As this is is an encyclopedia, please do not recreate advertisement pages on Wikipedia such as those similar to Bgtoys.com. Thank you for your understanding. --HappyCamper 05:13, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Help
I need some help using wikipedia.
 * 1) How do you post up a new topic? The way I do it seems pretty long and confusing.
 * 2) How to I contact you privately without other people reading what I wrote to you.

Thanks. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ftpower (talk &bull; contribs).

Welcome

 * 1) Hi there! To post a new topic on talk pages, there is a little plus sign at the top of the page which looks like this: (+) -- clicking on this will pull up a window where you can type the subject and message for the person.
 * 2) Each user has an "e-mail this user" link on their left panel. To e-mail me, you can also click on this link too: Special:Emailuser/HappyCamper. I am one of many administrators here, so please feel free to ask me anything about this site. In the meantime, here are our standard set of links for newcomers below - I hope you'll find them helpful:

One more question
The information you provided were pretty helpful. Thanks. I have one more quick question. What is the fastest way to post about a new topic on Wikipedia? Thanks again.


 * My apologies. I would have responded earlier, but I was under the impression that you wanted to send me an e-mail, which was why it took me 4 days to respond to your query. Type the topic of your interest into the search bar on the left. Then, click the "Go" button. Afterwards, there is a red link which says "create an article with this title" - click on this, and you're set! --HappyCamper 15:02, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
