Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes. Wikipedians try to follow a strict policy of never biting new users. If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator. One last bit of advise, please sign any dicussion comment with four tildes (~~~~). The software will automatically convert this into you signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD! Thank you, 5aret

Please note Wikipedia is not a dictionary, so articles like this tend to get removed. Thanks --pgk(talk) 20:40, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
Recursive links edit
It does not make much sense to add self-referential links to articles -- for example, a link fibers in the article fiber. --Austrian 21:06, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
Systemic edit
I saw you added a link on this page, the only other contibuter was the original page creator who is unregistered. However I wondered if you thought this page should be an Afd, given that it is really only a dictionary definition - and so might be better in wiktionary ? Davidruben 02:45, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
