Welcome

Hello, Cyrusmilleyhannana, and welcome to the Simple English Wikipedia! I hope you will be happy helping here. You should begin by reading these pages: Wikipedia:Useful, Help:Contents, Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines, and how to write Simple English articles. If you want some ideas of which pages to work on, read Wikipedia:Requested articles or the list of wanted pages. Even though it is a good idea to research an article (like looking at the discussion page) before making large changes, please be bold and try! Any changes you make

Welcome!!!

that are not perfect can be fixed later. We are also working most on core articles and the most common topics until this Wikipedia grows.

If you want to ask a question or talk with other members, you can visit our version of the "village pump" at Wikipedia:Simple talk. Administrators on Wikipedia can also help you with more difficult problems. You can also ask me for help. The best way to do that is to leave a message on my talk page. You should always sign your messages on Talk pages by typing "~~~~" (four tildes) at the end of your words.

If you would like to test Wikipedia, please use the sandbox. Please do not test Wikipedia by editing its articles.

Good luck and happy editing!-- ✧ CM16  22:38, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia

Hello, and Welcome to the Simple English Wikipedia! Allow me to give you the jist of Wikipedia:

Simple English

This is the Simple English wikipedia, like the ordinary English one but using words that are easy to understand.

Simple English is useful for people who are learning English and also children.

Not all editors here use English as their first language, so some may struggle to understand more complex sentences. You should be fine when on talk pages though.

Editing articles

If you see an article you wish to edit, click "change this page" at the top or "[change]" at the side. There are certain rules you should follow when writing to an article:

• Link to other articles: You should include a link to other articles to explain what you mean. If you wanted to link to the Communism article for example, you would type [[Communism]]
• Sometimes though, you might want the link to say something else. Like this. That will still link to the same article, as above, Communism. What you do here is create a piped link by typing [[Communism|this]]
• Next you may want to make text italic or bold. To do this type two apostrophes where you want italics to start, like this: ''This is all in italic text'' and for bold it is three apostrophes like this: '''This is bold text'''

Create a new article

If you go to a page which does not exist, you can write the article yourself. Just click Start this page

Templates

If your article is quite short, add {{Stub}} at the end.

Inter-Wiki Links

Usually it is a good idea to add a link to the same article in another language. To do this, type: [[en:Communism]] - Make sure the article is the same name on the other language. So you would go to the English.wikipedia version and find the article there.

Categories

To make sure we can store and find all the articles, it is a good idea to put them all into categories. To do this, just type [[Category:Politics]] and it will slot your article into the Politics category, which you can view here.

• If you need any other help at all, do not hesitate to ask. You can leave a message for me here, you can leave messages at Simple Talk or on talk pages of other editors. Regards

By the way. I assume you are a fellow Scot? Kennedy ^(talk) 21:51, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
