[edit] Welcome to the Wikipedia!

Hello, and Welcome to the Wikipedia, Ricky r! Thanks for the copy edit over on the Science fiction article. Hope you enjoy editing here and becoming a Wikipedian! Here are a few perfunctory tips to hasten your acculturation into the Wikipedia experience:

• Take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial and Manual of Style.
• When you have time, please peruse The five pillars of Wikipedia, and assume good faith, but keep in mind the unique style you brought to the Wiki!
• Always be mindful of striving for NPOV, be respectful of others' POV, and remember your perspective on the meaning of neutrality is invaluable!
• If you need any help, post your question at the Help Desk.
• Explore, be bold in editing, and, above all else, have fun!

And some odds and ends: Boilerplate text, Brilliant prose, Cite your sources, Civility, Conflict resolution, How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Pages needing attention, Peer review, Policy Library, Utilities, Verifiability, Village pump, and Wikiquette; also, you can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes: ~~~~.

Best of luck, Ricky r, and most importantly, have fun! Ombudsman 14:00, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind message, but I have already been blocked...

I just tried to correct something to make the Bogdanov Affair article a little more NPOV... Sorry, I had not understood that it was forbidden.

OK, good bye and thank you Wikipedia, the "free encyclopedia" !
