Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello, welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some tips:
 * Take a look at the Simplified Ruleset.
 * Read the Tutorial, How to edit a page and the Manual of Style.
 * Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
 * Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;).
 * Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board
 * Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
 * Use the Show preview button
 * Provide an Edit summary
 * Add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload
 * Take a look at Consensus of standards
 * Create a User page
 * Be bold
 * Ignore all rules

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the  link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alf 07:26, 28 August 2005 (UTC).

Hecate images and article
Two things...

First, you recently uploaded two images, Image:Hecate2.jpg (which you labeled public domain) and Image:Cybele_hekate_pergamonm1.jpg which you didn;t give any label to at all. I am concerned that these may be (and in fact propbably are) copyright violations. They are photographs of three dimensional objects. The photographs are in color, which means it's likely they are too recent to be old enough to be in the public domain themselves (photographs of two dimensional objects that are in public domain are also public domain). You also don't say at all where you got these images from.

Second, you have made an extensive amount of changes to the article itself, and it seems like you are completely going off the opinion of one author, treating her opinions as factual instead of noting them as her opinions. When you add information like this it is Wikipedia policy to cite your sources (see Verifiability) and not take the opinions of any one author as gospel (see Neutral point of view).

It's nice to see you making the efforts to do updates, but you should also make sure that you are not trying to do too much here without looking into how things should be done. DreamGuy 22:57, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
