[edit] Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

Here are some other hints and tips:

• I would recommend that you get a username. You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of having a username. (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)
• When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the date.

If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my Talk page, or type {{helpme}} on this talk page and a user will help you as soon as possible. I will answer your questions as far as I can. Again, welcome!

Thank you again for contributing to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 23:17, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Creation of Neanderthals

Please note that there are several conventions regarding the naming of Wikipedia articles. The general principle regarding the names of Wikipedia pages is expressed thus:

Generally, article naming should give priority to what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize, with a reasonable minimum of ambiguity, while at the same time making linking to those articles easy and second nature.

or, alternatively:

Names of Wikipedia articles should be optimized for readers over editors; and for a general audience over specialists.

Several specific guidelines regarding naming of pages (by topic, by title characteristic,...) are listed on this page: Wikipedia:Naming conventions, and in this category: Category:Wikipedia naming conventions.

Additionally, technical guidance regarding Wikipedia page names can be found in: Help:Page name. Related guidance, regarding what happens when two different names should refer to the same article, or when a single name refers to several meanings that each deserve their own article can be found in Wikipedia:Redirect and Wikipedia:Disambiguation. How and when to include a namespace qualifier in a page name is explained in Wikipedia:Namespace.

Guidance on changing page names can be found in: Help:Moving a page. When you're not sure whether renaming a page is appropriate or desirable, please consult Wikipedia:Requested moves. Thanks for collaborating! --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 23:12, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Creation of Eygpt (sic) and Cavemen

The above comments about creation of Neanderthals also apply to creation of Eygpt (sic) and Cavemen. Please do not create separate articles corresponding to misspellings or plural forms of words; instead, use a redirect for such cases. Please read the section What do we use redirects for? and the article Help:Redirect. --Neuromath 01:56, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for experimenting with the page Tazmania on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do.

[edit] Continued creation of inappropriate separate articles in place of redirects

Please refrain from creating inappropriate pages. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox.

The above remarks about Neanderthals, Eygpt (sic), Cavemen, and Tazmania also apply to the following unhelpful new articles you have created in place of existing redirects. All of these separate articles have been reverted to redirects (by me or by other users):

• Aptenodytes forsteri
• Armadillos
• Domestic animals
• Dragons
• Inia geoffrensis
• Komodo dragons
• Kookaburras
• Lemurs
• Loxodonta africana
• Macropus rufus
• Ornithorhynchus anatinus
• Prehistoric
• Xenarthrans

Please be more constructive in editing Wikipedia. —Neuromath 16:56, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Sarcophilus harrisii, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. —Neuromath 05:33, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

You have recently vandalized the Wikipedia article Zoo Tycoon Complete Collection, and you are now being asked to stop this type of behavior. You're welcome to continue editing Wikipedia, so long as these edits are constructive. Please see Wikipedia's Blocking policy and what constitutes vandalism; such actions are not tolerated on Wikipedia, and are not taken lightly.

We hope that you will become a legitimate editor. Again, you are welcome here at Wikipedia, but remember not to vandalize or you will soon be blocked from editing.

If you feel you have received this message in error, it may be because you are using a shared IP address. Nevertheless, repeated vandalism from this address may cause you to be included in any future sanctions such as temporary blocks or bans. To avoid confusion in the future, we invite you to create a user account of your own.

You have already been warned that replacing useful redirects with unhelpful separate pages is not constructive editing. —Neuromath 03:33, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to Syncerus caffer

This is the only warning you will receive.
Your recent vandalism to Syncerus caffer will not be tolerated. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 08:59, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
