Welcome!

Some cookies to welcome you!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Spinrad! I am Marek69 and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Hi, I am a newbie in Wikipedia and my primary project is to upload hundreds of pictures, which I’ve taken through my travels around the world, and, when appropriate, to link them to the corresponding articles. You have removed a picture I’ve put in the article of Melbourne and I’d like to ask the reason of removing it in order to avoid the same mistake in the future.
thanks Entropy1963 (talk) 16:01, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Put it back in if you want, just use a more appropriate caption. Spinrad (talk) 21:39, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia Meetup

Hi there,

There will be an informal Wikipedia/Wikimedia meetup at 10.00am, Saturday 8th of September 2012 at Infusion Bar & Cafe' by Vanidol, 361A Macquarie street, South Hobart, Tasmania.

You are invited! Please consider coming along, and let me know if you are intending to. Email me if you would like my contact details, or to be added to a Facebook event.

Isaac Manz, Charles Gregory and I will definitely be attending, but it'd be great if we could get as many people as possible. JJ Harrison (talk) 05:14, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Update

Hi. Just wanted to let you know that there is a formal interaction ban in place between Pete/Skyring and me. I won't be commenting in that thread he began called "About time we talked about the name again". Thanks for your help on the whole broader topic. HiLo48 (talk) 06:10, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Changed Pokemon Red image

Hello. Why did you change the image? The color palette does not represent the game accurately, which is why I changed it in the first place. Dino10 (talk) 20:41, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
