Welcome to Wikipedia!
Dear : welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:


 * Introduction
 * Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * Frequently Asked Questions
 * How do you edit a page?
 * How do you revert to a previous version of a page?
 * What about copyrights?
 * Community Portal

Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user talk (discussion) page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. A third option is to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator.

One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with four tildes ( ~ ). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD! PatricknoddyTALK (reply here) | HISTORY 19:03, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Ridis
Hello,

Thank you for your contribution. Could you please add some references to the article, though? Material on Wikipedia must be attributable to a reliable source. (See Attribution.) If you have any questions, you can ask me at my talk page. Sancho (talk) 07:07, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Ridis, is not consistent with our policy on attribution and verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Sancho (talk) 06:33, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Ridis
I have added a "" template to the article Ridis, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent contribution removed maintenance notices from, even though required changes haven't been made. If you are uncertain whether the page requires further work, or if you disagree with the notice, please discuss these issues on the page's talk page before removing the notice from the page. These notices and comments are needed to establish community consensus about the status of a page. Sancho (talk) 13:53, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I nominated Ridis for deletion because the material seems to not be attributable to a reliable source (see Attribution). There is a discussion page at Articles_for_deletion/Ridis. Please join the discussion to give your opinion. Also, I invite you to try to improve Wikipedia outside of this one article. There is a lot of work to do. You could start by just browsing the Five pillars and then heading over to a Special:Random article. Sancho (talk) 13:53, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
