[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!

Season's Greetings Merlincooper, welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed nobody had said hi yet... Hi!

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

You might like some of these links and tips:

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, nice photo of the Ashmolean by the way. -- Alf melmac 23:52, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Translations

You wouldn't happen to be interested in the author that shaped most Germans' view of America more than any other? I'm talking of Karl May and since his works are no longer copyrighted I have started a translation. You can find what I have so far here. My problem is that I'm not a native speaker of English. I can comfortably switch to English with a second's notice, but when I have a German text in front of me and try to translate it to English I often commit germanisms. Your input in this project would be really appreciated... Junesun 15:50, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
