I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian. Although we all make mistakes, please keep in mind what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or problems, leave me a message on my talk page, and I'll try my best to help. Otherwise, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.
We hope you stick around, and make sure you enjoy yourself! Cheers, — riana_dzasta • t • c • e • ER • 03:10, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Redlinks
Regarding your question on redlinks – no, they do not necessarily need to be removed. However, if you like, before adding links, do a Search for the term in question; it may link you to a relevant page. Redlinks aren't bad, they just highlight information that's still needed. If you leave a redlink, someone will eventually come along and write an article about it, or link it to something close enough.
I hope that helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask me on my talkpage. Regards, — riana_dzasta • t • c • e • ER • 03:30, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] RE: helpme
Original Question: As im new, i was just wondering wether the links which do not link anywhere should be removed or not?
Hi! Welcome to Wikipedia once again. The links that do not link anywhere, and which appear red, should not be removed from Wikipedia. The reason for this is that users can create the articles that these links link to, and in the process, make the encyclopedia bigger. --Ali K 03:32, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] helpme answer
Thanks! It was really simple after all :-) Jean-Philippe 04:13, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Helpme tag
for my user page, is there a list of the tags which give specified wiki-boxes. e.g "This user is a native speaker of english" and that stuff?
- You can find out about them at WP:BABEL. And for future reference, you should put {{helpme}} tags on your talk page. --JD don't talk email me 20:25, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Album cover
Hi there.
What you want to do is go to "Upload file" on the left in your toolbox. Next, find the source on your computer. Now rename the title, for example "Elvis is dead cover.jpg". Use {{albumcover}} as the summary, and select the album cover for fair use reasoning. Happy editing to you, let me know if you have any problems! Teke 05:45, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] help
sorry, seeing as this isnt really urgent, but where do i go about finding a 'skin' for my usertalk page? is there such a place to find these?
- I'm not aware of a central collection of them. Most people seem to find one they like and copy it from the page it is on, the tweak it to meet their own requirements. --pgk(talk) 23:19, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Helpme request
How do i go about linking to a wikitionary definition?
- The interwiki prefix for Wiktionary is wikt:, for example [[wikt:today]] produces wikt:today. The individual language prefixes for interwiki links also work (for example, wikt:en:blah) :) Luna Santin 09:11, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Helpme request
sorry to be full of questions, but is there an easy way for a little box which says how man y edits i've made, and where i have made them etC?
- No need to put {{helpme}} on your userpage you can (and probably should) place them right here on your talk page. To answer your question edit counts aren't a built in feature of the mediawiki software, so no there isn't an easy way to do this. --pgk(talk) 10:52, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] new skin for the old ceremony
Hi there. What skin do you mean? Do you mean the look of my user page? Or is it some other skin you mean? //Halibutt 11:21, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, but I can't help you much. Just copy the text from my user page to some sub-page in your user space (for instance User:L Trezise/page), save it, and then edit it to your liking, replacing my texts and images with yours. I'm no expert on html tables and the framework of my user page has been more or less copied from User:Blankfaze who created it. I merely adapted it to my needs. //Halibutt 11:54, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] congratulations
Congratulations on your progress with the "Progress" disambiguation links. (Notice that I did NOT make the word progress a link. Aren't you grateful?) --Sean Lotz 12:54, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Thanks
Awww, thanks so much. :) I'm bad at accepting and replying to compliments (very bad) and always say something really awkward. But I should at least let you know that I appreciate it. Keep up the good work, yourself. :) Luna Santin 05:05, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] File download mystery
Thanks so much for explaining. I appreciate all the help; and as I'm still figuring stuff out here, every little bit of information helps. Thanks again.—Chidom talk 07:22, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
