Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Sputnik-de! My name is Ryan, aka Acetic Acid. I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:
- How to edit a page
- Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk Pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? :)
I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a nice day. Sincerely, Ryan 10:36, August 6, 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for your warm greetings, Ryan! I am more often in the german Wikipedia and I am often shy to write in english... Anyway: Nice to met you - and thanks that you began this page! :-) --Sputnik(.de) 11:20, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
- You're welcome. I recommend you put a Babel up on your user page, so others know you speak German. Ryan 11:22, August 6, 2005 (UTC)
Because I am more often in the german Wikipedia, maybe it would be clever to contact me here: de:Benutzer_Diskussion:Sputnik
