a topic associated with a country or entity that uses International Dating (the United Kingdom, Ireland, Europe, the Commonwealth of Nations, the United Nations, etc) then dd/mm/yyyy must be used. Where a country uses both, the format is picked by the original major editor and cannot be changed subsequently.
Your edits to Diana, Princess of Wales have been reverted because they broke MoS rules. The insertion of the word born was incorrect, as was your insertion of American dating, given that the topic is British. All British topics must be written in dd/mm/yyyy. Any changes to that format are automatically reverted on sight.

Enjoy your time on Wikipedia. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 04:20, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Where did you get this date? I've had trouble finding a reliable source myself.--Darren Jowalsen 23:26, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
