Hi Ratzer, and a warm welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Wikipedia? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!
- Editing tutorial, learn to have fun with Wikipedia.
- Picture tutorial, instructions on uploading images.
- How to write a great article, to make it an featured article status.
- Manual of Style, how articles should be written.
Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :
Oh yes, don't forget to sign when you write on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments. And finally, if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Once again, welcome! =)

Hi there - copying and pasting page contents isn't the preferred way of moving an article, as it splits the article history between two pages. The correct way is to use the "move" function, or if that's not available (because you're a new user), you can request page moves at Wikipedia:Requested moves.

Thanks for all your great work at Isla Sala-y-Gómez. The article has been vastly improved in the past couple days. Tomer TALK 20:52, July 18, 2005 (UTC)
I'm not subscribed to the newspaper El Mundo online, so I can't send you the text, sorry. I just read the article when I bought the newspaper some time ago and I suppose somehow I got to the article online or it wasn't protected or something.
I did find the same photo with the data in the website of the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, here: http://www.corriere.it/gallery/Esteri/2005/05_Maggio/sindaco/1/SINDACO1.jpg
The corresponding article (in Italian) is here: http://www.corriere.it/Primo_Piano/Esteri/2005/05_Maggio/20/okinotorishima.shtml . I hope this info has been useful.
Sorry for taking so long. I don't really use Hotmail anymore... Sabbut 14:25, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
Hi, please use edit summaries. They help everyone. Short is fine, just be reasonably descriptive. Thanks - Taxman Talk 14:43, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
Great work on that article. It's improved immensely...takes me back to Isla Sala-y-Gómez... . Tomer TALK 03:48, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi,
I just spotted your recent comment in my 'units of area' archive. Thank you for reading through the discussion page. I will respond to your comments now.
Those are just my thoughts. Thanks for discussing it with me. Bobblewik 13:24, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
There seems to be a grammar mistake or garble in the following:
The island belongs to the city of Mayaguez, barrio of Mona Island.
Also, this and some of your other islands seems to me to be bordering on qualifying for deletion as not notable, but I'm not too familiar with the rules as they apply to physical geography. Maybe merge all of them into one article.
