Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello, welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some tips:
 * Take a look at the Simplified Ruleset.
 * Read the Tutorial, How to edit a page and the Manual of Style.
 * Create a User page.
 * Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;).
 * Add yourself to the New user log.
 * Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
 * Be bold!
 * Use the Show preview button
 * Provide an Edit summary.

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the  link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alphax &tau;&epsilon;&chi; 13:47, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Cfd question
Hi, you asked a question on the discussion of Category:Hellenic_languages_and_dialects Cfd: ''there is a comment here that say "as this CFD day has concluded" (?) where is "the current day page"? can someone explain the comment (to my talk page) --Lucinos 09:43, 18 September 2005 (UTC)''. The note is left by the bot NekoDaemon to let users know that the day has ended and entries (NOT votes) should be made on the appropriate day page. This just helps keep users from adding new Cfds to the wrong date. Hope that answers your question. &infin; Who ? &iquest; ? 02:58, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

thank you --Lucinos 05:13, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Electrodynamics
Electrodynamics does not need its own article; the electromagnetism article discusses the term and what it means, and that's all that's needed. -- CYD

I didnt said it should be its own article, I say that it should be disambiguation page. --Lucinos 05:40, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

The two categories
It looks better, but it would be best if you could change the descriptive line at Category:Hellenic languages and dialects to say exactly what belongs there and what belongs at Category:Greek language, and also put the same line at Category:Greek language. If someone were to write an article on Romano-Greek, they should be able to look at the description of the two categories and immediately decide which category it belongs in. At the moment, Category:Hellenic languages and dialects says "This category includes all Hellenic (Greek) languages and dialects, both ancient and modern", which would seem to indicate that's the right place; but then if one sees Category:Greek language one might be tempted to put it there. Category:Greek language needs to say explicitly why it is a more specific category than Category:Hellenic languages and dialects. --Angr/undefined 09:58, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Okay, I think what you're going for is to have Category:Hellenic languages and dialects be for articles about languages/dialects only, and Category:Greek language to be for articles about linguistic aspects of (all periods of) Greek. Right? I've rephrased the messages on the categories to that effect. --Angr/undefined 17:22, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedians in Greece
Hi, I understand that you are either Greek Wikipedian or a Wikipedian living in/with an interest in Greece.

The category page Wikipedians/Greece has been replaced with Category:Wikipedians in Greece but your name still appears on the old list. You might considering moving it. You might also consider adding adding Template:Greekwiki to your user page.

A Greek Wikipedians' notice board has been in existence for some time but is terribly underutilised. It would certainly benefit from your involvement.--Damac 12:22, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

"Oldest language"
Hi Lucinos, yes, I basically agree with you. If we were to spell it out correctly, it would run like this: Greek is the language that has been spoken for the longest time
 * 1) in the same core geographical area
 * 2) by an (at least partly) continuous population group
 * 3) without splitting up into daughter languages to a significant degree
 * 4) without getting demoted into a "dead" or purely "classical" language
 * 5) after it got written for the first time.

Note that (5) doesn't say it was continually written (because there's a gap between Linear B and the alphabetic script); (3) is really not very meaningful linguistically, but is sometimes implied in people's claims about "oldest language". (4) is important in order to exclude competition from Aegyptian; (3-4) in order to exclude competition from Semitic. I don't remember about Chinese right now. The Indic languages (Vedic) would be competitors; they have a very long attested history that is reconstructed, as the Vedic texts are really quite old but got transmitted orally until they were written down much later. Without (5), of course, any number of languages would count as equally old or older than Greek on criteria (1-4), think only of Basque, which must have been around for ages. All in all, the conjunction of criteria (1-5) indeed filters out anything except Greek, but then, all these criteria are not really related to each other, so their combination is not linguistically very meaningful either.

WikiChess
Hi. I'm sorry but it seem that pl:Wikipedysta:Klin is no longer active on WikipediaPL. I started to work with new wersion of this template, wchich allows to use somekind of "styles" for more than only one 8x8 board game. Now, there are only chees and reversi styles. But i hope to resolve any problems fast. You can see the new version at: pl:szablon:szachownica --MonteChristof 18:14, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Edits to Necronomicon
"I'm Greek; I just know this!" is not an adequate reason for an edit. We only accept edits based on published, verifiable reliable sources. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  23:36, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Lucinos. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Lucinos~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:13, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 15:38, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
