User:Laleena/User Page
- 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.

For a basic overview of article assessment, please see the Assessment FAQ. – – Read more: To add this auto-randomizing template to your user page, use {{totd-random}}

A dummy edit is a slight change in an article's wikitext that has no effect on the rendered page but allows you to save a useful edit summary. This is like a SMS (Short Message Service). To make a "dummy edit" just make a slight non-rendering change to the page, fill out the edit summary with your short message including this tag: [[WP:dummy edit]] (include the four square brackets), and save your change. (Note that a null edit does not modify the wikitext and does not allow you to leave an edit summary.) Uses for dummy edits:

Tip of the day
For images, there are free tools like GIMP and ImageMagick, and commercial ones like Adobe Photoshop that provide a variety of processing filters. The preferred formats are Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) for drawings, and Portable Network Graphics (PNG) for pictures. You may also use JPEG.
Vector graphics are preferred to raster graphics for drawings, because they can be scaled as needed without losing information, and because they can be more easily edited. Please remember to follow our guidelines and policies when uploading images.
