From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome, Prime Entelechy

Welcome to Wikipedia, the encyclopaedia you (yes, you!) can edit! Here are some beginning links:

Also, I give you some tips:

  1. Feel free to edit any page. If you make a mistake in your first steps in Wikipedia, don't care: there's always someone that will fix it.
  2. Experiment in the sandbox. There you can test your editing skills without disrupting any article!
  3. Use ~~~~ (four tildes) for signing your comments with your nickname (set it on Special:Preferences) and timestamp on talk pages. If you don't want to add the timestamp, simply use ~~~ (three tildes).
  4. If you don't know where to begin, take a look on the most recent changes or a random page.

With some time here, you'll learn all Wikipedia processes and get yourself an experimented Wikipedians.

Yours! Neigel von Teighen

[edit] British/American Spellings

Hey there. I wanted to drop you a note, as a fellow Commonwealth-trained speller, about spelling on Wikipedia. For the most part, we use American Spelling in most articles, unless the article is specific to a region (ie, I recently dealt with a bot that changed Canadian spellings on a page about a Canadian subject to American spellings). I'm a Canadian living in Massachusetts, and writing for both US and Canadian clients and articles, so I wind up having to watch this a lot! :-) The info on this is in WP:ENGVAR and WP:SPELLING, along with a list of words that often get changed by regional editors.

I have, btw, no problem with you changing 'behavior'->'behaviour' (through you'll find 'skeptic' is used almost 10 times as frequently), but there were about 20 other uses of 'behavior' in the article. When in doubt, follow the spelling that other editors have already used in the article. And thanks for contributing! --Thespian 18:02, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
