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 no personal information, and gives you many benefits, including:

• The use of a username of your choice, provided that it is appropriate.
• The use of your own personal watchlist to which you can add articles that interest you.
• The ability to start new pages.
• The ability to rename pages.
• The ability to edit semi-protected pages.
• The ability to upload images.
• The ability to customize the appearance and behavior of the website.
• The eligibility to eventually become an administrator.
• Your IP address will no longer be visible to other users.

We hope that you choose to become a Wikipedian and create an account. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have on my talk page. By the way, make sure to sign your posts and comments with four tildes (~~~~), which will let others know who left it. -Will Beback 06:01, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect

Don't make an article a redirect until it has been thoroughly merged and emptied. The only content in a redirect should be the redirect notice itself. -Will Beback 05:14, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

I believe you. Just take one more step, a justifiably hard one for any good Wikipedian, and blank the other page aside from the redirect notice. Now that they are one, there is no need for that old content. It's like marriage. Scary, but usually good. -Will Beback 12:11, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
