Welcome!
Hello, Philip ea, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some links that can help you get started editing:
And for more detailed information:
- Help pages - the instruction manual, contains everything you could possibly want to know
- The five pillars of Wikipedia - our principles, or how to get on with other editors
- Manual of Style - how to format articles, where to place pictures, and other stylistic matters.
All of this information can be daunting, but if you have a question and can't find the answer, you can always ask me on my talk page or go to Wikipedia:Where to ask a question. One last thing: please sign your name when leaving messages for others on article and user talk pages using (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. I hope you enjoy editing! --Malthusian (talk) 22:39, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
You need to add some information to this article - if only who the business is, and a brief note on what makes them interesting - or it may be speedy deleted for being 'empty' (external links aren't really content). See our guide to the perfect stub for more information. --Malthusian (talk) 22:39, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- To: Last_Malthusian. Thanks for the guidance. It is done. ;-) --Philip 22:27, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

editYou may want to note that per WP:DATE, years alone (without month or day) are generally not wikilinked, because they do not need to be formatted. —Mets501talk 14:20, 13 May 2006 (UTC) ok, thanks. Good to know.

- Hi. The quotation you mention is from JRR Tolkien, and not, as often stated, from JRR Tolkein.
Sorry for being meticulous. Perhaps this website might be interesting for you.

Slowly adapting to Wikipedia habits and usance. ;-)
About the Birthday Toast On the 3rd January 1892 JRR Tolkien was born in Bloemfontein, South Africa. To celebrate this event, on this day each year Tolkien fans around the world are invited to raise a glass and toast the birthday of this much loved author.
For those unfamiliar with British toast-drinking ceremonies: To make the Birthday Toast, you stand, raise a glass of your choice of drink (not necessarily alcoholic), and say the words 'The Professor' before taking a sip (or swig, if that's more appropriate for your drink). Sit and enjoy the rest of your drink.
Disclaimer: The organisers do not condone drinking alcohol if it endangers the health or safety of the drinker or others, or contravenes the law.

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Tutelage, by 195.33.105.17 (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Tutelage fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Tutelage, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page.

Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 13:38, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

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.
