Welcome[edit]

Hello Samgra and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you've chosen to join us. This is a great project with lots of dedicated people, which might seem intimidating at times, but don't let anything discourage you. Be bold!, explore, and contribute. If you want to learn more,

Wikipedia:Bootcamp teaches you the basics quickly,
Wikipedia:Tutorial is more in-depth, and
Wikipedia:Topical index is exhaustive.

The following links might also come in handy:

Float around for awhile until you find something that tickles your fancy. One easy way to do this is to hit the random page button in the navigation bar to the left. You can write new articles, add to existing ones, or edit any and all pages that appear. There are also many great committees and groups that focus on particular jobs. My personal favorite stomping grounds are Wikipedia:Translation into English and Wikipedia:Cleanup for sloppy articles, but they may not interest you. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki projects that you might enjoy more, but Wikipedia is the most popular by far.

There are a few crucial points to keep in mind when editing. Be civil with users, strive to maintain a neutral point of view, and show good etiquette like signing your comments with four tildas like this: ~~~~ If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask me anything on my talk page or ask the true experts at Wikipedia:Help desk. Again, welcome! Draeco 03:54, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

HKWNB, HKCOTW, Current events[edit]

Hi. Thanks for your contributions to some Hong Kong-related articles. You might be interested to take a look at HK wikipedians' notice board, HK Collaboration of the Week and Current events in Hong Kong and Macao. Happy editing! — Insta ntnood 10:23, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I love Jesus[edit]

Avast, ye scurrilous Exonian! What do ye on our fine, and previously unsullied Jesus article? We desire not your filthy perspectives from the wrong side of the Turl! ;-) Seriously, though, the article probably should read less like an alternative prospectus. Any improvements are much needed and welcome (but don't you dare try to sneak in any Exeter-inspired calumnies ;-) Nomist 10:48, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ahoy matey! While I be an Exonian, I will try t' be fair! I don't mean t' disrespect y'r college, I just seek t' truth! Beware flyin' bottles o' old smelly milk! Samgra 15:23, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Samgra, I tried to make the student life section a bit better. It'd be good if we could get the NPOV label off there ASAP. Do you think it still needs more changes? --Ed hazell 12:08, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject University of Oxford[edit]

As a current or past contributor to a related article, I thought I'd let you know about WikiProject University of Oxford, a collaborative effort to improve Wikipedia's coverage of the University of Oxford. If you would like to participate, you can visit the project page, where you can join the project and see a list of open tasks and related articles. Thanks!

Jesus College Peer Review[edit]

Hi there! As you've previously taken a constructive interest in the Jesus College, Oxford article, I'd be very interested in hearing any comments you might have on ways to improve it at the peer review page. I'd love to get it up to at least WP:GA level — don't see why Oriel College should be so much better represented than anywhere else on here with its WP:FA status and all!
