	Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hey there, Fecchi! I'm glad you decided to register a new account here on Wikipedia. We're always looking for new editors to help improve the project, because believe me, there's always something to be done! Wikipedia often seems very large to newcomers (it did to me, at least), so I've put together this little guide to help you get started. I hope this helps, and as always, happy editing! *Hersfold* ^(t/a/c) 19:19, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Some Quick Tips Don't be afraid to make mistakes - Be Bold! That's how things get done, and there is always someone around to help you out if you need it. Remember to sign your posts on talk pages, like this one. You can click this button on your editing toolbar, or just type in four tildes (~~~~) That way, people know who they're talking to and who to go to if they have a question for you. Take some time to read a few of the help files, especially if you're new to Wikimarkup. Knowing the basics can save a lot of time and frustration down the road. I've provided some of these pages, as well as some common policies, at right. If you ever have a question, there are plenty of places to ask! You can come talk to me, add the code `{{helpme\|your question}}` to your talk page here, post a question on the talk page of the article you have a question about, or post something on the Help Desk or Reference Desk. Check out the ways to get involved below - each of these suggestions are good ways for a new editor to get involved in the Wikipedia project. Most importantly, get out there and edit!

Hey, thank you for your friendly welcome. I do hope I do not have too many questions, 'cause I've got a German and a French Wikipedia account. But we'll see. It's much easyer here in english Wikipedia than in French.--Fecchi 19:33, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, very good! You might be interested in helping out at Wikipedia:Translation then - I'm sure there's several articles they have that we don't.

In response to your questions on my talk page, "ka-nigit" is a reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail - I'm assuming you've never seen the movie, but in one scene King Arthur is called a "silly ka-nigit (knight)" (among other insults) by a rather rude French guard. As for a Grammar Nazi, it is completely harmless, it just means I'm a bit of a stickler when it comes to proper grammar at times. If it's at all offensive, please let me know, and I'll take it down. Again, welcome! Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 21:31, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh okay. Sorry for my vulgar choice of words. I'm a little sensitive against the word nazi.--Fecchi 12:32, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there!

It's good to see you here on the English Wikipedia. I can't imagine being able to speak three languages that aren't your native language. Corvus coronoides _talk 13:38, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm learning my fourth now.I'm in a special class, where we have 3 languages, now I'm studying Italian at an acedemy. It's no problem for me. I find it easy. I often notice French, English or German people do not speak so many languages (in Germany often English and a little French - or only a bit English)--Fecchi 19:47, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I take German in school, so my German is very poor, and I took one year of French. Corvus coronoides _talk 21:53, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How old are you, then? German isn't easy because Grammar is very hard, I think.--Fecchi 13:51, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am in high school. I think German is easier than other languages because English and German come from the same root. Corvus coronoides _talk 02:38, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's true. But I never have had to learn German in school.--Fecchi 17:25, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Germany Invitation

Hello, Fecchi! I'd like to call your attention to the WikiProject Germany and the German-speaking Wikipedians' notice board. I hope their links, sub-projects and discussions are interesting and even helpful to you. If not, I hope that new ones will be.

Yes, thank you. "Autobahns and Bundestraßen"- that sounds funny.--Fecchi (talk) 13:09, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for asking. It derives from Zeitgeist, which consists of zeit (English: time) and geist (English: spirit/ghost). "Gespenst" (English: ghost) is a similar word in German but relates more to the physical appearance.--Zeitgespenst (talk) 01:42, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh? that's interesting.--Fecchi (talk) 09:43, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

John MacAdam image

Hi there. Good to see that John MacAdam now has an article in German. A great trivia night question in Australia is "Which nut was named after the man who umpired the first ever match of Australian rules football?" --Roisterer (talk) 22:43, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Roisterer. I don't think his main credit was umpiring the first Australian Football match and I'm not shure if I have just found some irony on my discussion page when I read your comment.--Fecchi (talk) 22:38, 4 December 2009 (UTC)P.S.:But I'm shure (sic!) I found a spelling fault in my answer above.--Fecchi (talk) 20:45, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
