Welcome! edit

Hi, Nyikita, 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. 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.


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.
  • 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. edit

Hi, sorry about the rude people who keep trying to remove your picture. If they continue to remove it I will ask Jimbo Wales to intervene. Regards Arniep 00:18, 28 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks! edit

Thanks for your kind words on my talk page. Excellent photographs, by the way. Nach0king 09:41, 4 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

szia edit

Thanks for the kind note. Im not on the Magyar Wiki. You have some very nice pics! I especially like the one of Orbán Viktor & co. in 1997 surreptitiously checking their watches - perhaps wondering if he had time for a quick shave before becoming PM. Im sure you have a lot of stories. ;-) You also look familiar... And you may be the only "ex-photographer" Ive run across - what on Earth could cause one to stop being a photographer? ("having kids" would only lead to being more of one) Once you have the talent, why stop? Istvan 19:16, 30 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Can't believe you don't have one of these yet edit
