Welcome!

Hi there, Rusish, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm a regular contributor here, and when I notice on the recent changes log that a new editor has registered, I like to send them a welcome message - that's how I ended up on your talk page.

If you've never edited here before, there are a few useful links that you might want to look at, designed to help newcomers learn the ropes:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

Here are a few features of Wikipedia that I find particularly helpful:

• If you leave a message on a talk page, you can sign it with four tildes (~), which will automatically produce your name and a date stamp when you save the page.
• The "Show preview" button allows you see what your post will look like before you save it - that way, you can proofread what you've written and not have to go back and correct spelling mistakes, failed links, etc.
• You can create a watchlist for yourself that will keep a record of any changes made to a page that interests you.

There are plenty of other features and facets of Wikipedia, many of which I probably haven't even discovered myself, so have fun looking around and finding them.

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Again, welcome! - Tapir Terrific, 15:48, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Michael Petrow

Hi there. About your article on... your father, I think? Here's the thing.

We cannot have articles on people just because they exist. Otherwise there would be billions of articles, and it would be completely useless.

What did Michael Petrow do that would make him noteworthy?

I've deleted the article, but you can re-create it if you can put in information that explains why he should have an article. DS 17:05, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
