[edit] Welcome to the Simple English Wikipedia

Hello, RaNdOm26, and welcome to the Simple English Wikipedia! I hope you are happy editing here and being a Wikipedian. Some helpful pages to start you off are Wikipedia:Useful, Help:Contents and Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines.

If you want to meet and talk with other members, you can visit our version of the "village pump" at Wikipedia:Simple talk. Just remember that you should sign your messages on Talk pages by typing "~~~~" (four tildes) at the end of your words.

We have a special page that describes how to write Simple English articles. If you want some ideas of which pages to work on, read Wikipedia:Requested articles or the list of wanted pages.

We are also focusing on core articles until this Wikipedia grows. This list of topics will help show the types of topics we want most.

Even though it is a good idea to research an article (like looking at the discussion page) before making large changes, do not be afraid to be bold! Any changes you make that are not perfect can be fixed later.

If you need any help, send a message to an administrator on his or her talk page. Administrators on Wikipedia will try to help you with your problems and resolve them as soon as possible.

You might even want to join Esperanza if you want to help the wiki to become a community.

Finally, if you have any questions on how things work, don't hesitate to ask me. The best way to do that is to leave a message on my talk page. Good luck and happy editing!--TBCΦtalk? 11:54, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Featured articles

Simple Wikipedia doesn't have a featured or a good article process yet, though we do have peer reviews.--TBCΦtalk? 19:42, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Category:Very good articles exists, but unlike Wikipedia's Featured Articles, on Simple English articles don't require discussion or voting to reach the "Very good article" status.--TBCΦtalk? 07:29, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Personal attacks.

Please do not make personal attacks against other users. Especially do not bicker on my talk page with Chacor or any other user. This is against policy as well as the spirit of the project, so please consider this warning in the future. Blockinblox 16:23, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Don't be unsettled. There are all kinds of ways to be useful to this project that don't involve saying that you hate other users. More subtle is the thing to be, if you do have any disagreement with them, and stick to the facts of the subject without insulting them personally, or else it looks bad on you. Blockinblox 16:52, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Warning

Here is the warning about what I mentioned before, and I know you're aware of it. Please make sure that all of your edits here go directly towards productive content improvement, rather than games. -- Netoholic @ 05:44, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Simplification

I added the 'unsimple' tag to Cyclone Steve because although some of it was simplified from the english wikipedia, much of the structure and vocabulary remained the same. When I come across an article that appears to have been mostly copied from the english wikipedia, I usually add the 'unsimple' tag.

There are some general guidelines in Wikipedia:how to write Simple English articles. Simple english articles are usually much shorter than their corresponding english articles; a big "wall of text" is daunting for somebody new to or unfamiliar with the language. Not only does vocabulary need to be changed, but sentence structure is also important. Shorter sentences are usually better.

For example, I might change the first sentence in the article to: "Tropical Cyclone Steve was a big storm that happened in north Australia. It lasted from 27 February 2000 to 11 March 2000."

Hope this helps. --Ghewgill 11:00, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Not Happy?

Dear RaNdOm26, do not fret. Since many of us oppose it, it is to be kept. Relax. You seem quite worked up on this issue. It's all fine, okay? :)--Tdxiang @ 02:40, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

in its talk page. Thank you!--Tdxiang 09:59, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Netoholic

Per a steward ruling after some disputed actions by Netoholic, he was desysopped, even after this vote was taken. I hope I have answered you questions. And... YES! I'm Chinese and an administrator now. If you need help, tell me, but not for long, for I will be going on a holiday soon. See you!--Tdxiang 09:51, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Popups

create a page called monobook.js (In your case User:RaNdOm26/monobook.js). Then just copy the content from my monobook (User:The life of brian/monobook.js) and voila you have popups. Every time you hover your mouse over an internal link a small window will pop up and show the first few lines. They also have some other nice features. regards. The life of brian 19:56, 5 December 2006 (UTC) Please see your monobook page and follow the instructions, to delete the cache.The life of brian 14:06, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry, solved it. RaNdOm26 14:16, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SYSOP

Currently I am runing to become a sysop. The main reason why I want to become one is to better help in the war against vandalism, I believe in tougher blocks against vandals and after the 2 time they vandaliz an article I will impose a ban on them. I have a lot of free time so I will be a active sysop. At one point I had a average of 50 edits a day, now I have a average of 30 because I was busy and not able to edit. If you have any questions ask me on my talk page please. to vote go to Wikipedia:Administrators. Have a nice week and god bless.--Sir James Paul 21:05, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

God bless. RaNdOm26 14:16, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Popups

I'm not sure. I personally never had such a problem. See my monobook and scroll to the bottom to check. The code is alright for you, though.--Tdxiang 09:53, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
