User talk:WikiNewbie

Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia , I hope you will like it here and decide to stay.

You may want to take a look at the welcome page, tutorial, and stylebook, avoiding common mistakes and Wikipedia is not pages.

Here are some links I've found useful:
 * Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Manual of Style
 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * Merge
 * New user log
 * Be Bold
 * Don't let grumpy users scare you off
 * Wikiquette
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * User page
 * How to upload files
 * Image copyright tags

Also: To sign comments on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;. This will automatically add your username and the time after your comments. Signing with three tildes &#126;&#126;&#126; will just sign your username. I hope to see you around Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on my talk page!

Please stop adding your little essay to Adolf Hitler. --Golbez 21:31, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

A Child's Point Of View
Thanks for contributing to wikipedia, but an essay like the one you keep inserting in the Adolf Hitler article is not something that belong in an encyclopedia article. So I'm removing it again. I'm sorry. Shanes 21:34, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Note
That's alright. However I did not remove the text, the above users did. You are not obligated to apologize to me. I would recommend that you view the above links to get a better understanding on how to contribute to Wikipedia. (But don't worry I've made the same mistakes myself. : ) Happy editing!

 * No problem. Have a nice day!

Note
The message beside the revision history is called an edit summary: When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:


 * [[Image:Edit_Summary-2.png|Edit summary text box]]

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers.

About my userpage, I have no higher authority on wikipedia, I am just an ordinary user. My userpage is not very complex, I have just spent a good amount of time improving it. I hope this has cleared up any confusions. Have a nice day! Johann Wolfgang [ T ... C ]  00:59, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
