Dear Quaggga: 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

 * 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 dicussion 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!

Useful Wikipedia pages to review
Secondly here are some additional resources you may find helpful:

... when editing potential controversial articles
My father, a first generation Scottish American, traveled frequently to Scotland and had many friends there. He observed that the Massacre of Glencoe was still a point of contention for many Scots, even after several centuries.

I see you've taken to editing this article and already encountered a bit of minor, fairly civilized controversy. Here are some links you may want to look at if you're going to edit more controversial articles:
 * Help:Edit summary -- always use edit summaries
 * Citing sources -- always do this on controversial articles (either with footnotes or comments on the article page)
 * Talk page guidelines
 * Sign your posts on talk pages
 * Etiquette
 * Harassment -- extreme cases -- you shouldn't see this
 * Civility
 * Assume good faith -- really important
 * No personal attacks
 * Three-revert rule -- break this rule and get banned from editing. It's actually not that hard to do if you're not thinking
 * No original research
 * Neutral point of view -- the ultimate goal when editing controversial articles
 * Verifiability

Having said all this, don't shy away from editing controversial articles. I'm including these links to be helpful -- it's not intended to be some sort of "hint" about your editing pattern to date. --A. B. 16:42, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

...when creating new articles

 * Categorization
 * Build the web
 * Guide to layout

Your new Baron of Scales article has been tagged as needing "wikification" (formatting to Wikipedia norms). Don't sweat this too much -- "content is king" on Wikipedia. We need substantive content more than formatting, although understanding basic formatting is important. These three links will help you with this. --A. B. 16:42, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you
Finally, and most importantly, thank you for your edits to date, especially your new Baron of Scales article. As I said above, we always need additional substantive content. --A. B. 16:42, 29 June 2006 (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 Quaggga. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Quaggga~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 02:14, 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) 17:50, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
