Welcome to Wikipedia!
[edit]Dear AfricaEditor,
Welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:
- Five Pillars of Wikipedia
- Community Portal
- Frequently Asked Questions
- How to edit a page
- How to revert to a previous version of a page
- Tutorial
- Copyrights
- Shortcuts
If you are stuck, and looking for help, 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.
If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator.
One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with two hyphens followed by four tildes --~~~~
. The software that runs Wikipedia will automatically convert this into a signature which contains your username and the date and time you posted the message, so other users don't get confused.
I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself on your userpage, you should start by adding {{User:PEAR/welcomed}}
to your userpage.

Hello AfricaEditor, please refrain from adding the 9/11 conspiracy theory and hiphop music sections to the article Reagan Doctrine. It is unsubstantiated and a hiphop song hardly constitues a reliable reference. Thank you. Kalsermar 17:40, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
- Please refer to my talk page for an answer to your comment so as to keep things in one place. Thank you.--Kalsermar 20:48, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
- Nice working with you on this. It's a pretty good article, I think. AfricaEditor 21:19, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Your removal of stubs
[edit]Hello AfricaEditor. As per your edits to pages like Tito Chingunji, I believe you should read WP:STUBS as it would be beneficial for you to understand what constitutes a stub before you remove them from pages which do not. If you have any questions on this matter, I would be happy to help. Thanks--Thomas.macmillan 03:18, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

The article Bin Laden (song) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Doesn't meet WP:NSONG
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
