Welcome!

Hello, Prsnys! Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. You may benefit from following some of the links below, which will help you get the most out of Wikipedia. If you have any questions you can ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Please remember to sign your name on talk pages by clicking or by typing four tildes "~~~~"; this will automatically produce your name and the date.

March 2015[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm Quinto Simmaco. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Ananda Marga without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. I wasn't actually the one who reverted your edits, but I agree. In the future, you need to explain blanking of entire sections, and removal of long-standing sourced material.

Hello, Prsnys. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm Quinto Simmaco, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.
Some pages of helpful information to get you started:

  How to edit a page
  Simplified Manual of Style
  The basics of Wikicode
  How to develop an article
  How to create an article

  What Wikipedia is not
Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:
  Do be bold
  Do assume good faith
  Do be civil
  Do keep cool!
  Do maintain a neutral point of view
  Don't spam
  Don't infringe copyright
  Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest
  Don't commit vandalism
  Don't get blocked
If you need further help, you can:
  Ask a question
or you can:
  Get help at the Teahouse
or even:
  Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
  Fight vandalism
  Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
  Help contribute to articles
           
  Perform maintenance tasks
  Become a member of a project that interests you
  Help design new templates

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Prsnys, I'll address everything you said on my talk page shortly, when I'm a bit more freed up. In the meantime, here's a slightly easier to navigate welcome menu with things relevant to getting started in Wikipedia. You should especially check out "What Wikipedia is not", and this link here on conflict of interest issues. You can still edit those articles with which you have a close association, but just follow the guidelines there. :) Also, while there's a more detailed editing tutorial in the welcome menu (on the lefthand side), I'll post a more basic one below this comment. I'll also leave you a message here when I respond to your individual questions on my talkpage. :) Happy editing, and welcome to Wikipedia. Quinto Simmaco (talk) 11:06, 21 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
