Welcome edit
Welcome to Wikipedia! Listed below are some brief introductions containing all the basics needed to use, comment on, and contribute to Wikipedia.
- Main Introduction — What is Wikipedia?
- The Five Pillars — What are the principles behind Wikipedia?
- Wikipedia:A Primer for newcomers — A good starting point.
- Quick Introductions to:
- Policies and guidelines — How does Wikipedia actually work?
- Talk pages — How do I communicate in Wikipedia?
- Referencing — How do I add sources to articles?
- Uploading images — How do I add and use images?
- Navigating Wikipedia — How do I find my way around?
- What Wikipedia is not - even though everyone can edit it, Wikipedia is still an encyclopedia.
If you want to know more about a specific subject, Help:Help explains how to navigate the many help pages.
- Google: Wikipedia is very well indexed by Google. Searching for a term, even about an editing question, followed by "wiki" or "wikipedia" usually pulls up what you need.

Please next time you see a dubious article such as the one I deleted above as vandalism, tag it for speedy deletion instead of prod. Thanks Secret account 05:18, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
Speedy deletion declined: Yoshihiro Narisawa edit
Hello Patrol49, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Yoshihiro Narisawa, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Fifty best is usually an indication of importance. Fifty best in the world pretty unambiguously so. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. ϢereSpielChequers 14:10, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
