From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welcome!
Hey, Special Operation, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions. I hope you like the site and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful (some of them may sound stupid, but I recommend you check them out):
While editing, please remember:
You should introduce yourself here at the new user log. I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name, the date, and the time.
For your first edits, I suggest searching for articles that you think might interest you. You could also be audacious and try a random page.
If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome and happy editing! Cbrown1023 01:40, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Europe Racer requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Kelly hi! 01:57, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

- Project News Headlines
- Cleanup efforts have begun on articles relating to Sonic the Hedgehog characters, but more editors are currently needed.
- Project logo and awards system has undergone an overhaul.
- Project's Featured Member
In this segment each issue, the newsletter selects a member who has performed acts of merit for the project or to its respective articles. If you would like to be selected for the Project's Featured Member, please contact Red Phoenix (talk · contribs), show what acts you have performed that are worthy of merit, and talk a little about yourself; it's for fun!
Fairfieldfencer (talk · contribs) is this issue's featured member, for his work with the Sonic the Hedgehog character articles and improving them in general. FFF is a 13 year old male from Britain with interests in video games and fencing. His edit count is over 3400 as of this issue. Check out his userpage for more information.
- Newsletter Looking for Columnists
For all subsequent issues, the Sega Project is looking for columnists for the newsletter, to be released roughly every month, though no exact deadline for the newsletter will be set. If you would like to write a column for WikiProject Sega and have it displayed here in the newsletter, please make a note of this at WT:SEGA. Columns can be about anything about Sega (and its related franchises), Wikipedia, or the Sega Project. Thank you for your submissions.

- Active Members
Members of the Sega Project, most of you are inactive around the project. While the active members can understand this, we would like more of our members to be active around the project. All you need to do is to use the project's talk page and discuss issues with project members. In return, active project members will help you with any help you might need. So please, we ask all of you to become more active around the project and make use of what you have signed up to become part of. If you have any questions or comments, just bring your comments to WT:SEGA or you can contact Red Phoenix personally at his talk page.
- General Membership Drive
In addition to the issue we have with the inactive members, the Sonic Task Force could also use some more members. Some of you may find that area more interesting than the general project pages. You can make yourself a member of this project, too, by following the instructions at WP:SONIC. Please make use of the discussion page there, as well, if that is more to your interest.
- Did You Know...
- ...that the Sega Genesis is known as the Sega Mega Drive in Japan and Europe?
- ...that the Sega 32X was a colossal failure that sold only 200,000 units?
