One of our board members found the article above. We would like to know who created it. I can see edits, but not original author.

consultant, World_Network_of_Users_and_Survivors_of_Psychiatry (WNUSP)


 * Hi, Sylvia. You can click on the tab that says "history" above a page, and it will show you the edit history, including who has edited the page.  In the case of the article you mention, the history can be found here.  It was User:Ombudsman that created the article (this version, at least).  Mango juice talk 00:14, 11 May 2006 (UTC)


 * It's not actually the "new" that defines the creator of the article. For any article, the first edit is the edit in which the article is created.  Chances are Ombudsman won't identify himself, especially not publically; it's unusual for WP editors to do so.  It may be better to contact him via the "email this user" link on the left side when you are viewing User:Ombudsman.  Mango juice talk 00:26, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to the Wikipedia!
Hello, and Welcome to the Wikipedia, Sylvia.Caras! Thanks for inquiring about the WNUSP article. Great to hear from you again! Sorry for not keeping in touch and for not having any specific recollection about stumbling onto WNUSP. Your work with a couple of other defenders of human rights, PeopleWho and Protection & Advocacy, Inc. is greatly appreciated. It is a great pleasure to welcome you aboard the good ship Wiki. You may want to check the discussions regarding the Biological psychiatry article, if you are up to the task of witnessing how matters related to psychiatric weaponry are dealt with by conventional medicine gatekeepers. Please pardon the formalities, but the following are a few perfunctory tips intended to hasten your acculturation into the Wikipedia experience:


 * Take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial and Manual of Style.
 * When you have time, please peruse The five pillars of Wikipedia, and Assume good faith, but keep in mind the unique style you brought to the Wiki!
 * Always be mindful of striving for NPOV, be respectful of others' POV, and remember your perspective on the meaning of neutrality is invaluable!
 * If you need any help, post your question at the Help Desk.
 * Explore, be bold in editing, and, above all else, have fun!

And some odds and ends: Boilerplate text, Brilliant prose, Cite your sources, Civility, Conflict resolution, How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Pages needing attention, Peer review, Policy Library, Utilities, Verifiability, Village pump, and Wikiquette; also, you can sign your name on any page by typing four tildes: &#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;.

Best of luck, Sylvia.Caras, and most importantly, have fun! Ombudsman 05:55, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
