Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. We as a community are glad to have you and thank you for creating a user account! Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions

- If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Wikipedia:Topical index.
Yes some of the links appear a bit boring at first, but they are VERY helpful if you ever take the time to read them.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, please be sure to sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes (Redwolf24 02:24, 10 July 2005 (UTC)) to produce your name and the current date, or three tildes (Redwolf24) for just your name. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome.

P.S. I like messages :-P
[edit] Re: =
Anything you contribute while not signed in you won't receive credit for. Next time when you login click remember me. Don't worry about losing just 1 or 2 edits though. I'm at 800 edits though I've lost perhap 20 as an IP address, no big deal. :) Oh and PLEASE sign with the four ~'s, rather than saying -V. Thanks :) Redwolf24 02:31, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Bennett
Please be advised that as RB Bennett did not become a viscount until after he was Prime Minister (and Tory leader) he should not be listed as Viscount Bennett in the historical list of Tory leaders as this suggests he was a viscount while in office. (Similarly, in the list of UK Prime Ministers, we do not list Lady Thatcher, Sir Edward Heath. Lord Wilson etc as these were not their titles while in office). We should try to avoid granting titles retroactively (similarly, in the Nickle Resolution article, it was Edward Heath who was UK Prime Minister, not Sir Edward Heath).

[edit] List of country names in various languages under attack !!!
Dear Vancouveriensis,
The List of country names in various languages, List of European regions with alternative names, List of European cities with alternative names, List of European rivers with alternative names, and others, have come under attack by a certain Mikka, who, having just stumbled into all these lists, having found them of little use to himself, and having repeatedly ridiculed them and their users, has then promptly filed a petition to delete the lists in question.
Please cast your vote to keep these valuable, informative, and indeed fascinating lists at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of country names in various languages.
Thanks! 69.25.77.51 16:48, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
