John
Hey, um, I'm John Smalting. I've been reading Wikipedia everyday since I first laid eyes on it two years ago. There's just nothing that you couldn't find here. Well, I'm fond of videogames, literature, and art. I first encountered Wikipedia when I searched for something to help me with my report. I was hooked ever since. I'll try to help as much as I could. Thanks. John Smalting 13:28, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi! I"ve been reading articles on wikkipedia for a while but just now decided to create an account.I"m interested in history, linguistics, literature, sociology and neurobiology. Maybe editing some stuff will get rid of my weird fear of writing on the net. :) So if anyone has any tips it would be great! Flclovesun 01:59, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi from lickamaloin
Wow, what a site. I bumped across the site a couple of months ago, and now it's become a full-time replacement for google. In the interests of good e-citizenship, I thought I should take the plunge and contribute.

My interests include:  Hard Dance music Madonna  Global politics, especially European integration  Gay issues, clubbing and culture British royal history 

This that's about it so far. And if this clever formatting I've just tried above works, I'll eat my hat ...

Hello all, Been browsing Wikipedia for about a year, decided to 'join' to help out a bit. Interests: (alternative) music, vegetarianism, medicine, open-source stuff... that'll do for a start. I flatter myself that I can use/write (Australian) English acceptably well and have a reasonable grasp of punctuation and grammar (loved the book Eats Shoots & Leaves). Hopefully I'll do more good than bad! Found out about Wikipedia from one of my brothers-in-law IIRC. Catch you 'round the campus. Rockcake 02:59, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Gardener of Geda
Hello there.

I've often used Wiki as a quick reference point, but this is my first ever attempt at actually becoming a "name", as it were.

I hope to contribute some useful material to the project. In the meantime, I'm just going to wander around and learn all I can.

How did I find out about Wikipedia? I can't honestly remember. I suppose I must have been linked to some article or other once upon a time, and navigated back to the main page. A good find, methinks.

Interests? Eclectic. Science, science-fiction, space advocacy, history, good movies 'n' music, insane humour, IT, AI ........ and so on. I like to write, which is very probably a good thing. Yes.

See you around .......

Hello! Somewhat new to WikiPedia
Hi! I've been making small edits since August on subjects I know well (mostly visual effects and scotch whisky.) Lately, I decided to add small pages covering products and companies I also know well. The pages I've added are so far in the world of video games.

Outside WikiPedia, I have had careers in cartoons, visual effects and video games, so would be happy to help out in these fields. My interests include the making & history of scotch whisky, filmmaking (directing and writing,) Chicago, and the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles, among many others.

I welcome comments & criticism and kudos.

Thanks! Geoffmark 22:46, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

I've been making edits here for about nine months now, but didn't do much more than that until I ran through the sturm & drang of the Physics WIP lead article discussion. Yeesh. I'm an observational astronomer by training (and was a professional astronomer for about 15 years post-PhD). Most, but not all, of my messing around has been in the Astronomy bailiwick.

Just getting started
Hi, everybody, I'm a new user and I just got started. Just call me Seabiscuit. Anyway, I don't really know what my field of expertise is, aside from TV and random trivia. I know the basics of editing, but I'm no good at the more advanced stuff, like external links, and citing sources. To get me started in the right direction, could someone assign me pages that require basic clean-up such as spelling and grammar? After that, I could gradually start moving on to the more advanced stuff.

I've been nagging myself recently to learn how to properly contribute to Wikipedia (learning all this code and stuff). You guys can call be Kevin or kevo'. I don't like my registered name much anymore. Anyways, I felt like I could help out on this famous project. I signed up quite a while ago, but I have really been inactive. I hope I will be active in the future. -Kevingamer 05:47, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm sure that this is the wrong place on your site to do this. I would dearly love to add something to your encyclopeadia, but your 'front end' is dreadfully user unfriendly. Sorry, I'm hopelessly lossed in, what, I'm sure is a great system. I'd like to tell you about my father, Noel Bibby, some of the unknown truths about outdoor clothing and the hogwash that passes as truth in todays market

I've edited a few pages, so I thought I'd better create an account so that people can yell at me.

I've already made a few contributions, but I decided it would be easier to help as a user.

NorthWord here
Hi, all! I've been a Wikipedia member for quite awhile now, but I don't think I've come here yet to introduce myself. I think this site is one of the best out there & I'm hooked on it. If I see a Google! result with wikipedia.org in the address, this is usually the first place I'll come. I find it very useful & informative. It's not complete, but I know that it's being worked on constantly, & I do hope to add things I know to help in its progress.

Whoever thought of this had a great idea, & I'm thankful for it! :)

Wiwat1802

First of all, I'd like to thank you for allowing me to search and read your biography on Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) since I've been interested in reading his short fictive stories. Some months ago I bought a paperback copy of his "Collected Fictions" (tr. by Andrew Hurley) published by Penguin Books but I thought while reading some stories that I needed more in-depth understanding regarding his literary works and other related backgrounds. One of the reasons is that he wrote about the Buddha in another volume (entitled something like "Non-fictions", I'm sorry I don't have the copy nearby to verify, thus I'd revisit this page to correct it) and it surprised me since I'm a Buddhist and notice that it's quite rare for Western authors themselves to pay attention to other religious founders. Therefore, it's my sheer delight to read Borges' ideas, understanding and what he tried to portray the Buddha even though he was not His follower at all. I personally think he might have acquired or been able to comprehend or lighten himself from his reading on Buddha's life and Buddhism sometime. Still, I'm wondering why he became interested in the Buddha. Again, I'm delighted to tell the world that Borges wrote superbly well with deep understanding on the Buddha and the religion, he deserves respect and gratitude from Buddists all over the world for his open-minded scholarship.

Chris Lowes of Dolphin Care UK - www.dolphincareuk.org
My name is Chris Lowes and I am the founder of Dolphin Care UK, an organisation fighting to save the lives of many dolphins killed every year around the UK. DC UK are active in the fight against By-Catch, by-catch is where dolphins are caught in fisheries nets and then discarded (usually) dead overboard. Every year around the UK pairs of trawlers fish for sea bass and tuna, these fisheries tow huge nets at high speed through the waters, scooping up all in their paths. These nets are the size of four or five football fields, the dolphins do not stand a chance once they are trapped in these nets of death. I am new to Wikipedia and I need your help to get this message across to all the people around the world. Dolphins are dying all around the world due to fisheries who care only about profits and not what they catch. Please visit our website at www.dolphincareuk.org for more information about By-Catch and what Dolphin Care UK are trying to do to put a stop to it. I need your help to build this page and will be greatful for all the help you are willing to give me.

Please, please help me and more so the dolphins around the UK and the rest of the world. They are mammals just like you and I and they need to breathe, once trapped in these nets of death they are already dead. We must all try and stop this and stop it now, 2007 see's the start of the UN's Year of the Dolphin, the dolphins need our help now. Please help, anyway you can.

With kind regards.

From.
