[edit] Welcome!

Hi, Starky, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the five pillars of Wikipedia. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus 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 Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page.

[edit] Additional tips

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
  • You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
  • If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
  • If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

[edit] Happy Wiki-ing.

[edit] Czech-geo-stub

STOP!!!! Please do not continue to change czechia-geo-stubs to czech-geo-stubs! The name of the stub and category was carefully chosen after a long debate. To call them "Czech geo stubs" is aginst the wishes of those people who are actively working on articles relating to the Czech Republic. You have created a great deal of work which will need to be cleared up. Please do not continue to do this! If you wish to become involved in the debating process that goes on before the creation of geo-stubs (and any other stub category, for that matter), please become involved in Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting - don't just start changing stub categories without warning.

Hi Starky - you wrote: Hello his Grutness! I am not sockpuppet of User:NoPuzzleStranger. NoPuzzleStranger is Wik. I am not Wik. Hope this clears things up so you can sleep better at night.

:) Okay, I'll take your word for it! It was just a bit peculiar that you suddenly appeared and immediately started reverting the same sort of things as NoPuzzleStranger during a period he would normally have been online online but wasn't. It just ooked a bit suspicious. Seems like the Czech(ia) situation has largely calmed down, at least as far as the stubs are concerned now, so I'm not going to investigate further anyway.

What is your evidence that NoPuzzleStranger is a sockpuppet of a banned user? Susvolans (pigs can fly) 16:50, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
