Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or sock puppetry
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.

Hello Wikiedit!

Thank you for your recent contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your edit to any article, please provide an edit summary. So far you have not done so, for example, The Godfather (film). Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit, and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism. It is also helpful to other users reading the edit history of the page.

With kind regards,

• Ok. I'm just not good enough to speak English, sorry. --Wikiedit2012a (talk) 20:03, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Please do not worry about it. You are able to read English well enough. Are you Russian? If you would like a "buddy" to assist, I should be happy to fill the role. With kind regards, Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 21:58, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Yes, right in guessing. I am Russian, and normal reading in English. I write badly. :) Rules of Wikipedia I know, in the Russian Wikipedia for about 4 years ... Thank you for your kind words. --Wikiedit2012a (talk) 22:56, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

You are very welcome.

I had not realised that Russia has had Wikipedia for four years. I had believed it to be only months (i.e. less than a year).

Do you support Russia's Rugby Union team? Kingsley Jones, a Welshman, is the head coach of Russia. He was appointed in February 2011, leading them to the 2011 World Cup. I am Welsh. Gareth Griffith-Jones Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 10:41, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
