Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello, Kingsley Langenberg, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, I hope that you decide to keep editing. Here are some pages that might help you in your edits. If you can't find what you need there, just put  on your talk page, and someone should come to help you fairly quickly, or ask me on my talk page.


 * Useful pages
 * Wikipedia tutorial
 * Simplified Ruleset
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages and vote pages using four tildes (~&#126;); this will automatically produce your username and the date.

I see that your current edits are on the begonia page. If you are interested in plants I would recommend checking out WikiProject Plants and WikiProject Horticulture and Gardening, both of which have useful information on the standard article style of their respective topics.

I hope that you enjoy editing! Pharaoh Hound  (talk)  21:33, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the proof-reading
I just wanted to say thanks for picking up on that most grevious error on my userpage (I would've never noticed it myself). I hope that everything's working out on Wiki so far for you. If you need any help just ask! -- Pharaoh Hound  (talk)  22:09, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Your username
Your message to me seemed to express regret at using your real name as your username. If you want, you could probably get it changed at Changing username (I assume you want to change your username to protect your privacy, which is a valid reason to change one's username). I bumped into this page while wasting time on Wiki, remembered of your apparent dislike of your username, and decided to let you know in case you don't find it yourself (I just discovered it today, and I've been editing prolifically since February of 2006). By the way, your current signature name of Begonial is unused, so you could change your name to that. -- Pharaoh Hound  (talk)  13:24, 6 September 2006 (UTC) I read the FAQ about changing one's username and decided my privacy wasn't so important that it required the work required to change it.

Now I have a question for you: Are you an official  greeter for Wikipedia or do you just volunteer to be a friendly face at the door? In any case, it was awfully nice and effective too to be greeted that quickly. --Begonial 18:04, 6 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm a part of the Welcoming Committee. Basically, it's volunteer stuff. And it can be joined by any Wikipedian, with no obligations or requirements. I joined because I remembered how nice it was to recieve a greeting and thought that it would be nice to do it for others. I just try to go above and beyond the civility guidelines 'cuz that's how I like to be treated. -- Pharaoh Hound  (talk)  15:31, 7 September 2006 (UTC)


 * And you are doing a good job. I'm still learning this strange (to me) markup language and also to sign in before editing.  I just got through changing someone's photo (with his blessing) but, since I forgot to sign in, it looks like someone did it anonymously.Begonial 23:45, 7 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks. From what I've seen you're doing a good job so far. While trying to improve my welcomes I found a cheatsheat for some of the basic wiki markup which might be useful in learning the markup. As always, ask me if you need help! -- Pharaoh Hound  (talk)  14:07, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
