I just created an account. I have no particular plans but I would be happy to contribute in a minor way if possible. Native danish; historical and linguistic interest. But these things should be on a user page. Now I will try to find out how to create such a page. I have been using wikipedia for years as a reader but as a writer I expect there will be a lot of new things to learn and consider. --Bgort 12:14, 6 May 2007 (UTC) /bgort

Hello from Xala
Hiya!

Not really sure what I will be doing exactly but probably a combination of sharing my knowledge of Chemistry, Formula 1 and literature, filling Wikiquote with snippets from whatever I happen to be reading, and correcting spelling and grammar where appropriate (I work as a copy editor so that will be second nature, or even first nature, for me). As I'm a native speaker of Dutch as well as English I'll probably hang around the Dutch pages as well.

A few minutes ago, I made a comment on the talk page of "electricity meter". I will see if anyone responds. Then, perhaps, I will delete the sentence I think is wrong.

Dan (Ajcfreak)
Hey!

I'm an avid fan of Wikipedia (and have been so for quite a number of months). However, I got down to editing articles only a coupla weeks back and got deeper into the editing game just last week.

I am pretty new at this... Everyday on Wikipedia, I discover that there's a lot more out there than I previously thought there was!! I'm interested in basically almost anything - but if you check out my edits, you'd see that I've mostly worked with little-known/obscure topics related to my country (India) and with Contemporary Christian Music artists.

Frankly speaking, I am against vandalism. But what interests me more than curbing vandalism is increasing the quality of the articles found on Wikipedia - by citing appropriate references where necessary, verifying facts, etc. I'm only now starting to learn, though! For more info, chk out my User page... Ajcfreak 09:22, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Dera Sacha Sauda
A name alone that drives a wave of harmony in all the hearts. Dera Sacha Sauda is the name of the spiritual institution that from top to toe is committed to the selfless service of all mankind. Since its inception, the self-centred individuals who have been converted to tender-hearted fellows are far too numerous to count. The permanent residing servers over four hundred in counting work eighteen hours a day in the fields, and the income earned through their hard toil is spent in very exquisite welfare tasks. To help people during natural calamities, to manage for their rehabilitation, to donate blood to save them, to organise spiritual congregations to enlighten them and to change their whole life by giving the true wealth of Gurumantra are, to name but a few, the primary functions of Dera Sacha Sauda. The Present Master, Saint Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji, has recently started a movement against foeticide and drug addiction – widely-prevailing evils in today’s society. To blame such holy organization for wrongdoing and immorality is a great sin; in fact, no sin is likely to be greater than denouncing such a pious institution. His Highness Saint Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji or every true Saint who incarnated so far on this earth always made the people renounce their immoral perspectives and strived to make this very earth a heavenly place. Despite the false charges against Dera Sacha Sauda, the institution is still pacing towards its destined goal of welfare and certainly will do. Mukesh Ratia 10:48, 8 May 2007 (UTC)Mukesh

I have used Wikipedia extensively, mostly guided to it through Google. I recently noted deficiencies in the short article about Amos Tversky (who was my friend and often a collaborator from 1964 until his death in 1996), and decided to edit the article lightly. This in turn led me to become a new user by posting this comment.

Hi everyone,

Heard about Wikipedia at an entertainment publicists media workshop, so I'm checking it out. I do entertainment publicity, with offices in Los Angeles, San Diego and NY, representing TV, movie and music clients, some nonprofits and fortune 500's. 10 years ago I rep. Stevie Wonder and today my 12 year old son takes guitar lessons from Carlos Santana's newphew. If anyone needs anything, or wants to bounce questions about PR just fire away. I have 10 years of radio and TV news experience, too. Geo.

Hi,

I am new to this community and learning how to get started with it.

Hello!
Hi! My name is Julio, I'm spanish, and I'm 12 years old.

I made an account of Wikipedia because I am an epert gamer and I wanted to write about games on the internet, and on a wideley-known website, so I chose this one. Funny how it happened really.

You see, I had to write about Celsius and Fahrenheit and everything knnow about these units of temperature measure. I was loooking on Wikipedia for information about them, and I found some articles with quite a big amount of grammar mistakes adn text that nobody could ever understand, so I decided to re-write them and make them better, but I haven't got round to it as I haven't been able to get onto my computer for 2 days! In future I'll be doing this, but not now!

So, I hope to contribute well to Wikipedia with a ton of articles about video-games, and I wish all my best to the site! Thank you very much for reading this!

Julio

Sgruning 17:59, 21 May 2007 (UTC)sgruning Hi All: I am totally new to Wikipedia and very overwhelmed. I love the concept of Wikipedia and amazed at the wealth of information posted.

I have two objectives. I would like to post an article regarding lodging that I have yet to see posted on my subject and I would like to post a page regarding info on my lodging (www.chantillylaceinn.com) under wikitravel.

I am trying to figure out how to do both. Any feedback in layman's terms for a very non-technical but quick learner would be greatly appreciated.

I teach part time for two colleges and this is where I found out about Wikipedia - from my students. Even though they are not allowed to use Wikipedia as a reference, I do tell them to use Wikipedia to further understand a subject matter as I feel most of the info out here is legit.

(I hope I did this correctly!)

The amount of information furnished in many articles amazed me...and now its my habit to read a few pages of wiki even before i start my day.Im basically interested in HISTORY and particularly ancient and medival history (though ive very recently graduated in mechanical engg).It is in the past few months that ive discovered my passion for history.......and now im sure ive a great appetite for history. As far as my knowledge regarding history is considered, it isnt great as ive just started, so as of now im a dilettante.

Im fine to start with anything as im not that well acquainted with the things done here.Im ready.Will be grateful to any help. saint maxys 12:30, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I have been a social networker since I was first introduced to computers in the early 1980's. I have written many websites in my time (typically simple html sites) but find that it is far more fun to put together information from a number of sites (such as flickr, blogs and wiki's) than to write my own. Also I believe that a site like wikipedia provides a much better vehicle for sharing knowledge within the internet community.

Wikipedia is especially fascinating to me as it is such a free place to work within. I have wanted to get involved with Wiki work for the past two years but it wasn't until recently that I finally took the plunge. I am working on two threads right now - Key Skills and Raglan, Wales History. One is my work and the other my passion. Through these two projects I am working my way through learning how to be a wiki worker  --CLMorgan 00:59, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
