Welcome from Martyman
Hi, I am glad you have signed up an account. If you want to get involved in editing articles about Canberra the Canberra WikiProject is a great place to get information and meet other Canberran wikipedians. There is also the Australian Notice Board which is a central communications medium for Australian wikipedians.

The following is a standard greeting used for new users, and may contain some links useful to you if you want to learn how to properly edit wikipedia articles. --Martyman- (talk) 02:37, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Hiye, I wasn't sure how to leave you a proper note, so hopefully this will reach you!


 * I wasn't really intending on doing much when I checked out the Canberra pages, I'm just one of those people that if I notice something not quite right — I have to say something. To be honest Wiki scares me a little, I'm very worried about breaking everything I touch, but I'm sure once I get a chance to read through what you've given me I'll feel a bit better about it. When I finally get the internet set up at home (20 days to connect Transact?! GAH!) I think I will look further into contributing to at least the general Canberra-based pages in any way I can.


 * I really wanted to say thank you for your warm welcome! I was dreading the thought of someone jumping down my throat for saying/doing the wrong thing, as happens too often online. Ta! ElaraAnne 04:18, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

This message is regarding the page Watson, Australian Capital Territory. Thanks for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. – ugen64 04:27, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Vandalism
I see you have already come accross and attempted to repair some vandalism on one of our articles. Ignore the message above. I think they assumed you had added the vandalism when you where actually trying to remove it. The easiest way to revert vandalism when you find it is to click the history tab at the top of the page and find a revision before the vandalism was added and then edit that revision and re-save it over the newer copies.

It doesn't matter too much if you accidently stuff anything up as any mistakes you could make are pretty easily fixed by the next person to come along. Have fun. --Martyman- (talk) 04:38, 15 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Maybe this page Revert does a better job explaining it than I just did. ;-) --Martyman- (talk) 04:40, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
