A belated welcome!

Sorry for the belated welcome, but the cookies are still warm!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Besh Saab. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! jonkerz ♠talk 11:56, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. I've reverted some of your recent Mars-related edits because they fail wikipedia's guidelines for external links at WP:EL. In particular YouTube does not count as a reliable source; and secondly they seem to me to be spammy - of all the videos you might have linked to you chose one that is of marginal relevance and is presented by yourself. andy (talk) 11:21, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

• Hi, Andy. Thank you for taking the time to write to me. I took a look at the guidelines for external links, and yes you are right (obviously), that wikipedia discourages external links to websites that are associated with the person posting the link, and this makes sense. Of course, I only intended to provide interested wikipedia readers with a 3 min video that might help distil some of the most salient reasons for manned missions to Mars, colonization and potentially terraforming. Very likely many wiki users would appreciate the link, but I acknowledge that they can also run a search in Google or YouTube and potentially find the video that way. In the end, I guessed the external link would be soon reverted by another User if deemed inappropriate, and am happy you took the time to contact me directly to discuss it.

Disambiguation link notification for August 30

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mortality rate, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Plague (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
