I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the Five pillars of Wikipedia and simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will be by to help you shortly.
If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Response: From this diff: [1] it appears that you have removed certain entries such as salsa, soy sauce, etc. You also removed an inter-wiki link to a foreign language Wikipedia. There was also no edit summary specified so nobody could tell why the entries were removed. If you think that the entries should be removed, please specify the reason in an edit summary to prevent such things from happening again. Thank you. -- Hdt83Chat 03:57, 11 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
I am not sure what is going on. I did not remove entries for salsa or soy sauce or a link to a foreign language Wikipedia. I made a simple grammatical correction in the first paragraph which didn't delete anything and didn't change the meaning of the sentence so I didn't see any reason to provide an edit summary. I will certainly do it in the future, but I am not sure how that will solve having changes I did not make credited to my user name.Schaddm 04:12, 14 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
