Get your feet wet as soon as you can by being bold in editing (and using the Show Preview button).
Read what Wikipedia is not.
Learn how to avoid common mistakes.
At Wikipedia, neutrality means representing all viewpoints as opposed to just one. Read the neutral point of view tutorial to learn more.

Welcome to the project! I saw your note on the new user log, and just wanted to say hi. The disambiguation page at Solomon's Seal is good work. Hope you stick around and do more. Isomorphic 17:49, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Speedy deletions

Hi! Thanks for the good work on looking through the new pages. Just one point - when you write the reason part of the deletebecause, something like "case 4" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Fitzgerald%27s_Ginkus_Noodles) is somewhat ambiguous and not at all clear when i read it! However, if you don't want to type a long comment for each, just {{delete}} without the reason will do, usually it's obvious. Thanks. Enochlau 09:09, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

More on Speedy Deletions

I don't think that speedy deletions are right for the articles that you have just nominated, e.g. Andrew Gower. It is true that they are very short, but Wikipedia contains many articles which are just as short and have been kept. I do not know enough about the subjects of the articles to tell whether they should be deleted after a VFD vote, but I think that thes earticles, which do contain some content, would need a well-thought-out discussion before deleting them. Some of these articles look like they have no content because they are unformatted, and that is easily fixed. Try looking at Wikipedia:Deletion log to see what sorts of things are usually deleted.

Category:Verities of Rice --> Category:Varieties of rice

Thanks for adding this listing. I copied your request to the Wikipedia:Categories for deletion#Speedy renaming section. Simple typo fixes and the like can go there, so that they get taken care of more quickly. --Idont Havaname 02:47, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

LinkStation Merge with Kuro Box

I agree with you, I essentially merged the content into the LinkStation entry. See what you think, it could serve as a combined entry for Kurobox Terastation, and LinkstationRaumka 05:21, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Use of rollback

Don't use rolback to revert good faith edits, for example the removal of unsourced content that has been tagged for over a year. Thanks, Addhoc 10:56, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your input is needed on the SOPA initiative

Hi A.M.,

You are receiving this message either because you expressed an opinion about the proposed SOPA blackout before full blackout and soft blackout were adequately differentiated, or because you expressed general support without specifying a preference. Please ensure that your voice is heard by clarifying your position accordingly.

Thank you.

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called A.M.. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name A.M.~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

Renamed

This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: Special:GlobalRenameRequest. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk)

Orphaned non-free image File:Icecast-logo.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Icecast-logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:43, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of KDE Dot News

The article KDE Dot News has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Specific obscure subject, could barely find any secondary sources whatsoever

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
