Welcome to Wikipedia!

Dear Boeing7873: 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 this 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!   Stifle (talk) 08:15, 29 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

PACK Pneumatic Air Cycle Kit

Hello Stifle, I am totally new to editing WIKI and you are my first human interaction in the system. I edited a couple of articles and you are proposing one of them for deletion. It is about PACKs and ACMs, (Aeronautical Engineering stuff). The PACK article was actually empty and had a redirect to the ACM article. You suggest DicDef for reason for deletion, but I have not been able to find that reason in the Wikipedia context. Looking forward to my second attempt to contribute!

Thank you for your message. In future, please sign your messages by typing ~~~~ at the end.
"Dicdef" is shorthand for "dictionary definition". Because Wikipedia is not a dictionary, articles need to be more than just a dictionary definition of their content. Feel free to expand the article and remove the proposed deletion tag. Stifle (talk) 08:15, 29 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
