Welcome to Wikipedia!

edit

Hey there, MikeSMorgan, and welcome to our great encyclopedia, which currently has more than 1,880,824 articles! Even with this large number, all of your contributions are important (including the small ones), and I hope you like the place and decide to stay! Here's a few starting tips for you:

After reading all this (or even just glimpsing at it), I can understand that you might feel apprehensive about editing and contributing articles, for fear of making a mistake. But don't worry too much about mistakes; after all, you're new. Instead, everyone here encourages you to be bold! If you need help with anything, feel free to leave me a message, or you can put {{helpme}} on your talk page, and someone will show up shortly to give you a hand.

One last thing: when leaving a message on someone's talk page, don't forget to put four "tildes" (~~~~) to automatically sign your name.


Happy Editing! -- P.B. Pilhet 18:12, 12 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Request for template comment

Hello, I just wanted to know what your opinion is on this template. It would be nice to have any input on it.

PS: This is for Wikipedia:WikiProject Oriental Orthodoxy, which, as I can see, you have not joined yet. You can if you are interested.

Thanks,

Church of the Holy Virgin in Babylon Al-Darag

I require help for developing the article for this Church (located in Coptic Cairo). You can do so by editing my sandbox at User:Troy 07/Sandbox (the page which currently holds my little project). I have contacted all of the other Coptic Wikipedians I know of for help. Please remember that copyright infringement will have to be reduced, as I have got the information from an article. I have typed a hidden message mentioning that and other things worth mentioning.

This is a list of all the Coptic Wikipedians that I know of (including myself):


Thank-you for your participation.

Copts ARE NOT Arab Christians!!!

edit

I need your input. It seems that the fact that I (and Lanternix) can't convince some people who are possibly more lacking on the details of how Copts view their ethnicity. I have said it time and time again: Copts are not to be labelled as Arabs!!!

...I know that this all seems silly, but your input will be greatly appreciated (as you could help in finding sources, pointing things out; etc...).

You can post edits on this issue at the following link: Talk:Arab_Christians#UNACCEPTABLE_OMISSION_OF_COPTS.

Thank-you, ~ Troy 01:07, 8 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

حبيب جرجس

edit

Hey MikeSMorgan! Help would be appreciated if you can improve/expand "Habib Girgis" (and if you're willing to start an article in Arabic Wikipedia taken from here, then that would be great). I have put some sources as well (ie: I've read online that there's a book written by Habib Girgis called "between past and present"//"بين الماضي والحاضر", so if you have it, that would be great). You don't need to do any of this if you don't have time, but if you do, then I'll be there to help out. Thanks, ~ Troy (talk) 20:18, 20 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Egyptians

There is a user that continuously vandalizes the article Egyptians by removing the composite picture on top. Please consider restoring this abuse because I've already reverted it twice today. Thanks! --Ⲗⲁⲛⲧⲉⲣⲛⲓⲝ[talk] 16:58, 3 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Help requested

edit

Nofri Mike! I would like your help on the article Al-Muizz Lideenillah. One of the users is insisting to remove any reference to the miracle of moving the Mokattam mountain, to Pope Abraam the Syrian and St Simon the Tanner, and to the conversion of Al-Muizz. Your help there would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance :) --λⲁⲛτερⲛιξ[talk] 02:11, 26 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
