User talk:AliKhan007

Welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed you were new, or at least that nobody has officially welcomed you yet, so let me be the first to say hello, give you some tips, and share a few useful links.

One thing we like to tell newcomers is to be bold. By this we mean don't be afraid to join the rest of us in improving the articles you see here. Most Wikipedians are friendly and patient, willing to give you the same respect you give them, no matter who they are or how long they've been here.

It's important to note, however, that being bold does not include being reckless. For that reason, some newcomers find that it's good to be cautious at first. If you're the type who likes to start out small and learn the ropes by fixing typos or just browsing, that's good, too. It certainly helps to avoid conflicts with other users if you learn the ins and outs before making major changes. If it's a big edit or a controversial issue, you may want to look at the article's talk page to see if the issue has been discussed in the past, or to post a message to see what other editors think about your proposed change before you make it. It's important to cite references and set personal points of view aside.

Here are some links you might find helpful:
 * User tutorial
 * Help desk
 * Policy on maintaining a neutral point of view
 * Policy for content when editing articles and creating new ones
 * Tips for settling disputes

Now that you have your own user name, you can sign your discussions by typing four tildes (~&#126;). This will automatically stamp your user name, the time, and the date. That will help other users reply to your posts.

I hope this information is useful to you, and I'm looking forward to seeing your contributions. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me for help. Kafziel 15:20, 17 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Thankyou, i appreciate you welcoming me. I have been to wikipedia many times before and usually not registered but this time I had to although I didn't want to. AliKhan007 20:14, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
