Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello, welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed nobody had said hi yet... Hi!

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.

You might like some of these links and tips:
 * some General guidance.
 * Tutorial and the Manual of Style.
 * Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
 * Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;).
 * Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board
 * Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
 * Use the Show preview button
 * Provide an Edit summary
 * Add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload
 * Take a look at Consensus of standards
 * Create a User page

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, -- Alf melmac 21:44, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Re: Provencher Bridge

 * You made the following addition to the article:

"Others however view it as a phallic symbol largely in part to the homosexual mayor Winnipeg had at the time of conception."

You provided no sourcing for your addition, and in the wiki article you suggested I look at, it made no references to the above statement. If this is your personal opinion, keep in mind that Wikipedia is not a soapbox. Please see What Wikipedia is Not. Tachyon01 16:15, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Your edit to Malcolm X
Hi. I noticed that you added the following sentence to the article about Malcolm X:

"The surname of 'Little' was actually given to Earl by his slave masters while he was younger, therefore his true given surname is actually unknown."

I have two questions. First, had Earl Little been enslaved? (I don't think the Autobiography says so, but maybe some other source does.) If not, he inherited the name "Little" from an enslaved ancestor, and you might want to tighten up the sentence to say that. Second, I've done some editing of the slave name article, and I want to edit the Malcolm X article but I haven't had the time. If Earl Little wasn't enslaved himself, you might want to refer to "Little" as his (or Malcolm X's) "slave name" and link to that article.

Also, if you'd like to, please help improve the slave name article. Malik Shabazz 22:54, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
