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.
Happy Wiki-ing. —Kf4bdy talk contribs

Chinese dialects edit
Hello, I left a message at Talk:List of Chinese dialects. Please respond there. Thanks. Benjwong (talk) 07:08, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
how to rename a page edit
I noticed that you renamed Chinese Six Companies to Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association. I may agree with you on this renaming. However, to respect the former contributors and restore the edit history, please never ever rename a page by cut and paste. Please see Wikipedia's moving policy. If you still like to rename it, please place a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Thank you. --Neo-Jay (talk) 17:50, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Ghost Shadows edit
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Ghost Shadows, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
By the way, I did not propose to delete the article, Mynameisstanley did, but he did not have the courtesy to give notice to you. - Mafia Expert (talk) 22:38, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Lin Sing Association edit
A tag has been placed on Lin Sing Association requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

English links, please edit
Please do not change link text from English to Chinese, or add new links solely in Chinese, as you did on the Hua County disambiguation page. This is the English Wikipedia and links need to be readable to English-speakers. It is fine to add Chinese equivalents for clarity in addition to, but not in place of, the English links. Thank you. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 13:39, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
