Hello and welcome

• 
  (In a nature-documentary style:)"And this is where we will often find the "Jenhawk" Wikipedian, known for monstrously large topics... with the small bird as the favored Swedish collaboratorGråbergs Gråa Sång"
• 
  Capybara: Now that I am the "cattle tyrant", can I just order everyone to agree with me?
• 
  Gråbergs Gråa Sång offers this humble bird to be included on my mock coat of arms (along with my crocodile) and my very real motto "Illegitimi non carborundum" (don't let the bastards grind you down).

Atheist Tom Bissell writing about the history of the Apostles declares, "I have long believed that anyone who does not find Christianity interesting has only his or her unfamiliarity with the topic to blame."

"Mainstream" scholarship is defined by critical method and what is verifiable historically. It is not a point-of-view or a philosophy, it is not found in the presence or absence of religious belief. It does not require belief of any kind other than a belief in the method itself.

"But should we not seek the truth? Yes, of course. Nonetheless, as Maher said, like the volunteer writers of Wikipedia, we also must focus on "the best of what we can know right now." That is a statement of intellectual humility, not of relativism. Complex topics and problems do not lend themselves to easy assessments of truth in real time. Through broad sourcing, the Wikipedia model in theory moves us to closer approximations of what is true."

"[https://hackernoon.com/wikipedia-rules-everything-around-me Remember, Wikipedia is not a sleek Silicon Valley startup with rows of paid moderators. Wikipedia is held together by a few thousand volunteer editors, a patchwork of semi-reliable bots, and the stubborn conviction of a community that still believes truth is worth defending. ...

Wikipedia has built a defense system that reacts faster than most newsrooms: vandalism is reversed in minutes, bots flag obvious abuse, and semi-protection walls off the most targeted pages. The human side is equally formidable: a culture that isn’t polished, isn’t always welcoming, but is absolutely relentless.

That relentlessness - combined with the fact that Wikipedia remains one of the few places online where money can’t simply buy influence - is exactly why it now occupies such a privileged position.]" First posted byGråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:22, 31 August 2025 (UTC)

use curly brackets around: ill|name|countryTemplate:ILL for non-English wikipedia references

To collapse a section, use ctop at the beginning, then cbot at the end within double curly brackets. To strike,use s inside lesser than < and greater than > symbols at the beginning, and add a backslash at the end so it reads less than< backslash/ then s and greater than>. like this

To link to a section or subsection in another page, append a # and the section name to the page name:displayed textFor linking in the same page, omit the page name and use a # and the section name:displayed textPage name § Section name

Ellipses require the placement of a "non-breaking space" before them: it's written with a & then nbsp and a semicolon

• On a Talk page, when including references, place Talkref between double curly brackets at the end just before signing

• Redirect: create the new page and add:
  #REDIRECT [[Article name]]
  as the sole text on the old article

• [35] splitting: remember to add an edit summary when copying content, have thought about which categories and external links you will need to add and what the new lead will look like, then just type the name of the new article somewhere, This is my new article name (like in your sandbox, or in to the search engine), and click on it, and you will see “you may create this page”, click on that, and create the page. Then copy your content in to there making sure the edit summary says, “copied from” the old article name with a live wikilink. You will need to have two different windows open in your browser ... the one you are copying from and the new article you are copying to. Try not to save the new article until you have added a proper lead sentence and categories so the new page patrollers won’t have you :). And don’t forget to add the references section. You can worry about deleting content from the old article after you have the new article working, but again, when you delete the content from the old article, be sure to say in edit summary, “content moved to” with a live link to the new article. Basically, you are just creating a new article and the only thing that is really crucial is that you follow WP:CWW by indicating in edit summary where you got the content. Then, don’t forget to tag the new article talk page with the Wikiproject tags that are on the old article. Heartfelt thanx toSandyGeorgia for interpreting WP instructions!

• TO WELCOME NEW PEOPLE USE THIS:

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

• Please take a moment to familiarize yourself withwhat Wikipedia is and is not. Wikipedia isnot just another news, forum, blog/webhost, promotional/advertising/directory, or social networking site. Itis a place for serious, collaborative, scholarly assembly of knowledge aboutnotable subjects into a high-qualityencyclopedia, withverifiablereferences toindependent, reliable sources. Many people come here with other expectations and have a difficult time as a result.
• Introduction andGetting started
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page andHow to develop articles
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please remember tosign your messages ontalk pages by adding a space and fourtildes to the end of the last line of your post, like this:

This is the last line of the post. ~~~~

The tildes will be automatically converted to a signature that contains your linked username and a timestamp to help keep conversations organized. I will sign mine accordingly with hopes you will remember me and will feel free to ask me any questions you have--or just say hi!

Here are some ways to find new users:

• Checkyour watchlist – welcome the users who are working on the things you yourself are interested in. The new users are the ones with a redtalk page link.
• CheckWikipedia's account creation log – this is especially useful with a quick link to their talk page, as well as an "at-a-glance" sign to tell if they've probably been welcomed already: their talk page isn'tred linked!
• Special:ActiveUsers a list of users who had some kind of activity within the last 30 days.
• New users can frequently be found seeking help at theWikipedia:Teahouse andWikipedia:Help desk.
• You will no doubt come across new users as you work on Wikipedia. You may spot them in the edit histories of pages or on talk pages. If a user's signature or username is inred, that indicates that he or she doesn't have a user page set up yet. That means they are very likely (but not always) a new user. Check their talk page to see if they've already been greeted (though there's no harm in greeting a new user again; you can always say "hi", and offer your assistance).
• Check therecent changes. If there is a new user, it will say as an edit summary:(New user account). These users will also be on theaccount creation log. You can then click on thered linked talk page and then greet them. This is also helpful if you are looking for newbies,vandalism, etc.
• Snuggle displays users who have registered within the past month. The list can be sorted in date order. It provides an overview of messages on their talk page, and quick access to their talk page and list of contributions.
