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: Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 04:48, 21 October 2016 (UTC).

Best of luck, and have fun!

HKWNB, HKCOTW, Current events

Hi. Thanks for your contributions to some Hong Kong-related articles. You might be interested to take a look at HK wikipedians' notice board, HK Collaboration of the Week and Current events in Hong Kong and Macao. Happy editing! — Instantnood 10:11, May 4, 2005 (UTC)

The Departed / Infernal Affairs

At the end of the reactions section it mentions Lau by his last name only. It's ambiguous to whether or not the comment should be attributed to Andy Lau or Andrew Lau...both affliated with the film and mentioned in the section, but not the same person.

Thanks for the translations!

Thank you very much for the translations for the songs in Butterfly Lovers (album)! If you have time, could you also do the same for her other ? You doing so would clear up a huge chunk of the wiki stuff in other languages. Thank you again for translating the Butterfly Lovers' texts! -Yupik 13:02, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Eason Chan.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Eason Chan.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 20:10, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey

Hey Andrew, I was just wondering if you'd be interested in joining a modern Chinese popular music workgroup. Given your work on certain Cantopop articles, it would certainly be an asset. There are just two of us so far, me and Arsonal, but if you'd like to help out, just reply on my talk page. If you want to get an idea of what we're going to be doing, then take a look at this page. Let me know if you have anything to add to that. Pandacomics 20:57, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

The thing's up! Come check it out at WP:CPOP. Pandacomics 08:47, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

RE

Well, one thing you can do is just reverted back. And put a warning on the person. If you need help warning other people, look here: WP:WARN. --Esanchez_{(Talk 2 me or Sign here)} 00:31, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

I mentioned you ... (nicely!) (Simplified/Traditional 2)

I saw your recent changes to Standard_Mandarin#Common_Phrases and wondered about combining columns where the characters are the same. If you follow the links in the talk page discussion you can see an example of what I was thinking about. What do you think? Shenme (talk) 06:31, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Welcome

Please feel free to fix it, I don't speak any Chinese. Epson291 (talk) 10:04, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. 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.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 04:48, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
