Revision as of 18:05, 28 October 2007
- I like to play backgammon. My motto is "Reach to the sky, and to the stars, and achieve what you want to achieve." I like to learn & work, but I do what I want to do when I'm not busy. Of course, I like Wikipedia because of what I can learn. I was born on March 15 & my first edit day was September 29, 2006 (you can check). I am a subscriber of the Wikipedia Signpost. Laleena's Files is my former experiment page, it is now the Sandbox. My characters for myself are δΔΞΨЖ. I also experiment at my Sandbox. I am a member of the Short Stories Wikiproject. I am the creator of the Denmark Wikiproject. I took a Wikibreak August 1-August 6.

Tip of the moment...
 Where did that fact come from?
It is important that the information in Wikipedia be true and accurate. To help ensure this, we have the Verifiability Policy, which states that all facts presented on Wikipedia must be verifiable. When writing facts, it is very important that you cite your sources! Stick to a factual style even when writing about fiction or opinions. Providing references is particularly important for controversial opinions—instead of using weasel words like some people believe... you should cite sources to help readers learn who believes what, and why. Keep in mind that the folks at Wikipedia's Reference desk are very knowledgeable across a wide range of subjects, and they may be able to help you track down source references for a particular detail. – – To add this auto-randomizing template to your user page, use {{totd-random}}

| Please proofread the daily tip...
It's displayed below one day early. Some tips are obsolete. So we need new tips too. Please share your best tips and tip ideas at the Tip of the day department. edit Tomorrow's tip of the day... Be neutral when editing Wikipedia
Wikipedia strives to be neutral (NPOV). Remember, you have a point of view (POV). Think about whether your edits will breach this. If you think other users will think it is POV (Wikijargon for "biased"), then run it past other editors using the talk page for the article. This will allow for constructive debate and editing rather than an edit war. – – Read more: To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd-tomorrow}}

You can also search Wikipedia's help pages using the search box below, or browse the Help menu or the Help directory.

The Readers' FAQ and our about page contain the most commonly sought information about Wikipedia.

Select any page in the list to go to that page. Or, select the magnifying glass "Go" button, or press ↵ Enter, to go to a full search result. For advanced searches, see Help:Searching.
There are other ways to browse and explore Wikipedia articles; many can be found at Wikipedia:Contents. See our disclaimer for cautions about Wikipedia's limitations.

Contributing is easy: see how to edit a page. For a quick summary on participating, see contributing to Wikipedia, and for a friendly tutorial, see our introduction. For a listing of introductions and tutorials by topic, see getting started. The Simplified Manual of Style and Cheatsheet can remind you of basic wiki markup.
Be bold in improving articles! When adding facts, please provide references so others may verify them. If you are affiliated with the article subject, please see our conflict of interest guideline.
The simple guide to vandalism cleanup can help you undo malicious edits.
If you're looking for places you can help out, the Task Center is the place to go, or check out what else is happening at the community portal. You can practice editing and experiment in a sandboxyour sandbox.
Report a problem with an article
If there is a problem with an article about yourself, a family member, a friend or a colleague, please read Biographies of living persons/Help.
If you spot a problem with an article, you can fix it directly, by clicking on the "Edit" link at the top of that page. See the "edit an article" section of this page for more information.
If you don't feel ready to fix the article yourself, post a message on the article's talk page. This will bring the matter to the attention of others who work on that article. There is a "Talk" link at the beginning of every article page.
You can contact us. If it's an article about you or your organization, see Contact us – Subjects.
Create a new article or upload media
Check Your first article to see if your topic is appropriate, then the Article wizard will walk you through creating the article.
Once you have created an article, see Writing better articles for guidance on how to improve it and what to include (like reference citations).
For contributing images, audio or video files, see the Introduction to uploading images. Then the Upload wizard will guide you through that process.

Tip of the day
It is good Wikiquette to sign your messages on talk pages. This is done by typing ~~~~ (four tildes). Do not sign article pages.
Some users have fancy signatures with lots of colors and links. Here are 3 different ways to do that:
- Edit directly in the signature box
- Go to your Preferences and type some wiki-markup code (and/or HTML markup code) into the signature box to augment your stock signature
- Check the box that says "Treat the above as Wiki markup"
- Press the "Save" button. Or...
- Use an HTML editor
- Open an HTML editor (e.g. Adobe Dreamweaver or Microsoft Expression Web)
- Design how you want your signature to look, putting links in it by adding brackets [[ ]]
- Select it and click the HTML tab and copy the code of your text into the signature box mentioned above.
- Be sure not to copy the tags at the beginning and end of the code that say <p> </p>. Or...
- Adapt someone else's signature
- Find a signature you like
- Click edit this page
- Copy and paste the signature into your signature box (see #1 above), but change all the links to your links: you do not want your signature leading to someone else's user page!
Do not use images, templates, or external links in your signature. Please ensure your custom signature complies with the relevant guideline. Use special code for displayed pipe character.
