[edit] Welcome!

Hello, Riluve, Welcome to Wikipedia!
I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at the Guide to layout, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and if you can't find your answer there, check the Village pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my New-Users' Talk Page.
Additional tips:
Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:
  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills, try the Sandbox.
  • Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
  • You might want to add yourself to the New User Log
  • If your first language isn't English, try Wikipedia:Contributing to articles outside your native language
  • Full details on Wikipedia style can be found in the Manual of Style.
Happy editing!

[edit] Your message

Hello! Thanks for your message. In answer to your questions:

I saw that your Talk page showed up red, meaning that it had never had any content. That usually means a new user, so I checked your contributions, found that indeed you were, and left you the Welcome message. You've done nothing wrong (if you had, you'd have received a different message...), it's just what it says — a welcome with some tips and advice.

I'm a member of the Welcoming Committee, though in fact any editor can welcome new Users. I'm also an admin. (or 'sysop'), which essentially means that I'm an ordinary editor with a few extra powers (like deleting pages, blocking people from editing, etc.) that I use to deal with vandalism and other misbehaviour, and to help editors with problems.

I hope that that relieves your anxiety. Have fun editing! You belong here as much as anyone else, so feel free to raid the fridge, use the microwave, and do the washing up. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 15:32, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
