User:Malikussaid/References
Due to few welcome notices I received at Wikipedia by Ysangkok and TheOriginalSoni, which contain many, many useful links, and the policy of Bwilkins of keeping only 1 welcome notice on my talk page, I moved them all here, and keep only the first one on my talk page. Please respect my decision.
I also keep message from talk page of Mr. Stradivarius here, as it also contains reference.
I went as far as welcoming myself to familiarize with templates.

| Thank you for registering! We hope that you find collaborative editing enjoyable. Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia that started in 2001, is free for all to use and edit within the guidelines and principles users have established and adhere to. Many of these principles and guidelines are listed below. Click on the link next to the images for more information. REMEMBER - each policy and/or guideline page has a discussion you can join to ask questions, add input and contribute your voice towards any current policy or guideline change underway! Join the discussion by going to the talkpage of the article. Please take a minute to view a number of quick start pages for an overview of how to work within these guidelines and more information to help you better understand the practices and procedures editors are using. These include: The Newcomers Manual and User:Persian Poet Gal/"How-To" Guide to Wikipedia.
Sometimes new editors become frustrated quickly and find their experience on Wikipedia less than enjoyable. This need not be. If you are having a difficult time for any reason, please feel free to ask me for assistance! | |||

- Hi Malikussaid! Yes, you're welcome to use my user page design. Not least because I originally stole it from User:Jimbo Wales, who used to have the same design but in grey. Let me know if you have any question about optimising it - I might be (might be) able to share something useful. Best — Mr. Stradivarius (have a chat) 00:06, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you. I am still trying to costumize the the userboxes, the top menu, a sectional biography (the long one which I explain myself), and proper links or biography sidebox about how to contact me properly (and the short biography about me). Since I saw you are an Administrator, I would try to not take your precious time managing Wikipedia to answer unimportant question(s) about improving my user page, but since you actually let me ask you, I would gladly ask you upon encontering an issue that I can't find solution about.
- My gratitude,

- For the top menu, we have a neat guide that you can read at Wikipedia:User page design center/Menus and subpages. For the sections in the biography part, just add the following code at the start of a new line:
== YourSectionName == - The other pages in Wikipedia:User page design center should be useful for the rest of your customization. Hope this helps! — Mr. Stradivarius (have a chat) 09:48, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
- Oh yes, and Wikipedia:Cheatsheet is good for learning the basic WikiCode that you will need. — Mr. Stradivarius (have a chat) 09:49, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
