From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Adrius42! My name is Ryan, aka Acetic Acid. I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:
- How to edit a page
- Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? :)
I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a nice day. Sincerely, Ryan. 12:44, August 1, 2005 (UTC)
- You're welcome. But, just so you know, there isn't a bot. There is only a welcoming committee. Ryan 12:52, August 1, 2005 (UTC)

- No, please don't go! This is hope for you yet. Articles can be deleted, but they can also be undeleted. Tell me the exact name of that article and maybe we can retrieve it. As for being a newbie, there is a policy known as Don't bite the newcomers. If people violated it, give me their names. We can work it out in a calm, peaceful way. But for goodness sake, please don't throw in the towel! You're contributions will not go to waste in the future. There are ways to protect your pages from deletion, such as marking them as stubs or asking experts in that area to help you expand it. I really hope you reconsider your decision. I'll bring this up to the Welcoming Committee. We'll make sure this doesn't happen in the future. Acetic Acid 22:05, August 16, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Standard Commands for Programmable Instrumentation
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Standard Commands for Programmable Instrumentation, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: SCPI. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 17:44, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
