From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia! You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires you to provide no personal information, and gives you many benefits, including:

  • The use of a username of your choice
  • The ability to view all your contributions via a "My contributions" link
  • Your own user page
  • Your own talk page which, if you choose, also allows users to send you messages without knowing your e-mail address
  • The use of your own personal watchlist to which you can add articles that interest you
  • The ability to rename pages
  • The ability to upload images
  • The ability to customize the appearance and behavior of the website
  • The eligibility to become an administrator
  • The right to be heard in formal votes and elections, and on pages like votes for deletion

We hope that you choose to become a Wikipedian and create an account.

[edit] Obsessive edits

Dates do not need to changed if properly formatted (and most that you have changed were). First you need to create an account for youself - it is quick and free. Having done that you will be able to state your preference for date formatting. Thus June 9, 2005 (view this note under edit) displays to me as 2005 June 9 because that is how I like to see dates.

I do not like to see "metres" changed to "m". "m" causes a momentary mental pause - 'is this miles or metres'. What does the Wikipedia:Manual of Style say?

Once again, you do not need to reorder dates -- the software will take care of it. Also the date style of Wikipedia is to have a comma between the day and the year see here. Evil Monkey∴Hello 07:25, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Birds

The wikipedia agreed convention is that all bird species are capitalised, so I've rv your changes. jimfbleak 06:30, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
