If you wish a timely response, it is best to leave messages on my talk page here. If you do, please mention that you are contacting me from simpleWikipedia. Thanks. Tim Ross (talk) 22:14, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]



Hello, Tim Ross, 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.

If you would like to test Wikipedia, please use the sandbox. Please do not test Wikipedia by editing its articles.

Good luck and happy editing! Majorly (talk) 00:32, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sandbox[change source]

Instead of making your sandbox in your user talk page, I would like to suggest that you make it by clicking this link: User:Tim Ross/Sandbox. That way, you don't have to use your user talk page for it where other people would post if they need to get a hold of you. Cheers, Razorflame 13:21, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Of course! I just wasn't thinking. Thanks. Tim Ross (talk) 13:42, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Not a problem! Cheers, Razorflame 13:45, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

External links[change source]

Everybody forgets sometimes, but here we use "Other websites" instead of the "External links" header that the English Wikipedia uses. Can you please remember to use Other websites in the articles that you create in the future instead of External links? Thanks for your help!Razorflame 16:16, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a thorough, if slow, learner, Razorflame. Thanks for the advice, which I will work hard to remember. Sorry I hadn't already picked up on that difference. Tim Ross (talk) 21:00, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Not a problem. I was just making sure that you knew some of the quirks of the Simple English Wikipedia. Cheers, Razorflame 13:51, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Creating new articles[change source]

Hello, and welcome to our small project. When you create articles, do ont forget to add an interwiki link (to another language wikipedia, such as English), and perhaps {{stub}}. A category is also nice to have, add {{uncat}} if you don't know. Otherwise, have fun editing here. --Eptalon (talk) 17:53, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the advice, Eptalon. I'll make sure to remember those points (and have gone back to touch up some of my earlier work). Tim Ross (talk) 21:22, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
