Hello there, - in most cases the first note a new user receives on his/her talk-page is usually a welcoming note. Unfortunately I will not be able to do that in your own talk-page since, I have noticed your contributions in Talk:Egyptian Arabic and I must point your attention to several facts here:
There are certain Policies and guidelines that govern the behaviour and activity of users in Wikipedia; these policies and guidelines are necessary and they apply to absolutely everyone wanting to be part of the Wikipedia community or to contribute constructively. One such policy is: No personal attacks, and it is one of the most important policies in Wikipeida. There could be bad consequences of ignoring this and other guidelines.
While sometimes you've been able to contribute in Talk:Egyptian Arabic with useful ideas, I'm afraid that you've been recurrently resolving to "personal attacks" against those who disagree with you in opinion. I am referring particularly to your last contribution which I had to remove because of the personal attacks in it. I must ask you to try to avoid personal attacks since eventually you might be blocked from contributing anymore, and, more importantly, it makes Wikipedia an unfriendly place where people hurt each other more than improve the encyclopedia itself. Wikipedia is not the place where contributors add their personal point of view. Non of this is being said to hold you back from contributing further - on the contrary, this is said so that you now may contribute more constructively and in a civilised manner according to the friendly and respectful spirit of Wikipeida. The community should be able to appreciate your contributions at all times, as long as they do not involve unfriendliness and hurting other people.
Along with links in the body of the text above, the following are some links which I think might be very helpful to you at all times in the future as you continue contributing to Wikipedia:
Wikipedia:Staying cool when the editing gets hot, Wikipedia:Assume good faith, Wikipedia:Etiquette, Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers, Criticism is Feedback, Forgive & Forget, Principle of Constant Respect, Megalomaniacal point of view, and Don't be a dick.
Finally, feel free to resubmit your last edit in Talk:Egyptian Arabic after removing personal attacks from it. (i.e. there is no need to call others Mr. Smart and call their thoughts "silly"!) paying attention to some or all of the links above will be of great help so as to direct you in your further edits.
Welcome to Wikipedia and have a great time transforming and improving that great project.
