Reply to all your questions
[edit]- E-mail is not necessary. Lets discuss it here for now and see how it will turn out.
- To make your userpage you can copy any userbox you like, but it should describe you, (like your hobbies (interests), country of origin, etc.) If you don't want to display it (some users prefer privacy) you don't need to.
- Article. When it comes to writing an article make sure that there are some sources, like news reports, etc. Blogs and social network sites are not sources, however you can use them as an external link.
- Adding photos requires a trick. If you know English (and from your name I can tell it is your second language) you can read it here and our image use policy here.
If you want to you can tell me the country of origin you are from and I will even find you a translator so that you can ask them an e-mail and maybe even work on the same article.:)--Mishae (talk) 19:39, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
Help will come shortly
[edit]I already let one person know of your join. In the mean time you can join WikiProject Syria, where users just like yourself can help each other. Greetings from Russia, by the way! Another thing, I am using laptop too.:)--Mishae (talk) 21:52, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
- Yep, sure will. Although a bit of advice, if you want to, you can just type your message here by using ping. Let me show you what it will do:
@Ali Attebi: This thing will notify me of your message on yours or anyone else's talkpages. Another thing, I do appreciate the barnstars, but use it sparely. Some users might think that it is disruptive (I am O.K. with it though):) You can also use the plain white text, just like I do on your talkpage (no template necessary. Let me know if you will need any help (although I guess that by joining project Syria you will be covered from the bottom up). Happy editing!--Mishae (talk) 23:50, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
- O.K. You just type in in the window of your search engine on your laptop Image:, the list will appear. Then, you can type what ever you want, say, Syrian flag. You will type Image:Animated-Flag-Syria.pdf. The image will appear as File:Animated-Flag-Syria.pdf, change file to image and you are done! If you will have trouble doing I can do it for you (that I can do). P.S. You are the second person from Syria that I have met, my first one was from a local restaurant in the United States where I curently live.--Mishae (talk) 00:24, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
