Hello, JurgenG, and welcome to the Simple English Wikipedia! I hope you will be happy helping here. You should begin by reading these pages: Wikipedia:Useful, Help:Contents, Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines, and how to write Simple English articles. If you want some ideas of which pages to work on, read Wikipedia:Requested articles or the list of wanted pages.
Even though it is a good idea to research an article (like looking at the discussion page) before making large changes, please be bold and try! Any changes you make that are not perfect can be fixed later. We are also working most on core articles and the most common topics until this Wikipedia grows.
If you want to ask a question or talk with other members, you can visit our version of the "village pump" at Wikipedia:Simple talk. Administrators on Wikipedia can also help you with more difficult problems. You can also ask me for help. The best way to do that is to leave a message on my talk page. You should always sign your messages on Talk pages by typing "~~~~" (four tildes) at the end of your words.
Good luck and happy editing! -Eptalon 07:08, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm not entirely new to the Wikipedia-system but I mostly edit on the dutch and sometimes on the french pages. When I come here on simple it is mostly to edit the interlanguage links to the dutch pages. I prefer to let the editing on the english pages to the native english speakers :-) JurgenG 07:28, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi Jurgen, how's it going? Just wanted to say that I've been chasing your edits and adding further interwiki links to the articles you've changed. I use the English Wikipedia's list of interwiki links as the basis and, while I'm there, I add the simple link before pasting the interwiki list over here at Simple Wikpedia. Just a thought if you'd like to add more iw links as you go! All the best, The Rambling Man (talk) 13:44, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Not really that hard work :-) Just checked them all from Special:WithoutInterwiki and with a smal script in Windows the changes are pretty fast. Now I try to keep up with the new pages JurgenG (talk) 05:59, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for catching the duplicate page! I've merged the information from Hundred Years War to Hundred Years' War as per the English Wikipedia. Cheers, Razorflame 14:08, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello. I am a new user here at the Simple English Wikipedia. Although, I am a very experienced user on another wikipedia. Anyway, if there is no admin to look over WP:AIV, (in other words, no active admins to so AIV), when there is repeated vandalism, what do you do? Just revert away?-- RyanCross (talk) 08:27, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
I was going to create a vandalism warning template, but I just wanted someone's opinion on it. How about something like this, this, this, and [1]? Of course it will be simplified and copyedited, but better yet, it would be a warning template. Thoughts? -- Ryan†Cross (talk) 09:03, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

For creating all those stubs today and always doing interwiki work, I award you The Working Man's Barnstar! By the way, I think you hit our 32,000th article mark with one of those stubs, but you created too any to tell which one it is. :P -- RyanCross (talk) 06:00, 15 July 2008 (UTC) |
Thanks for one more :-) 352 Belgian municipalities to go, and counting JurgenG (talk) 06:03, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

hahaha that was because you all were asleep while I was at it :-) JurgenG (talk) 06:45, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
There are some 36000 Municipalities in France and some 14000 in Germany... so that would get Simple to 80000+ pages ;-) Who has time to start them all?JurgenG (talk) 15:57, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
Just to say thanks for the iw links on my articles, i'll add the en and fr links in the next articles. (Yotcmdr (talk) 16:55, 9 September 2008 (UTC))
