[edit] Welcome

Welcome!

Hello, Messanger, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

You may want to review the information on Wikipedia User Pages. This page is for people to leave notes for you, so redirecting it to an article is not appropriate. Fan-1967 20:32, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Messanger reply:are you a machine´ or just a page that the system redirect to all new wikidians check your heart beat before answering the previous question. i m just learning / experimenting the sandbox possibilities.

I don't think I'm a machine. Nope, flesh and blood. A number of us keep an eye out for new users, or people who seem to be having trouble or doing odd things, like redirecting their user pages to an article. (On talk pages and in discussions, please sign your posts by typing four tilde's (~~~~) at the end of your entry. It will translate to your user name with the date and time.)

I don't think you managed to upload any picture successfully. Including a picture is easy, once you have it uploaded:

[edit] Links

Internal links (double brackets, and make sure you get upper/lower case right):

[[NYSE]] -- links as NYSE
[[NYSE|New York Stocks]] -- links as New York Stocks (same link, different title)
Use vertical bar to separate link from title

External (single brackets, or none at all):

http://www.nyse.com -- links as http://www.nyse.com
[http://www.nyse.com] -- links as [1]
[http://www.nyse.com New York Stock Exchange] -- links as New York Stock Exchange
Use space to separate link from title.

You'll get the hang of it. The links in the Welcome message above should help. Fan-1967 21:42, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "could mean bigger user/viewer flow = cash "

Uh, you might want to read Our policy on external links. Links that look like spamming tend to get removed pretty quickly. Articles that get created here to try to direct people to other sites also tend to have a short lifespan. Wikipedia is not a free bulletinboard. Fan-1967 21:54, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
