Welcome to Wikipedia!

[edit]

Dear Tuyeleka,
Hello, and let me be first to welcome you to this great glorious mess we call Wikipedia.
I have created your account, and I hope you will take a few minutes to peruse a bit of reading material before you get to editing with your shiny new tools.

  • First off, you can learn the basics of editing Wikipedia at How to Edit a Page. There is a chart showing basic commands in Wikimarkup, the formatting language which Wikipedia uses, at the Cheatsheet, and you can find answers to frequently asked questions at the FAQ
  • It would also behoove you to learn about "Wikiquette"- that is which behaviors are appropriate here and which are not. You can find this information at Etiquette.
  • If you are editing Wikipedia with the screen reader JAWS, there is a page dedicated to keyboard shortcuts and other tips called Using JAWS. If you use a different screen reader or have a different disability and need assistance of any kind, make sure to drop us a line at Wikipedia Accessibility or WikiProject Accessibility to let us know how we can help you out.
  • Due to persistent misuse of the system, several features of Wikipedia have been disabled for very new users- including uploading a picture, and editing a semi-protected page. Some features, including the addition of an external link, will require the entering a CATCHPA. After four days have passed and you have made ten edits, these features will be enabled and/or you will no longer be required to enter CATCHPAs.

If you have any questions about anything at all, don't hesitate to leave me a message on my talk page. I usually respond very quickly, and if I don't know the answer... well, I'll find someone who does! You can leave a message on a talk page by clicking the "new section" tab at the top of the page. Don't forget to sign your posts with ~~~~ which substitutes your username and the time you left the message.
Have a wonderful time, and once again, WELCOME!

The deletion of an article you created, Tuyeleka:Illegal land sales a headache, has been proposed for the following reason:

This belongs on wikinews if anything. Illegal land sales are an issue in any developing country.

You are welcome to improve the article to meet Wikipedia's quality standards and remove the deletion notice from the article. You may also remove the notice if you disagree with the deletion, though in such cases, further discussion may take place at Articles for deletion, and the article may still be deleted if there is a consensus to do so.

Wikipedia has certain standards for inclusion that all articles must meet. Certain types of article must establish the notability of their subject by asserting its importance or significance. Additionally, since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, content inappropriate for an encyclopedia, or content that would be more suited to somewhere else (such as a directory or social networking website) is not acceptable. See What Wikipedia is not for the relevant policy. You may wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. Funnyfarmofdoom (talk to me) 09:41, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
