Welcome to Wikipedia! edit

Dear Glutted: welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:

Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user talk (discussion) page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. A third option is to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator.

One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with four tildes (~~~~). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD! -- lucasbfr talk 10:49, 14 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Vandalism report at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) edit

Thanks. I've reverted it. We don't really punish people here, we just point out that there are more appropriate places to experiment, and if they continue to spoil articles, we eventually prevent them from editing to prevent further damage. Normally, I wouldn't warn an anonymous editor about vandalism if more than an hour has passed, but I did add a warning in this case.

You can revert vandalism yourself; see WP:REVERT. You can also post warnings on the talk pages of users. See WP:UTM. If a user ignores such warnings and continues to vandalise, then WP:AIAV is the place to ask for admin action.-gadfium 04:54, 14 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
