Welcome
Bienvenue
Bienvenido/Bienvenida
to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia!
Wikipedia is a free-content encyclopedia written in 250 languages by thousands of users like you and me from all walks of life. As a member of the Welcoming Committee, I would like to say thanks for being a part of this project.

Here are some links to help you, the new user, on your Wikipedia journey:

Whether you're new to the project or have helped us for a while, remember to use edit summaries when you're done with a page. Summaries are important because, with those, other editors will understand what you have done with the content. REMEMBER: think twice before clicking "Save page" below the editing box, since whatever you write in the summary box will permamently go in the history of any page. (Spellchecking is important; you cannot change the summary data after you have finished editing.)

Remember, also, to sign your name with four tildes (~~~~) or by pressing this button (Signature button) above the box, whenever leaving comments on talk pages.

If you want to know how you're doing on Wikipedia, feel free to check out your list of contributions.

If you don't know how to do something, type ((helpme)) on your talk page, and administrators will come to solve your problems.

After you've stayed here for a while, you might want to take an editor review, or, even better, take a chance at adminship.

Wherever the journey takes you, I wish you the best of luck and respect on Wikipedia. If you have any questions about my expertise or this site, you can e-mail me or talk to me, and I will see about the situation as best as possible.

In the meantime, happy editing!

Golly, you haven't been with us since...mid-2005?! Well, I've given you a belated welcome right now, and I hope you will continue to enjoy your Wikipedia experience. Once again, happy editing! --Slgrandson (page - messages - contribs) 04:37, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Son Lux[edit]

A tag has been placed on Son Lux requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding ((hangon)) to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
