Hello Tchoutoye, and welcome to Wikipedia! The first thing you should know is that we encourage you to be bold. Feel free to edit and improve articles, by clicking any 'edit' link.

If you'd like to test what Wikipedia can do, check out the sandbox - just type and save the page and your text will appear. That's the beauty of a Wiki.

For more information check out our tutorial - it's designed with newcomers in mind, as is the help section. If you'd like to get involved with current projects, have a look at the Community Portal. There are always tasks for users to do, ranging from copyediting to expanding stubs.

I hope you'll enjoy your time here, but be warned, it can become addictive! Feel free to message me, I'm more than happy to help. As an added tip, sign any message you post so users know that you've said it. To do so is delightfully simple, just use the wikicode ~~~~.

Once again, welcome!

Re:Apple edit

My apologies. I was doing recent changes patrol and spotted that the section had been deleted, so I reverted without looking at the talk page. Again, sorry.--Rossheth | Talk to me 15:54, 18 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Please use an edit summary when deleting large amounts of text from an article, it will help users who are doing RC patrol know that you are not vandalizing the site. Thank you. KOS | talk 16:07, 18 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

WP:TALK edit

Hi,

Please note that when posting messages on the talk pages, the posts should be in chronological order (newest messages at the bottom) and new users' comments should be indented to differentiate them from previous comments. I have corrected your comments on the apple talk page. More info useful info like this can be found at WP:TALK.

Thanks,

preview feature edit

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thanks again. Debivort 03:31, 11 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
