Hello, Beefball, and welcome to the Simple English Wikipedia!
Remember to be bold and edit any pages you want! Any changes you make that are not perfect can be fixed later. If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Simple talk. You should always sign your messages on Talk pages by typing "~~~~" (four tildes) at the end of your words.
Unfortunately, installation of popups on this wiki doesn't work using the template. It is installed as a gadget, however, so you can activate it directly from your preferences page. Cheers, ChenzwTalk11:47, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to thank you for your kind words when I retired. I have now returned.
So I retired because I thought I was a bother. But because of your words Beefball I have returned and I thank you with this which you can redeem for a barnstar and again THANK YOU! ThePageChanger!
As a side note, I know that you are quite new to the Simple English Wikipedia, and other editors on this site know that I am the person who is writing all of the Romanian Rivers articles on here and they know not to help me out because I like working at my own pace, but since you are quite new to this site, I would just like to ask if you could please allow me to work at my own pace creating the Romanian River articles. It is a project that I have started working on back in March or so of this year, and I am still working on it, so if you could please allow me to work on it at my own pace and not create any Romanian River articles, that would be much appreciated. Thank you for understanding. Cheers, Razorflame19:14, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Welcome to Wikipedia.

Sorry, I deleted the infobox template in the MRT Singapore article before you created the template. I see you have created the template, so I reverted my change and put the infobox back. Sorry. Minor or Prime08:28, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Can you design the infobox such that there can be a picture in it? Then we can merge the map picture into it. Thanks, I'm not very good with the tools. Minor or Prime08:35, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Templates
When you make a new article try to fix the problems yourself rather than just putting a template. If you really can't then fine, but it does make it easier. Cheers. F SM17:28, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
RyanCross' RfA thanks
Hello. I thank you for your support in my request for adminship. It was closed as successful. I am honored and thankful for the trust you have in me and for the new position you have helped place me in as an administrator. I will do my very best as an administrator for Simple English Wikipedia, and I promise I'll do all I can to the best of my abilities. If you need any help at all or if you need my assistance, feel free to drop a message on my talk page. I'll see if I can be of help. Again, thank you. I appreciate it very much.
Can you please take a look @ this article Embedded system, It is one of the highly rated articles in all Wikipedias, I did my best to include all important sections, more shrinking will decrease value! but still needs simplifications; Keeping on terminologies.
Can you please take a round? Best Regards && Good Luck Puttyschool (talk) 18:00, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

QandA
The QandA. Every month, Kennedy will interview one of Simple English Wikipedia's editors, asking them about themselves, and their opinions on Wikipedia. It is an exciting insight behind the anonymous face of an online username. Las month we debuted with Microchip08. Due up next was Shapiros10 but due to uncontrollable circumstances we have had to postpone this to next month. Instead, Bluegoblin7 takes the reigns and interviews Gwib, who kindly volunteered to keep the section in this issue. Click for his interview:
Beefball, I hope that you have a very Merry Christmas 2008, and that Santa brings you everything you want :P. If you are going away anywhere, have a great time, and whatever else you do I really hope you enjoy it!
Hello Beefball. We have come to a conclusion after dicussing the way points should be counted. You must make a page were you keep record of your edits. It should look like this and it should be called user:Beefball/Wikicup Edit Count. It will be checked by our judges to make sure there is no cheating. If we find that there was a very large margin of error, you will be disqualified. Remember, any edit which does not figure on this page will not be counted in your final score. Thank you for your attention.
Hello Beefball. You may stop updating your wikicup edit count (unless told otherwise by a judge) as it will be done by a judge from now on. Thank you, Yotbot (talk) 21:54, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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.
