[edit] hi

• Copied from user talk:Kylu

I am Thethoughts user. I like to get in continous touch with you. I want to write, edit articles relating to the UK and Pakistan. I have some questions and need some assistance to use Wikipedia. If you can give me your email? I also have complains regarding the neutrality of some articles. Can you also tell me on how to become a Wikipedia authorised writer and/or to sell articles on other sources and also how to have an email with wikipenida.com? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thethoughts (talk • contribs) 04:15, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Copying this to your userpage, as well.

Please be bold in editing pages, but don't forget to talk to the other editors here! If you see an article with issues, of course, feel free to correct them to adhere to Wikipedia policies. The welcome message on your talkpage tells you how to find the most important of them.

If you'd like to contact me, go to my userpage and click "E-mail this user" on the left-hand side of the screen (under "toolbox") and write your mail there.

I don't quite know what you mean by "Wikipedia authorized writer", everyone with an account can create new articles if they'd like, the people who are "in charge" of Wikipedia are those who edit the articles. You, me, everyone here is "in charge" as a community. There are a few exceptions to this, but for the most part you don't really need to worry about them until they come up. Basically, as long as you're honestly trying to help the community and you're willing to abide by the policies that the community sets, you can edit as you wish. I don't have a @wikipedia.com email, myself, though, so I really can't help you there. I don't think they give them out freely. :)

I hope that's helpful. ~Kylu (u|t) 21:09, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

- Thethoughts, via email.

Check Help:Link for a how-to on using links, but here's the basics:

• For "internal" links (that is, links to pages on Wikipedia) you use two brackets... like, to link to my talkpage, you'd use [[User talk:Kylu]]. If you wanted the link to say "Kylu's talkpage" and go there, you'd use a "pipe" (straight line, shift-\ typically) like this: [[User talk:Kylu|Kylu's talkpage]].
• For "external links" (and make sure you read WP:EL, which is the policy on adding external links first!) you do the same thing, but you use single-brackets and no pipe. For instance, [http://www.google.com Google search engine].

For more examples of how to use Wikitext, see Help:Wikitext examples.

I hope that helps! ~Kylu (u|t) 01:12, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your email, "starting a new article"

Please see Help:Starting a new page, but basically it's like editing a page that already exists...except the page doesn't exist. More usable information is at Wikipedia:How to edit a page actually. ~Kylu (u|t) 17:20, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
