Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hey there,, and welcome to our great encyclopedia, which currently has more than articles! Even with this large number, all of your contributions are important (including the small ones), and I hope you like the place and decide to stay! Here's a few starting tips for you:


 * You might want to check out the welcome page.
 * Then you can have a look at our guidelines.
 * After that, you can see here for a cheatsheet on editing pages (for a bigger list, see here).

After reading all this (or even just glimpsing at it), I can understand that you might feel apprehensive about editing and contributing articles, for fear of making a mistake. But don't worry too much about mistakes; after all, you're new. Instead, everyone here encourages you to be bold! If you need help with anything, feel free to [ leave me a message], or you can put  on your talk page, and someone will show up shortly to give you a hand.

One last thing: when leaving a message on someone's talk page, don't forget to put four "tildes" (~) to automatically sign your name.

Happy Editing! -- P.B. Pilhet  00:29, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Potential conflict of interest
Thanks for the following edit "This was actually quite interesting and is based on referenced work", but given Nancy Gerits wrote that web page, I wonder if you might have a conflict of interest adding such material to wikipedia?

It might be more appropriate to suggest the addition of that link on the talk page. If the web site is agreed to be appropriate then someone else can add it. Thanks for understanding. David D. (Talk) 07:32, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Did you know that all your contributions to wikipedia are adding your own web sites? David D. (Talk) 08:27, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Adding links
Hello, and thanks for your contributions. Unfortunately, the link you added to Absinthe seems a bit like spam, and I've removed it. Please do not add commercial links, links to your own private websites, or unnecessary links to Wikipedia. Even if your link features a product or service directly related to the topic of the article, Wikipedia is not a business directory, a vehicle for advertising, or a collection of external links. You are welcome to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia, provided that content is in keeping with our guidelines. If you feel the link should be added to the article please suggest it on the article's talk page, or drop me a line and we can discuss it. See the welcome page to learn more about contributing to Wikipedia. Thanks in advance. Kafziel Complaint Department 08:31, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Dicklyon (talk) 02:12, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
