Welcome to Wikipedia!
Dear Mamtash: 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! Krakatoa Katie  01:34, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Articles for creation
Thanks for submitting a suggestion to Articles for creation. The Article for creation process is intended for anonymous users. Since you are a logged-in registered user, you don't need to use this process; you can create articles yourself. If you'd like to create this article, follow the steps and guidelines listed on Help:Starting a new page. Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia! Krakatoa Katie  01:34, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

The Impact of the East and India on the genius of William Somerset Maugham
Thanks for contributing The Impact of the East and India on the genius of William Somerset Maugham. It has been deleted because it appears to be original research; see No original research. Please consider contributing to the existing article W. Somerset Maugham. NawlinWiki 12:32, 2 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the message you left on my talk page. As NawlinWiki says above, Wikipedia is not the place for original research. Your piece can't have an article of its own because Wikipedia is not a publisher of original works. Wikipedia depends on verifiability of reliable sources, and there's no way to verify the article you presented. There's a Wikipedia article on W. Somerset Maugham, where your contributions of verifiable sources would certainly be welcome. Krakatoa  Katie  07:47, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
