From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Welcome!

Hello, BScotland, Welcome to Wikipedia!
I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at the Guide to Layout, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my New-Users' Talk Page.

Additional tips:
Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:
  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills, try the Sandbox.
  • Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
  • You might want to add yourself to the New User Log
  • If your first language isn't English, try Wikipedia:Contributing to articles outside your native language
  • Full details on Wikipedia style can be found in the Manual of Style.
There's also a regular group introduction to Wikipedia for new users on IRC.

Happy editing!

I've moved the page you created to User:BScotland, which is what I assume that you meant. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 15:16, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

  • May I suggest that a) you indicate on your user page what IP address you used when you did the edits you mention and b) you always remember to log in before doing edits so that they can be credited to you (and, he says cynically but jokingly) so that people know to whom to complain. -- RHaworth 15:34, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
