Welcome new user edit

Hello, User:Симуран, I see you opened an account and began to make edits to the encyclopaedia last May but have not yet received a welcome. Let me correct that now and say you are most welcome here and thank you for the many constructive edits you have made . I am particularly fond of Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party art installation which I see you have made some corrections to.

I'm Lumos3, one of the numerous editors here. I voluntarily work as a welcomer to newcomers. I'm posting below a standard welcome box with lots of useful links. I hope you get pleasure from editing and making Wikipedia an even better resource for the community.

I myself have come to the conclusion that editing or watching a topic is a great way to learn about it in depth and stay on top of current developments in a field.

Wikipedia encourages new members to jump in and make corrections and contributions to articles. I found the Be bold guideline particularly encouraging when I was getting started. I also found the Wikipedia:Cheatsheet a useful quick reference for editing the source text but our new VisualEditor makes editing much easier (This needs to be turned on in your user preferences under beta features).

If you have any questions about the project don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page here :- User_talk:Lumos3.

Happy editing,

  • Hello! I'm glad to read your message. I mostly work in the Russian Wikipedia, but I also read the English one, and when I see an obvious error I try to fix it. Your welcome is a pleasant surprise :) I'll fill in my profile page now. Hopefully it isn't my last edit here. --Симуран (talk) 19:54, 12 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
