Welcome to Wikipedia!

edit

Dear Kll,
Hello, and let me be first to welcome you to this great glorious mess we call Wikipedia.
I have created your account, and I hope you will take a few minutes to peruse a bit of reading material before you get to editing with your shiny new tools.

  • First off, you can learn the basics of editing Wikipedia at How to Edit a Page. There is a chart showing basic commands in Wikimarkup, the formatting language which Wikipedia uses, at the Cheatsheet, and you can find answers to frequently asked questions at the FAQ
  • It would also behoove you to learn about "Wikiquette"- that is which behaviors are appropriate here and which are not. You can find this information at Etiquette.
  • If you are editing Wikipedia with the screen reader Jaws, there is a page dedicated to keyboard shortcuts and other tips called Using Jaws. If you use a different screen reader or have a different disability and need assistance of any kind, make sure to drop us a line at Wikipedia Accessibility or WikiProject Accessibility to let us know how we can help you.

If you have any questions about anything at all, don't hesitate to leave me a message on my talk page. I usually respond very quickly, and if I don't know the answer... well, I'll find someone who does! You can leave a message on a talk page by clicking the "new section" tab at the top of the page. Don't forget to sign your posts with ~~~~ which substitutes your username and the time you left the message.
Have a wonderful time, and once again, WELCOME!

Just FYI, if you prefer lowercase, you can add {{lowercase}} to your user/talk pages, and customize your signature to be lower case. happy editing, –xeno (talk) 17:28, 3 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of SUNAB

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on SUNAB requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. WWGB (talk) 12:57, 18 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

edit

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 22:26, 13 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
