Hello, Secret agent with brown hat, 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 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.

Good luck and happy editing!--Sir James Paul, La gloria è a dio 21:12, 28 May 2007 (UTC)Reply


Thanks- I don't know what the clock is in your country, but here it is now 23:24 and it's really time to sleep for me... zzzzzz :P --Secret agent with brown hat 21:25, 28 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

If you need any help I'll be more than happy to help you out. Have a nice week and god bless.--Sir James Paul, La gloria è a dio 21:37, 28 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Your new articles change

Your recent articles that you have created are missing formatting specific to wikipedia (categories and interwiki links, etc.). Please refer to the manual of style before creating more articles. Also, usually we upload images to Commons and then link to them from there. Thank you. -  BrownE34  talk  contribs  13:31, 29 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Njaa, sceptical...:p I don't think i understand what you mean- could you give me an example of what you miss in my articles? I know that they are not finished- i planned to add a lot more stuff later. --Secret agent with brown hat 20:11, 29 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Your pages Grenade and Donkey kong are both missing Categories and Interwiki links for example. Thanks -  BrownE34  talk  contribs  20:21, 29 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Template:Test3x change

I have deleted your created template, test3x. I don't think we need a vandalism message like that. Please do not create silly templates in the future. Thanks. · Tygartl1·talk· 21:12, 29 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

No, the template you created was an actual template. You may have only been using it in the sandbox, but you also created a separate template outside of the sandbox. Templates should only be used for comments that are going to be said many different times by many different people, like welcome messages, stub templates, and vandalism warnings. Thanks. · Tygartl1·talk· 21:17, 29 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

okay--Secret agent with brown hat 21:20, 29 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

I have replied on my talk page to your question. · Tygartl1·talk· 21:57, 29 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Deleted pictures change

Hello, Secret agent with brown hat, welcome to SipmleWP. Yes, I have deleted the pictures you uploaded. Generally, images should be uploaded to wikimedia commons. They can then be linked from here. These are the reasons we do not like local image uploads.

  • There are many Wikipedia projects. They only need the image once, not once per project (saves space).
  • Images usually have a license tag attached. This says how they can be used or distributed. Our focus here is to create good quality articles in simple English. Therefore we leave the worries about licensing of images to the people at commons. They are better at that than we are. They also like it more than we do.

So please do not upload images here, upload them to commons --Eptalon 20:54, 30 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
