Hi there, I see you are a New Zealander (or at least, appear to be by your edits). There are several NZ related Wikipedia pages that you may be interested in.


 * Portal:New Zealand
 * New Zealand Wikipedians' notice board
 * WikiProject New Zealand
 * New Zealand Collaboration of the Fortnight
 * Adding to your userpage will list you as a NZer.

Welcome, and enjoy. Feel free to ask me for any help you need on my talk page.- gadfium 05:16, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Adoption
Okay, great. Just let me know when you need any help with anything or have any questions. Judging from the edits you made so far, you're already familiar with the wiki markup and everything. You might want to read Manual of Style and Attribution since these are two quite important guidelines and policies, but I can totally see that all the rules we have here might be a little much for someone new to the project, so I wouldn't worry about all of that too much, yet, if I were you. Nobody's going to get mad at you for not being familiar with every little guideline – at least they shouldn't; that's a guideline, too ;)

Since you said on your userpage you want to work on New Zealand-related pages, I thought you might be interested in the WikiProject New Zealand and the WikiProject New Zealand places (if you don't already know about these). WikiProjects are community pages that coordinate work on articles that belong to one topic (so that, for example, every article on a film has a similar layout).

Again, let me know if you have any questions – you can feel free to ask about anything. Happy editing. --Fritz S. (Talk) 10:15, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Bots
Bots are used to make automated edits that would be too much or too monotonous for actual human editors to do. Bots can be written in various programming languages and each bot has to be approved before it is used. If you have an idea for a bot, but do not want to create it yourself, you can also request it here. A somewhat easier alternative to bots are programs such as the AutoWikiBrowser, which allows you to make edits using regex, but each edit will still have to be verified manually. Hope that helps. If not, let me know. --Fritz S. (Talk) 09:27, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
