Welcome to the Wikipedia

Welcome, newcomer!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:

• First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
• When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
• Learn about some of the Wikipedia landmarks by trying our Wikipedia scavenger hunt!
• Remember to use a neutral point of view!
• If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
• Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:

• Wikipedia:Policy Library
• Wikipedia:Utilities
• Wikipedia:Cite your sources
• Wikipedia:Verifiability
• Wikipedia:Wikiquette
• Wikipedia:Civility
• Wikipedia:Conflict resolution
• Wikipedia:Brilliant prose
• Wikipedia:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
• Wikipedia:Village pump
• Wikipedia:Boilerplate text

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: MetsBot 19:19, 6 January 2007 (UTC).

Best of luck, and have fun!

And another thing

Also, welcome to the WikiProject on Beer! We're just starting out, so there's alot to be done. – ClockworkSoul 12:35, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Much obliged :) I'll adopt Heineken for the week, if that's okay with you... Speaking of which, I'm going to propose something on the project about adopting beers. See you there. --Hooloovoo 12:41, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Introduction page

I reverted the edits that removed the template - unfortunately I went back not far enough and got the spoon language and caused some confusion about the edit you made. HOWEVER; everything that is under the Previous Edits line is fair game for newcomers - and they are free to make changes that are not disparaging or that do not include vulgarities - the page is for them to try editing on. So we don't need to revert them. If you think that a note on viewing a page's history is appropriate on the introduction page you should bring it up on the template's talk page.

Thanks for helping revert the commonly vandalized Introduction page - you may want to sign up under Cleaning department so we can coordinate our efforts. Trödel|talk 22:22, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I've signed up, Trödel. Thanks for the invite to the 'Trash Detail' ;) Hooloovoo 22:56, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The copyvio is likely my mistake. While I never do direct copy/paste, I likely retyped it without at least paraphrasing, probably under the influence of fatigue.

A new version is ready for approval here: ILBC/Temp

Please accept my apologies. --Shaddack 22:59, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Beer Categories

It has been suggested by User:BrianSmithson that the Beer and brewery categories should be renamed. The proposal has been supported by User:Syrthiss, and supported and expanded by myself. The notion is that the regional categories should follow the format of "Beer and breweries in Africa" /Europe/Asia/North America/South America/Oceania. "Brewers and breweries" could also be renamed "Beer and breweries by region". And all the countries should also be renamed (and merged if needed) as, for example, "Beer and breweries of Germany", "Beer and breweries of Britain", "Beer and breweries of Poland". The word in each case would be beer rather than beers to allow for general articles on beer culture in each region as well as individual beers.
