[edit] Welcome
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
Here are some other hints and tips:
- I would recommend that you get a username. 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 there are many benefits of having a username. (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)
- When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the date.
If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on [[user talk:my Talk page|my talk page]], or type {{helpme}} on this talk page and a user will help you as soon as possible. I will answer your questions as far as I can. Again, welcome!
Thank you again for contributing to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian.
Also, per your inquiry, WP:FUN. I suggest your bookmark it so you dont lose sight of it again :) --Ali K 02:13, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Editing
You're welcome, just be careful that you dont delete things off people's user talk pages, even if you did write it, as it is considered rude. Also, you can always use the preview button before posting to ensure you do not make mistakes! --Ali K 00:41, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Adopt-a-User
Hello User:Earthshift. I see you're looking for an adopter. I would be pleased to be that adopter, if you're interested; I've been on Wikipedia more than six months and have more than three thousand edits. I have quite a bit of experience in article development, dealing with Wikiquette alerts, and categorization. I also have some experience with the Articles for deletion process and a few other internal functions of Wikipedia. I am absolutely no good at making pages look nice, and I'm only passingly acquainted with uploading photos (and the various copyright concerns that go along with doing so), so if you plan on making these your focii, you might want to choose a different adopted.

[edit] Fair Use images
I recently removed a Fair Use image from your userpage. Sorry, but we're not allowed to use non-free images anywhere other than in articles. EVula // talk // ☯ // 21:10, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
