- Thank you for your welcome. I'm glad someone is trying to help me. The many rules and help-pages are really confusing. I just made my first "bigger" edit here: Fukuoka City Subway#Fare, I hope I did everything right. At the moment I'm trying to start an English Wiki-Page for this Japanese article: [[1]]
- I took a look at that and some of your other edits and you look like you're doing just fine. :) If you have any specific questions about rules, policies, or just how to do something, always feel free to write me at my talk page. There's a link there to leave a new message. That's the fastest way to get my attention. Some of the policies can be pretty confusing for someone jumping in head-first, so I'm happy to help out with anything. For the most part, they all boil down to one idea, though: do what's good for the encyclopedia. As long as you keep that in mind, and act with good faith, accidentally doing something that policy doesn't like isn't that big of a deal, it's just a learning experience. Everyone makes mistakes, so don't let a confusing policy stop you from making a WP:BOLD edit that you think helps improve an article. ⇔ ∫ÆS dt @ 05:08, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Where can I find an Infobox and how do I use it? I'm looking for the Infobox:Train, like in this article: Osaka Subway 30000 series.I've already found the Template via Google Search. Sorry. The Category:Infobox templates page is really confusing. And am I right, that I can use pictures from other Wikipages, like Japanese, if the License allows me to do it (too many different Licenses for me^^) Thank you for your help. --R0pe-196 (talk) 08:55, 28 October 2008 (UTC)- First: You can look at Template:Infobox Train, which lists all possible variables to be used in its documentation. If you want to add a train similar to Osaka Subway 30000 series, I suggest you just copy everything between {{Infobox Train and }}, paste it into the article you want to create or add it to and then replace all variables with the correct information. Use the "Show preview" button often to check periodically if it looks correctly.
- As for images, if they are released as public domain, then yes, you can upload them here. You should consider uploading them to Wikimedia Commons instead though so all Wikipedias can use this image. Regards SoWhy 11:02, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for the undo and the vigilance Aflin (talk) 14:37, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi there
Not entirely sure what happened here, but he had actually reverted to the correct version. It has been fixed, though. --69.146.230.243 (talk) 05:28, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
- I'm sorry. I tried to revert the vandalism with the Lupin tool Roll back-button, but it seems I'm not used to it yet.. I won't do it again in future. --R0pe-196 (talk) 05:31, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, you needn't apologize. They are kind of a pain to get used to, and everyone does that at some point. --69.146.230.243 (talk) 05:33, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
