[edit] Welcome to the Wikipedia

Welcome, JYOuyang!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:

First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
Learn about some of the Wikipedia landmarks by trying our Wikipedia scavenger hunt!
If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
Wikipedia has a vibrant community of editors. The village pump is a great place to see the goings on.
Remember to use a neutral point of view!
Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: ~~~~.

Best of luck, and have fun!

[edit] More welcome

Welcome also to Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics. That page, and its talk page, serve as a place where mathematicians meet and discuss math-related issues. There is also a list of participants to sign on. Enjoy! Oleg Alexandrov 15:31, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] External links

Hello. I'm glad you're adding Mactutor biography links. However, please note that according to Wikipedia:Manual of Style, it should say "External links" with a lower-case "l", not a capital "L". The same is true of other section headings: the first letter is capital; later letters are capitalized only if there is some other reason to do so, not just because they're in a section heading.

Hi there. I know you are not the creator of this article, but as the original author is only identifiable by an IP address, I hope coming to you is the next best thing.

Should this article be placed at Aisling O'Sullivan, as per http://imdb.com/name/nm0642718/ and c. 8600 extra Google hits? Appreciate your input. I'll refrain from making any edits to this article until this issue is concluded.

Thank you. Bobo . 06:03, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Not really a vandalism, more of a reality check. The things that 70.27.15.123 removed were completely unworth noting, they really are all irrelevant, especially the website - which has the term webmaster to describe the person in charge of it. Things like a php script really aren't worth listing, so the two CMSes aren't really needed. A patch for some unknown computer game? Come on, completely unworth listing anywhere. And a programming language that noone has ever heard of, let alone used? They gave a list that was starting to get too big a much-needed enema. Janizary 04:50, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Aha. Thank you for pointing that out. JYOuyang 01:59, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
