Welcome!

Hello, Welcoming committee/Welcome templates, and welcome to Wikipedia! This is one of the most popular websites in the world, and it's only through the contributions of editors like you. And Wikipedia is not just a collection of articles, it's an active community. The real fun here is contributing to Wikipedia, but don't feel hurt if some of your first few edits get removed, as there are some central guidelines you may not be familiar with.

Some good advice: be bold in your editing, and use the talk pages to discuss with other editors. Be kind to others, because there's a lot you can learn from them, and there's lots they can help you with.

There's lots of resources to help you become a great editor, from our basic introduction to our in-depth manual. But if you have any questions or problems, no matter what they are, leave me a message on my talk page or place {{helpme}} on this page to get any help you need. If you haven't done so, tell us a bit about yourself. Oh, and please sign your name on talk pages and votes by typing ~~~~; our software automatically converts it to your username and the date.

Glad you're here! ~~~~

Greetings...

Hello, Welcoming committee/Welcome templates! I welcome a lot of new school page authors to Wikipedia, and I would like to thank you for your contribution(s). Unfortunately, the page you created didn't quite work out according to the school page guidelines and it still needs your urgent attention. It may already have been redirected to the school district because according to our policies, we don't think it matches the requirements for primary or middle schools.

When you've made the fixes, you can take your time for the rest, so you'll want to read up on Your First Article and check out:

• Starting an article
• How to write a great article
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Help pages
• Tutorial

If you are still stuck, you can ask a question at the School help page or you can even ask me on my talk page. I hope you'll stay around and even help out on some other school project tasks. Happy editing! ~~~~

Hello, Welcoming committee/Welcome templates, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but your new page does not conform to our policies. Because you seem to be interested in improving the article, your page has been moved so that you can continue to work on it. This is called "userfication", and is intended for articles which currently do not meet our policies and guidelines but which may become acceptable after substantial editing. The previous location for your article currently serves as a redirect to the new location, and will be deleted shortly. Although you may move the article back to "mainspace" yourself, it is highly recommended that you send it through the Articles for Creation process instead, when the article is ready. This process lets other, experienced editors help you develop it into a suitable article. If you move the article back yourself instead, you understand that it will likely be speedily deleted or deleted after a community discussion.

If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles. If you still have questions, there is a help desk, or you can write {{helpme}} below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style
• Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Someone using this temporary account, {{subst:BASEPAGENAME}}, has made edits that were made in good faith, but have been deemed not to contribute positively to the article. These edits have thus been reverted. Wikipedia's page on unacceptable additions may explain why. If you'd like to experiment with the syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles.

If you are confused by this message as it does not appear to relate to you, you may wish to consider getting a username to avoid confusion with other editors.

You don't have to log in to read or edit pages on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free, requires no personal information, and has many benefits. Without a username, a temporary account is used to identify you.

Some good links for newcomers are:

• Help contents – the main help page.
• Quick guide – a "cheatsheet" listing the main editing commands.

Hello! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

You are welcome to edit without logging in; however, creating an account is free and has several benefits (for example, the ability to create pages and upload media). An account also has more protection against revealing your IP address. If you edit without a username, a temporary account ({{subst: BASEPAGENAME}}) is used to identify you instead.

Welcome to Wikipedia from WikiProject Medicine (also known as WPMED).

We're a group of editors who want to improve the quality of medical articles here on Wikipedia. I noticed that you are interested in editing medical articles; it's great to have a new editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing Wikipedia articles are:

• Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on our talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the group's talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some help!
• Sourcing of medical and health-related content on Wikipedia is guided by our medical sourcing guidelines, commonly referred to as MEDRS. These guidelines typically require recent secondary sources to support information. Primary sources (case studies, case reports, research studies) are rarely used, especially if the primary sources are produced by the organisation or individual who is promoting a claim.
• The Wikipedia community includes a wide variety of editors with different interests, skills, and knowledge. We all manage to get along through a lot of discussion that happens behind the scenes and through the editing policy. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss them on an article's talk page or post a message on the WPMED talk page.

Feel free to drop a note on my talk page if you have any questions. I wish you all the best, and thank you for your help!

As you seem to be interested in copy editing articles, I thought you might be interested in the Guild of Copy Editors: a community of Wikipedia editors who volunteer some of their time working on the list of articles in need of copy editing. Joining the guild is simple and noncommittal, and its members provide an invaluable service to the English-language Wikipedia.
