Welcome to Wikipedia
Hello, Halo2 Gamer, and welcome to Wikipedia! Wikipedia is one of the world's fastest growing internet sites. We aim to build the biggest and most comprehensive encyclopaedia in the world. To date we have over four million articles in a host of languages. The English language Wikipedia alone has over one million articles! But we still need more! Please feel free to contribute your knowledge and expertise to our site.
If you need help see:
Here are a few more good links for newcomers:
We hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using three tildes (~~~), or four (~~~~) if you want date stamp; this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.
Welcome to the project! We will certainly welcome any contributions you can make, voluntary or not. One thing in particular is now open for discussion. There is a new discussion at Wikipedia:WikiProject South Dakota/Assessment/Top-importance articles where I am hoping we will be able to decide which of the articles which fall within the scope of the project should be officially counted as being of "top-importance" to the project. Any and all comments are welcome. And, again, if you ever have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Again, welcome! Badbilltucker 18:12, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

I am sorry that you have a problem with me, but ust because you have to work on this for a class does not give you the right to violate the rules of wikipedia when it comes to writing articles. Spiesr 23:35, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
While I understand your frustration, your edits are being reverted because (a) they are not properly cited, (b) they are introducing non-encyclopedic information into the article, and (c) some of it appears to violate copyright. I'd suggest you consult Article development and the Manual of Style for advice on how to make constructive edits to Wikipedia articles. Nearly all of the material introduced by you and your fellow NSU students adds to the value of the Aberdeen article. However, Wikipedia has standards on how external material is to be incorporated into Wikipedia articles, and if these standards are not followed, your contributions will be edited, class project or not.

[edit] After writing an articlee
It is advisable to make sure it is on your watchlist, and then check your watchlist about every other day. If your edits are not accepted it is perfectly in order to ask for an explanation and advice on the article's talk page. DGG 19:03, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
