Welcome to the Wikipedia!
Welcome to the Wikipedia, Besta! Hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! And thanks for the edits and contributions to the Administrative incompetence article. Here are some perfunctory tips to hasten your acculturation into the Wikipedia experience:


 * Take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial and The five pillars of Wikipedia.
 * When you have time, take a look at Manual of Style, and assume good faith, but keep in mind the unique style you brought to the Wiki!
 * Always keep the notion of NPOV in mind, be respectful of others' POV, and remember your unique perspective on the meaning of neutrality is invaluable!
 * If you need any help, post your question at the Help Desk.
 * Explore, be bold in editing, and, above all else, have fun!

And some odds and ends: Boilerplate text, Brilliant prose, Cite your sources, Civility, Conflict resolution, How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Pages needing attention, Peer review, Policy Library, Utilities, Verifiability, Village pump, Wikiquette

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes: &#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;. Best of luck, Besta, and have fun! Ombudsman 18:58, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Edit summary
I have written edit comments that disparaged the well-intentioned work of other Wikipedians, because I felt the need at that moment to "vent", but later I regretted the comments. This, alas, is one of the few places in the land of Wiki that one can't go back and fix mistakes. Whoever wrote a particular article is likely "watching" it, and it may be hard for that person to watch his baby get mangled (in the name of improvement) by a succession of editors. So it's best not to rub salt in these wounds by saying anything unkind in an edit comment. (But I agree with you; the use of "fused" was ill-advised in that one case!)&mdash;GraemeMcRaetalk 04:01, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
