Welcome to the Wikipedia
Welcome, newcomer!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:


 * First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
 * When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
 * Remember to use a neutral point of view!
 * If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:


 * Policy Library
 * Utilities
 * Cite your sources
 * Verifiability
 * Wikiquette
 * Civility
 * Conflict resolution
 * Brilliant prose
 * Pages needing attention
 * Peer review
 * Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
 * Village pump
 * Boilerplate text

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: &#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;.

Best of luck, and have fun!

Mohammed/Muhammad
Hi, I realize that Muhammad is simply a transliteration from Arabic to latin characters, so it probably doesn't matter which spelling Wikipedia uses. My feeling, however, is that it benefits Wikipedia to be consistent. Formerly, pages were linked to Mohamed, Muhamed, Mohamad, Muhammad, Muhammed, Mohammad, Mohammed, Mohemmed, and Mahommed. While it may not matter which of these spellings is used, consistency helps readers of Wikipedia realize that there was only one Prophet Muhammad, rather than about 10 different ones. The same confusion comes from Koran vs. Quran vs. Qur'an, Moslem vs. Muslim, and other transliterations. If one form is generally accepted, it makes sense to consistently use that form, rather than mixing and matching 20 different spellings. In many cases, in fact, there are pages with multiple spellings of a name in the same paragraph. This is bound to confuse some readers. --Jacobolus 17:06, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
