Hi, I'm Juliancolton (talk · contribs). I'd like to personally welcome you and thank you for your contributions thus far. As you probably know, Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia collaboratively written entirely by volunteers. If you ever see anything that can be improved—be it correcting a typo or writing a new article—don't be afraid to fix it yourself! Don't worry about making mistakes; one of the many editors will probably notice and quickly correct it. If you have any questions, just place the text {{helpme}} on your talk page, and an administrator will help you shortly. Alternatively, you could join the #wikipedia-en-help IRC channel, where dozens of friendly helpers await. You can find out more about the project here, but I won't bore you with statistics and rules. Just remember to be civil to other editors, to always cite your sources, and to write articles from a neutral point of view, and you should be good to go.
Wikipedia is a huge website; with 6,827,149 articles, it is the single biggest encyclopedia in the world. Additionally, there are thousands of policy and process pages, so it can be a bit overwhelming, even to experienced users. When I was new, I found the Tutorial particularly helpful. You might also want to check out the glossary. This page serves as our library reference desk, where you can ask nearly any question imaginable.
The Featured Articles and Good Article pages are good places to look for some of our most well-written and comprehensive articles. On the other end of the spectrum, we have thousands of articles that require cleanup of some sort, so feel free to help out. In particular, many biographies of living persons need to be sourced properly; while this task can be a bit difficult, it's of a highly important nature.
I hope you've found this advice helpful. Feel free to contact me for more information. –Juliancolton | Talk 05:34, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
I have nominated Archduke Christoph Franz of Austria-Este, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Archduke Christoph Franz of Austria-Este. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 20:51, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
- Note I have also included Archduke Fulvio Marco of Austria-Este and Princess Maria Louise of Brunswick-Lüneburg, two related articles, in the nomination. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 20:51, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

I have opened a sockpuppet investigation against you at WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Knyphausen56, since it appears clear to me that you alternated between editing logged in and logged out in order to obscure your fraudulent activity. I have asked for a checkuser to make use of the information stored by our servers. While you are not blocked, you may comment there if you wish.
