Welcome!

Hello, Maimons, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Thank you for your contributions. Also, thank you for your message on the Help Desk. It's great that you want to contribute to Wikipedia - the more constructive editors the better!


I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Getting the articles just right can be tricky - but there are lots of people to ask!

If you have any questions, just click on the Contact Me link after my signature at the end of this section. Alternatively, check out Wikipedia:Questions, or ask your question on this page and then place {{helpme}} before the question.

By the way, when you are writing on a discussion page (or someone's talk page), it is considered good manners to sign your comment... to do this, just add ~~~~ at the end of your comment. That will put your user name (Maimons) and the date/time at the end (or you can click on the icon when you are editing. Never sign on an article page - only on a discussion page.


If you have any other questions, leave me a message by clicking on "Contact Me" in my signature.}}

I am now going to add my signature, using ~~~~: -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 02:15, 20 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

  • If you want to upload an image from your computer for use in an article, you must determine the proper license of the image (or whether it is in the public domain). If you know the image is public domain or copyrighted but under a suitable free-license, upload it to the Wikimedia Commons instead of here, so that all projects have access to the image (sign up). If you are unsure of the licensing status, see the file upload wizard for more information. Please also read Wikipedia's image use policy.
  • If you want to add an image that has already been uploaded to Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons, add [[File:File name.jpg|thumb|Caption text]] to the area of the article where you want the image to appear – replacing File name.jpg with the actual file name of the image, and Caption text with a short description of the image. See our picture tutorial for more information. I hope this helps. -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 02:15, 20 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
