From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi Louis waweru, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have. You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox. When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines. First, write from a neutral point of view, second, be bold in editing pages, and third, use wikiquette. Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.

Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me at my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing ~~~~.

Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! --Spangineer (háblame) 17:30, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

It took a while, but I've fixed the nonexistent references you were referring to. What happened is that I had copied those paragraphs in the crisis article from the article on the presidential election, and the references were originally given at an earlier point in the election article. But it wasn't as simple as just moving the references from one article to another, because when I checked the refs I saw that one of the news articles had been updated so that it didn't reflect the info anymore, and the other link was just dead. So I had to find new references, and in the process I added a few new details. Everyking (talk) 03:44, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
