Welcome!

Hello, David in DC, and welcome to Wikipedia! Wikipedia is one of the world's fastest growing internet sites. We aim to build the biggest and most comprehensive encyclopaedia in the world. To date we have over 4 million articles in a host of languages. The English Language Wikipedia alone has over 1 million articles! But we still need more! Please feel free to contribute your knowledge and expertise to our site.

Here are a few good links for newcomers:

We hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will be by to help you shortly.

Additional tips

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Five will get you the datestamp only.
You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
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 still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
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.

Happy Wiki-ing. --MPerel ^{( talk | contrib)} 17:58, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Statutory Rapists

I've just reverted the category "Statutory rapists" from the articles of Buz Lukens, Dan Crane and Gerry Studds. I've explained why in my edits, on one of the articles' talk pages and on the talk page of the "new" editor who inserted them. This editor began editing under the name Lemonsquares, a week or so ago. Another edit I found in his history was one labelling a politician Jewish. The politician's congressional biography states that he's buried in a "Beth El Cemetary" so I'm inclined to believe the information is accurate and have left it alone. Nonetheless, these four edits --- three labeling politicians with a derogatory sexual category and a fourth labelling a politician a Jew --- sure seem, ummmm, familiar. I'd appreciate it if others kept an eye out for similarities to the edits of Tommy/John. Thanks David in DC (talk) 03:37, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree - there is no excuse this time for allowing Celona to reappear, and not be dealt with. A user check is in order. Can you request through SA? --Jkp212 (talk) 05:16, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
