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!
• 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:Pages needing attention
• Wikipedia:Peer review
• 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: ~~~~.

Best of luck, and have fun!

You've requested a translation of the Danish article on Heinrich Christian Friedrich Schumacher and I will produce this as soon as I have a chance. Just letting you know this request will not be ignored.--Mike 08:58, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Butterflies

Hi, I have made some butterfly images and used them in List of butterflies of the Indian subcontinent. Unfortunately I made a mistake and didnt put them in the commons. Please feel free to use them. Shyamal 04:17, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Redirect syntax

A quick note: the syntax of a redirect looks like this:

#REDIRECT [[page to redirect to]]

I've fixed United States National Academy of Engineering for you. --ais523 12:44, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Charles & Robert Swinhoe

Hi Valérie. I have no explanation for this. I've got sources for Robert's date of birth but not Charles's. Have you got access to any of Charles's obituaries? I'll have a look this evening to see where I read that they were brothers. Smallweed 12:29, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

May be, I will make a research in the Bibliothèque centrale of Muséum national d'histoire naturelle in few days. Today all Wikipédias are in the error.--Valérie75 12:53, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Barbara and Richard Mearns refer to them as brothers in "Biographies for Birdwatchers" and "The Bird Collectors". Their reference is Charles' obituary in The Ibis 1924 pp. 362-3. Smallweed 09:29, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Valerie, thanks for pointing out. Very interesting. Will see if I can find any of the original sources. cheers. Shyamal 10:39, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Coslett Herbert Waddell

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'll look into it as soon as possible. While checking you out, I saw that you are interested in "l'histoire des femmes scientifiques". A while ago I wrote a short biography of Alice Pruvot-Fol, a French opisthobranch malacologist, who was a leading lady ("une grande dame") in her branch of science (she can be compared in a way with Marie Curie). You might be interested in translating this article into French. There was so little to be found about her personal life. I even sent an email to the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco to obtain some more information, but got no answer. You might be luckier and perhaps be able to consult the references I gave in the article. JoJan 16:00, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Look over here though. Extremely sexy 20:35, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Translation

Perhaps you could also translate another biography I wrote : Johannes Jacobus Smith, an important botanist. JoJan 13:08, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

fr:Johannes Jacobus Smith, regards ! :) --Valérie75 14:42, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Hi Valérie, thank you for the attention to M. James Sowerby. Pardon moi, I can not write in the French language. Merci beaucoup, Fred ☻ 22:59, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Original Barnstar
	Bonjour, j'apprécie le graphe de la population du Rwanda que tu as créé. J'aimerais utiliser le Rwanda comme un exemple de croissance exponentielle dans mon cours de maths (3è). Quelle source de données as-tu utilisé? Serait-il possible d'avoir les données du graphe sous forme de table? Si oui, cela serait extrêmement utile. Merci!

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.
