Welcome Valuenyc!

Now that you've joined Wikipedia, there are 47,394,455 registered users!

Hello, Valuenyc. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm W.carter, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:   Introduction to Wikipedia   The five pillars of Wikipedia   Editing tutorial   How to edit a page   Simplified Manual of Style   The basics of Wikicode   How to develop an article   How to create an article   Help pages   What Wikipedia is not

Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:   Do be bold   Do assume good faith   Do be civil   Do keep cool!   Do maintain a neutral point of view   Don't spam   Don't infringe copyright   Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest   Don't commit vandalism   Don't get blocked

If you need further help, you can:   Ask a question

or you can:   Get help at the Teahouse

or even:   Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:   Fight vandalism   Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome   Help contribute to articles

Perform maintenance tasks   Become a member of a project that interests you   Help design new templates

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Sincerely, w.carter-Talk 22:09, 4 July 2015 (UTC)   (Leave me a message)

How to alert other editors

Hello again! It seems like you have been off to a rough start here at the Wikipedia, with only a bunch of templates and no real welcome, so better late than never.

Here are some additional tips on how to get in touch with other editors, sort of "how to use the phone" on the Wikipedia. Also, you are always welcome with questions at my talk page. I am one of the editors who often help newcomers here, so please just ask. Anyway:

When someone is posting on your talk page you get an automatic notification. That notification is a red square followed by a long yellow box (for most browsers and settings). In all other cases you have to alert the other editor in some way, either by "ping" or by mentioning them in a link. This will result in just the red box notification on that users pages. So even if you respond on your talk page you still have to alert the editor you are addressing. If you want to get hold of me you write {{ping|W.carter}} resulting in @W.carter: or [[User:W.carter|W.carter]] resulting in W.carter and sign with the four "squiggles" ~~~~ at the end and hit "Save". There are some more, but these are the basics. And when you ask something on someone's talk page, you also create a new section so your question don't get entangled in some other conversation. If you are having a conversation with another user on some page, it is also customary to add that page to your Watchlist in case someone in the discussion forgets to alert.

The policy is to leave an answer on the same page as the question, keep the conversation intact unless there is some reason for moving it elsewhere. Like complicated questions at the Teahouse can be continued on the appropriate talk page. Cheers, w.carter-Talk 22:16, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Felix Albrecht Harta moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Felix Albrecht Harta. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and those sources need to be reliable and independent of the subject. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 03:25, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your input. Please acknowledge this message. Altho I feel pretty confident about creating a page and editing it, the communication among wikipedia editors remains somewhat mysterious.

I do have to point out that the page you moved references https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Albrecht_Harta and its history. So I kind of thought that covered us as long as this is just a stub for the moment. I plan to expand this within the month, but it's a team effort so it takes time.

I will beef this up a bit today and request review again.

But thanks for ANY guidance here (e.g., especially, about depending on other wikipedia articles, about standards for stubs). Valuenyc (talk) 14:15, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
