Welcome to Simple.
Some helpful pages to start from are Wikipedia:Useful, Help:Contents and Wikipedia:Policy. If you want some ideas of which pages to work on, see the Community Portal. That page also has the latest news about this Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian.

Pictures[change source]
I see you're adding a lot of pictures lately. I would never want to discourage your contributions, but populating Wikipedia:Basic English picture wordlist is of a fairly low priority for a couple of reasons.
- We need a lot more work on the articles themselves, and the picture list can be populated over time.
- Images eventually will all come from the Wikimedia Commons, a project specifically designed for storing images that all Wikipedia's can use.
I would suggest, if you want to contribute pictures, contribute them to the Commons. If you still want to upload pictures here on Simple:, then I would ask you to name them more descriptively. There is no need to use the default names that were created for the word list, unless your picture can be considered a definitive image of the subject. -- Netoholic @ 05:19, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Logo[change source]
Replied on Wikipedia:Simple talk#Logo. Logo must be no taller than 155px, and the background has to be transparent, not white. -- Netoholic @ 01:30, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- GIF won't work, it has to be PNG. -- Netoholic

Hi, thanks for your editing of my article of male; I made some additions to the article for Nazi; care to look? I am a Bulgarian living in Washington (sort of like an Englishman in New York:))
Your account will be renamed[change source]
Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Saintswithin. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Saintswithin~simplewiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
