[edit] Why not create an account?

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 become an administrator.
• Your IP address will no longer be visible to other users.

We hope you enjoy your time here on Wikipedia and that you choose to become a Wikipedian by creating an account. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have on my talk page. By the way, you should sign your name to your posts and comments with ~~~~.

I will! Thanks! 83.31.20.78 06:20, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summary

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

Thanks! 83.31.20.78 06:21, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

This IP is Lysdexia. —Ben Brockert (42) UE News 06:56, Jan 8, 2005 (UTC)

This is not true. Please stop spreading misinformation. Thank you. I will appreciate if you kindly admit that your frivolous speculations have no merits whatsoever and apologise both User:Lysdexia and myself. 83.31.20.78 07:05, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I will appreciate if you kindly only make edits logged in under your usual username. It appears that we are both going to be disappointed. —Ben Brockert (42) UE News 19:51, Jan 8, 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I think my IP starts with 63. And I don't thank macros. Too bad I'm working elsewhere, or I would fix Wikipedia more... lysdexia 19:23, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
