From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions.

Currently, you are editing without a username. You can continue to do so, as you are not required to log in to Wikipedia to read and edit articles; however, logging in will result in a username being shown instead of your IP address (yours is 24.247.2.153). Logging in does not require any personal details. There are many other benefits for logging in to Wikipedia. For now, if you are stuck, you can type {{helpme}} on this page and an experienced Wikipedian will be around to answer any questions you may have.

Please note these points:

  • Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
  • Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
  • If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
  • Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Both adding such unreasonable information and editing articles maliciously are considered vandalism.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, ask me on my Talk page. I will answer your questions as far as I can! Thank you again for contributing to Wikipedia. Kukini 06:50, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Varieties of English

Hi,

You might want to have a look at [[1]]. It explains that you don't need to try and convert all Wikipedia articles to US standards, and in which cases it's desirable. For instance, Brainiac: Science Abuse details a UK programme, so it would be desirable to have it in British English. An article that's on a specifically US (or Australian, etc.) subject would be well changed to American (or whatever appropriate) English. Any other article that's consistent with itself should be left alone.
