Hi there Oglahi. Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions, I hope you like it here and stick around.

Before you start doing a lot of editing, you might want to take the Tutorial. It gives a lot of basic info you'll want to get you oriented on Wikipedia.

You can sign your name on talk pages by using three tildes (" ~~~ ") for your username and four (" ~~~~ ") for your username and a timestamp.

If you have any other questions about the project, then check out Wikipedia:Help or feel free to drop me a question on my talk page.

Happy editing, Nebular110 15:07, 27 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Advertising edit

I've not been involved with that page for years, but if you feel the wording is advertising rather than encyclopedic, I suggest you change it. Advertising is not allowed, and where pages are nothing but advertising, they are a candidate for speedy deletion. Angela. 14:32, 25 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Upcoming Wikimedia events in Missouri and Kansas! edit

You're invited to 3 exciting events Wikipedians are planning in your region this June—a tour and meetup at the National Archives in Kansas City, and Wiknics in Wichita and St. Louis:

Kansas City
Saturday, June 16, starting at 9 a.m.National Archives in Kansas City
  • This full-day event will include a tour of the facility; presentations from National Archives Wikipedian-in-Residence, Dominic McDevitt-Parks, and Exhibit Specialist, Dee Harris; and time in the research room to work on projects. The focus of the projects will be scanning, writing articles, transcribing, or categorizing images on Commons.

    Wikipedians from St. Louis and elsewhere in the region are encouraged to make a day-trip of it and come to Kansas City for this special opportunity!


 

And two local editions of the Great American Wiknic, the "picnic anyone can edit." Come meet (and geek out with, if you want) your local Wikipedians in a laid-back atmosphere:

Wichita
Saturday, June 23, starting at 1 p.m. — Central Riverside Park
  • Join the 1st annual Wichita Wiknic: The Sunflower State blooms Free Knowledge!
St. Louis
