Welcome to Wikipedia!
Dear Jpmorris2006: 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:


 * Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * Community Portal
 * Frequently Asked Questions
 * How to edit a page
 * How to revert to a previous version of a page
 * Tutorial
 * Copyrights
 * Shortcuts

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 page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Wikipedians try to follow a strict policy of never biting new users. If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator. One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with four tildes (~&#126;). 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! Banno 21:44, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Philosophy of unconditional love
The Philosophy of Unconditional Love is not my philosophy. I've read it and believe it is of encyclopedic significance... and adds to the value of WikiPedia. Furthermore, I added the citations for the source of this philosophy and the other philosophies.

Hello! I'm glad you are interested in contributing to Wikipedia. We welcome new articles about subjects of encyclopedic significance. The article you created, Philosophy of unconditional love, appears to be primarily about yourself, people you know, or your own ideas. As such it has been marked for deletion. If I've misunderstood the article, please go to the article and follow the instructions in the banner to respond. For a quick overview of Wikipedia's policies, see the five pillars of Wikipedia. You can still create other articles about encyclopedic subjects. If you can't think of a subject, you can check the recent requests or improve an existing article.

Courtesy
JP, it is unfortunate that the article you chose to work on as your first on the Wiki has been listed for deletion, and more unfortunate that you have taken this personally. The Wiki has a policy of not biting the newcomers; but editors also have a responsibility to ensure that the articles on the Wiki are suitable for an encyclopedia.

I am afraid that your first experience of the consensus process that underpins the Wiki has been negative. No doubt you have found this frustrating. You should be aware that Wikipedia has standards for discussion, and especially that No personal attacks is an official policy of the Wiki.

Perhaps you might choose some other articles to edit. Look around a bit and see what takes your interest. You help would be appreciated. Banno 21:01, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
