Five Pillars of Wikipedia
Float around for awhile until you find something that tickles your fancy. One easy way to do this is to hit the random page button in the navigation bar to the left. There are also many great committees and groups that focus on particular jobs. My personal favorite stomping grounds are Wikipedia:Translation into English and Wikipedia:Cleanup for sloppy articles. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki projects that you might enjoy.
There are a few crucial points to keep in mind when editing. Be civil with users, strive to maintain a neutral point of view, verify your information, and show good etiquette like signing your comments with four tildes like this: ~~~~ If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask me anything on my talk page or ask the true experts at Wikipedia:Help desk. Again, welcome! -- Draeco 06:41, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] CBOSS
Hi. Just so you know, the "right" way to object to a proposed deletion is simply by removing the template. (But don't do this for AfD's. You can tell the difference because the AfD template says not to remove it.) I did this for you on CBOSS, but I'd recommend that instead of adding notability information to the talk page, please put it directly into the article. Thanks for your contributions!

[edit] Port Scanners
Hi, I see you've made an edit in addition to my changes to the Port Scanner article. That was my first forray into writing on Wikipedia. I'd be interested on any feedback you have on my work. I realise I haven't included references, which is bad. Most references would be less reliable than the normal "peer reviewed journals" standard, but I expect would be enough. For example, http://insecure.org/nmap/man/
I have been considering adding a lot of information to the articles on computer security, particularly pen testing tools. One thing I am worried about is the "no original research" criteria. There's a bunch of stuff I could write about that isn't really original, it's just not widely documented. Would this be appropriate for Wikipedia? Perhaps you know of another project that does allow orginal research.
Regards,

- Hello. Dont' worry about original research, many articles in that area must be good sources for information. I think this is appropriate for wiki. a5b 21:38, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Possible russian
Hi. I am wondering if you could help me identify the language spoken in this short audio file: [1]. One actor by the name of "Árni Bergmann" is credited as a Russian bishop. And that's what leads me to believe that the language might be russian. Can you help? --Steinninn 08:08, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
- Hi. I can't listen this file. `a5b 12:02, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bee GNU/Hurd
A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Bee GNU/Hurd, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. mms 20:51, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
