A welcome from Sputnik

Hi, David McCormick, Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, bonjour, salut, privyet, konichiwa, shalom, hola, salve, sala'am, bonjourno, and hi! I'm Sputnik. I noticed that you were new and/or have yet to receive any messages so I just thought I'd pop in to say "hello". We're glad to have you in our community! I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it's so big but we won't bite so Be Bold and get what you know down in microchips! If you do make a mistake, that's fine, we'll assume good faith and just correct you: it'll take a few seconds maximum! I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Though we all make goofy mistakes, here is what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful. If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you. Here are a few links to get you started:

• Always sign your posts on talk pages! That way, others will know who left which comments. You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
• The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
• Simplified Ruleset
• How to edit a page
• Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style
• Wikipedia Glossary

And remember:

• Be Bold!,
• Don't let grumpy users scare you off.,
• Learn from others,
• Play nicely with others, and
• Contribute, Contribute, Contribute!.

• 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 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.

• P.S. I'm happy to help new users. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you need help with anything or simply wish to say hello. :)

Happy Wiki-ing!

Edit to Geoff Hurst

Just to let you know about this edit - I think something went wrong somewhere along the lines. I presume it was accidental, but please be a little more careful in the future :) Thanks, — FireFox 17:51, 20 June '06

Whoops, definitely accidental. Odd, I normally check afterwards too, but I must have been in a rush for some reason. Apologies, and will try to be more careful. David McCormick 17:56, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

No problem :) As for replying to messages, overall it's up to you. Some users prefer to reply on their own talk page, and that's fine as long as you put a note or something at the top of the page saying that you will reply here and not on their talk page. Others just reply on the other persons talk page to keep things simple and to make sure that the user sees it. But it is up to you in the emd :) Thanks, — FireFox 18:03, 20 June '06

Odd. I realised that the edits I'd tried to make were in the part I acccidentally deleted, so I thought I'd try again and the same thing almost happened - for some reason Firefox (the browser, not you!) deleted it by accident when I tried to scroll before the page was loaded. Ah well, fixed now. Thanks for noticing. :) David McCormick 22:02, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Hargreaves to Man Utd

I'm not sure if you want to change the wording or delete it all. It's Crystal balling the way it is now. So. I'll let you decide on how to word it. Kingjeff 00:05, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

I'll leave it for the time being I think, see what happens in the next week or so. David McCormick 00:07, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
