Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia! Listed below are some brief introductions containing all the basics needed to use, comment on, and contribute to Wikipedia.

• Main Introduction — What is Wikipedia?
• The Five Pillars — What are the principles behind Wikipedia?
• Wikipedia:A Primer for newcomers — A good starting point.
• Quick Introductions to:

• Policies and guidelines — How does Wikipedia actually work?
• Talk pages — How do I communicate in Wikipedia?
• Referencing — How do I add sources to articles?
• Uploading images — How do I add and use images?

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 00:00, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 14:38, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia

Your decision to become a Wikipedia editor is welcomed, and I hope that you will continue contributing. It may be frustrating to you that your first attempt at an article is being discussed for deletion. Please be assured that I understand and sympathize with your concerns about the problems at the bird sanctuary. But I have explained in detail in the deletion debate why I think that this particular article should be deleted. I encourage you to read the various policies and guidelines that I linked to, because they are directly applicable to this matter. You may also want to read the essay about single purpose accounts. I am hoping that you will take these suggestions to heart, because reading and understanding this material will help you become a productive and trusted Wikipedia editor. Please feel free to ask me any question at any time. Thank you. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 17:01, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
