I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to
stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the
Five pillars of Wikipedia and
simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the
naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the
manual of style. 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)! There's still more help at the
Tutorial and
Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the
Community Portal. 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.
Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!
Happy Wiki-ing. — Kf4bdy talk contribs
Hi there. The text continually re-added by the anonymous IP and various sockpuppet accounts - which I see has been re-added yet again prior to you adding the infobox - is a copyvio from [1]. The version I keep reverting to is basically a short stub version rewritten by me from scratch to remove the copyvio. Cheers, DWaterson ( talk) 11:22, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi,
As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.
We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.
You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.
We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
the voting page. For the Election committee,
