[edit] Welcome

Good morning, cheers, and welcome to Wikipedia! Its always a pleasure to have another editor start up — can never have too many good editors.

Some useful stuff/Things to remember:

  • The five pillars of Wikipedia
  • Opentasks — These are important things that aren't getting done. We need your help with them.
  • Tutorial — What you need to know about editing pages.
  • Test area — If you need to test an edit but don't want to do it on an article.
  • If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
  • As you mature as an editor, the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines will become more important.
  • Always Always Always try to maintain a Neutral point of view when you're editing.
  • Try not to be anonymous. Sign your posts (like I did this one), by using the tilde '~' symbol. Three tildes (~~~) leaves your username, four (~~~~) leaves your username, plus the timestamp.
  • Be bold in editing pages.
  • A happy editor is an excellent editor. Enjoy yourself!

[edit] Your admin request

Is this a serious nomination? You haven't answered the questions, written anything about yourself, you've made less than 10 edits all up!!! This will be quickly voted down I'm afraid. Harro5 04:28, May 26, 2005 (UTC)

My apologies if anyone else has hassled you for your adminship self-nomination. Please understand that the bar for being adminship is very high (1,000 edits, a hundred times as many as you have made), and many Wikipedians will not support a user who doesn't have at least six months experience and 2,000 edits, and their standards are usually even higher for self-nominations. Unfortunately, your nomination is going to fail, and many users support removing it from the nomination subpage. If you are interested in adminship, I recommend that you keep editing: do some good work, and when you've been around for a while and done many high-quality edits, you can renominate yourself. Odds are, if you have a decent résumé, you'll get the job. Cheers, →Iñgōlemo← talk 06:20, 2005 May 26 (UTC)
