POLATIAN
Hello, POLATIAN, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I notice that one of the first articles you created appears to be an article about yourself. This is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.
The page you created about yourself has been or will shortly be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, but if you want to use the content from it, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.
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 your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Marasmusine (talk) 12:03, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Παρακαλούμε να μην προσθέτετε ελληνικά κείμενα στην Αγγλική Βικιπαίδεια. Η συνεισφορά σας είναι ευπρόσδεκτη στην Ελληνική Βικιπαίδεια. Please do not contribute text in Greek to English Wikipedia. Your contributions are more than welcome at the Greek Wikipedia. Thank you.
The message you posted at Wikipedia talk:Pages needing translation into English#ΛΑΖΑΡΟΣ ΠΟΛΑΤΙΑΝ is at the wrong place. You could start an article at Lazaros Polatian and/or one at the Greek Wikipedia at el:Λάζαρος Πολατιάν. Andreas (T) 12:46, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
