Welcome

Hello! I noticed that you may have come here from another Wikipedia, so you know a little about how things work here. I hope you like it here and decide to stay! Here are some links to help you adjust:

• An English Wikipedian's guide
• Writing in Simple English
• Where to ask questions and discuss things
• How to copy from another Wikipedia

There's a lot to do here. Most of it is writing articles that do not exist yet, which you can do by translating from other Wikipedias, but have a look around and see what you want to do. Thanks for joining us, and you know how to contact me if you need any help. Zhangj1079 (Saluton!) 16:00, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

Zhangj1079: Hi (and sal! ;))! Thank you for welcoming me. It seems according to your user page that you might not be available right now? Ĉu vi eble parolas esperanton? :)

It's correct, I do have previous Wikipedia experience :) Came here with the thought that if I wanted to do something on Wikipedia that is internationally beneficial, then perhaps this would be the best place to be. I mean, simple English might perhaps be one of the closest things we have to an international auxililary language/help language...

I appreciate the non-bot welcoming.. :) 786r (talk) 18:15, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

Well, yeah. I'm actually on break, though since I had a free weekend I could edit (or as we say here, "change"). And yes, I can speak Esperanto, though only a little bit (I'm still learning). As for the Simple English Wikipedia, I think the description of "international auxiliary language" is a bit generous, though we are trying to help people learning English here.

Regarding the bot welcomes you might see in other wikis, here at Simple we don't usually do bot welcomes. They're all done by human editors.

I hope to see you around editing more! Happy changing! :) Zhangj1079 (Saluton!) 18:24, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
