A welcome from Noble Eagle

Hi, Zoolooman, Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, bonjour, namaste, konichiwa, shalom, hola, salve, sala'am, bonjourno, and hi! I'm Noble Eagle. Seeing as you are a new user on wikipedia and/or do not have any messages on your talk page and/or are making good contributions through your IP Address, I just thought I'd pop in and give you a handful of links that should help you be a better Wikipedian.

Though we all make small insignificant mistakes, here is what Wikipedia is not, but if you want it in a nutshell, it's an encyclopaedia that counts on facts . It is the wish of most of us Wikipedians that Wikipedia become the greatest source of factual information on the internet, you can be part of that. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful.

If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you. Here are a few links to get you started:

• Always sign your posts on talk pages! That way, others will know who left which comments. You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
• The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
• Simplified Ruleset
• How to edit a page
• Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style
• Wikipedia Glossary

And remember:

• Be Bold!,
• New Users Don't Bite, and please don't bite them,
• Learn from your mistakes,
• Be nice and show etiquette, and
• Contribute, Contribute, Contribute!.

• If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
• If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

• • P.S. I'm happy to help new users. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you need help with anything or simply wish to say hello. :)
  • P.P.S. Remember, if you know any facts, just add it! Don't hesitate!
  • P.P.P.S. Don't forget to customize your userpage, check out all the different Userboxes.

Civilization IV

A key element to Wikipedia is the policy of Being Bold. I haven't taken any control over edits to that article, I'm just trying to organize a co-ordinated effort which you can probably help in. So feel free to rip the article apart and rewrite as much as you want, as long as it's better in the end. Make sure you read the policies in all of the links presented above.
