I'm
Surya, and I noticed that you're new/you've been here a while, but no-one's welcomed you yet, so I thought I'd drop you a note. We do have a lot of users, and are currently working on 6,852,150 articles, so things can be a little intimidating... but don't worry! We love to help out, and we'll try our best to make your stay here as comfortable as possible.
Here are a few links I found useful when I first arrived here:-
You should sign your name on talk pages, discussions and votes by typing ~~~~; our software automatically converts it to your username and the date. Also, if you don't want to jump right into editing articles right now, why not check out the
sandbox? Feel free to make test edits there.
I know it's a lot of information, but there are two more things I recommend you take note of while editing Wikipedia - cite references wherever possible, and avoid allowing personal biases interfere with your editing.
I hope you enjoy editing and being a
Wikipedian - I definitely do. 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, Surya Cyberoid X 19:38, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome your help to create new content, but your recent additions (such as 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA)) are considered nonsense. Please refrain from creating nonsense articles. If you want to test things out, edit the sandbox instead. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Gilesbennett 19:12, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Please do not introduce any form of
vandalism to the
userpages of other users, as you did to
user:gilesbennett. Thank you.
If you have a problem with an edit I have made, or a page I have recommended for speedy deletion, then please use the tools available to you to debate that edit. Leave a message for me on my talk page, or add a hangon tag to the page concerned and debate the deletion. Please don't leave abusive and unhelpful comments on my user page.

Hello, this is a message from
an automated bot. A tag has been placed on
Prediction of euro 2008, by
Fredrick day, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be
speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because
Prediction of euro 2008 fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting
Prediction of euro 2008, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate
