Welcome to Wikipedia!!! edit

Hi, Bengurion, Welcome to Wikipedia!  

I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the Five pillars of Wikipedia and simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will be by to help you shortly.

Additional tips edit

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Five will get you the datestamp only.
  • You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
  • If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
  • If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Reference desk edit

Please do not ask nonsensical questions at the help desk--it is considered vandalism. If you want to ask a question, that's fine, but make sure that you a) have done research, and b) believe the question is answerable by others. AdamBiswanger1 17:40, 15 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

I have a feeling you are trying to flood the reference desk with obscure or difficult questions for your own amusement. Please limit your questions, and research first. If not, it will be considered vandalism, the most likely outcome of which is blocking AdamBiswanger1 18:02, 15 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks edit

I have to ask why, on the list of presidents previous occupations have you put some British Prime ministers on there. this is a nonsense table at the moment. if you could make the table in to just presidents or Prime Ministers (as the article title suggests it would be greatly appreciated. thank you.
