Hello Viveka~enwiki, this is Exir Kamalabadi, and I hope that you are having fun with Wikipedia. First of all, welcome to Wikipedia! Find something that can be improved, either in content, grammar or formatting, then fix it. Don't be afraid. Be bold! If you do something wrong, there is always someone who will clean up the mess.
Here are some links that you may find helpful:
- How to edit a page
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- Tutorial
- Manual of Style
- Community Portal. You can get some work over there.
- The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
- What Wikipedia is not
- Wikiquette, the Wikipedian etiquette
Here are also some tips that you might find useful:
- Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes
- Create a User page so that others can know you
- Go to the Village Pump or the Help Desk if you need Wikipedia related help, or the Reference Desk for general questions.
Finally, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page when you need help!

Your edit to Incandescent light bulb
You wrote in your comment,
- "There is no 'citation needed' for [the claim that] a globe of a particular power will emit more light if the glass is clear than it will if the glass is frosted. "
Thank you for this moment of sanity. Too many editors here apparently think that deleting content that needs an inline source about as much as does "two plus two equals four" is just a fine and dandy way for them to "contribute to the encyclopedia." It is not. Jeh ( talk) 00:28, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Viveka. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Viveka~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell

If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: Special:GlobalRenameRequest. -- Keegan (WMF) ( talk)
