Hi, Aberex. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person. You can talk to me right now. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. The tips below should help you to get started. Best of luck!  Chzz  ►  20:03, 6 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

 
ようこそ
  • You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.
  • Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.
  • Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.
  • When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

Re. Talk:Vladimir_Lenin#editsemiprotected,

Just a quick note, to say that I tidied up your request over there;

  • Please don't put the template in the section heading; you put == {{editsemiprotected}} ==, and that messes up the formatting. You should instead put a title, e.g. == Something ==, and put the {{editsemiprotected}} on the next line.
 
  • When you leave messages, please remember to "sign" your name, by putting ~~~~ (four tilde signs) at the end. This will add your name, and the date and time. You can also do this by clicking the 'sign' button, pictured here.

Note, I didn't do the request - I'll leave that to others; I just wanted to help explain these problems, to help you in the future.

Feel free to ask for help, any time.

Best,  Chzz  ►  20:03, 6 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
