Hi Fafas, and welcome to Simple English Wikipedia!

Welcome to 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.

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.

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

Good luck, and have fun. -- Lights  talk  00:38, 14 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Edit summaries change

Everyone forgets sometimes, but do you think that you could write a short edit summary that describes exactly what it is that you are changing on a page? If you could, that would help other editors better understand exactly what it is that you are changing, so that they can be of more assistance to this site. If you have trouble writing in an edit summary, there is an option under My Settings that will enable Wikipedia to prompt you if you are entering in a blank edit summary. Thank you and great job on the Simple English Wikipedia so far! Cheers, Razorflame 16:59, 3 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Simple News News

We Are One! Simple News is now One Year Old, and we would like to thank all of the Simple English Wikipedia contributors who have helped with it during this time. As we move into our second year please continue to send in your contributions, and let's try to develop Simple News further!

On that note, please do continue to submit articles, QandAs and the like. You may have noticed that recent Issues have been fairly bare - and the only way that will change will be with your help.

Thank You!

Goblin, On Behalf of the Simple News Team. 15:17, 24 November 2009 (UTC) I ♥ Fr33kman!Reply
