A welcome from Sputnik

Hi, Klaam, Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, bonjour, salut, privyet, konichiwa, shalom, hola, salve, sala'am, bonjourno, and hi! I'm Sputnik. I noticed that you were new and/or have yet to receive any messages so I just thought I'd pop in to say "hello". We're glad to have you in our community! I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it's so big but we won't bite so Be Bold and get what you know down in microchips! If you do make a mistake, that's fine, we'll assume good faith and just correct you: it'll take a few seconds maximum! I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Though we all make goofy mistakes, here is what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful. If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you. Here are a few links to get you started:

• Always sign your posts on talk pages! That way, others will know who left which comments. You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
• The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
• Simplified Ruleset
• How to edit a page
• Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style
• Wikipedia Glossary

And remember:

• Be Bold!,
• Don't let grumpy users scare you off.,
• Learn from others,
• Play nicely with others, and
• Contribute, Contribute, Contribute!.

• If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
• If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

• P.S. I'm happy to help new users. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you need help with anything or simply wish to say hello. :)

Happy Wiki-ing!

Anti-Sinonism

Hey Klaam! Really hate undoing people's work, but we already have a page, Sinophobia, which describes what you placed under Anti-Sinonism. I redirected all your redirects to Sinophobia. Please by all means contribute to that as it's short. I notice that your cutting and pasting from the Anti-Americanism article (which is indeed a kind of "grandfather" for the other articles) but you may want to add country-specific info to these pages. Also, "similar pages include..." is not necessary--simply add to See also. Finally, I'm not sure if Anti-Canadianism is warranted as a page... As a Canadian, I can tell you we're universally beloved ;). Anyhow, sorry again and plz contact me with any concerns. Marskell 17:59, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Sino-American relations

Hi there! I just want to thank you for your contribution to the article. Your use of wordings has been very appropriate and has maintained NPOV. I personally think Wikipedia is urgently in need of editors like you, who acts as a great role model for newbies like me! Peace out, 199.111.230.195 19:31, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Finland

Vandalism? Yes, but not by you. I reverted to a "clean" version, before two anon IPs had done multiple vandalism. It appeared that your only edit was a redirect fix - so instead of doing a lot of manual fixes (I don't have admin rollback), I did what I did. I now have tried to fix the vandalism, while keeping your edits - hard work... Before editing again, please see the history of the article and check for the many anon IPs that have vandalized lately. It's important that vandal edits don't "slip" into the article when new, good edits are made. Thanks! --Janke | Talk 16:45, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Proposed Georgia Move

As a past participant in the discussion on how to handle the Georgia pages, I thought you might be interested to know that there's a new attempt to reach consensus on the matter being addressed at Talk:Georgia (country)#Requested_Move_-_July_2006. Please come by and share your thoughts to help form a consensus. --Vengeful Cynic 03:39, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.
