Some pointers
[edit]Hello! I would just like to point you to an official Wikipedia guideline and an official Wikipedia policy:
- The guideline is Wikipedia:Signatures, which states that you should keep your signature fairly short. Yours
- More importantly, a policy you should be aware of is Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a soapbox. It is fine to state your religious beliefs on your userpage—you may also want to join one of the WikiProjects listed here and add Category:Christian Wikipedians to your userpage to help connect with other Christian users—but putting a long profession of your faith is probably going to cause you trouble soon enough.
I also recommend removing your story from your userpage, if you want to retain the rights to your work. When you post something on Wikipedia you have agreed to release it under the GNU Free Documentation License, so that anyone can take it and make money off it! − Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 08:24, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
thank you for telling me these things. They all came as a surprise to me- shows how new, inexperienced, and immature I am. (that's why I want to be adopted!):D I'm very, very sorry and I will take your advice on everything. Thank you again!

Motto of the day
[edit]Hello, I notice you're using one of the {{motd}} templates, run by Wikipedia:Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help.
When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this.
If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing! Hersfold (t/a/c) 03:42, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
Motto of the Day Help Request April 2014
[edit]Motto of the Day (WP:MOTD) is in a state of emergency and really needs your help! There are not enough editors who are reviewing or nominating mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review, and this probably means that you will notice a red link or “This space for rent” as our mottos for the next weeks and months.
Please take a moment to review the nominations and nominate your own new mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review and Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/'Specials. Any help would be appreciated! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 09:13, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
- This message has been sent by pjoef on behalf of Motto of the Day to all editors of the English Wikipedia who are showing MOTD's templates on their pages, and to all the participants to MOTD: (page, template, and category).
