Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! If you're new to our community, drop us a note here and tell us a little bit about yourself. Most important, we would like to know about your interests (for which we have a separate page), your areas of knowledge, and the sorts of things you'd like to work on here at Wikipedia. That makes it easier for us to help you start editing. We'd also appreciate it if you told us how you found out about Wikipedia.

To add yourself to the list:
  • post a comment,
  • enter your name as the subject/headline (which will make a new header for you in the log), and
  • sign your name at the end of your comment by typing four tildes: ~~~~. (This code makes a link to your user page, which readers can use to welcome you personally if they like).
Your comments will then be added to the bottom of the list.

You may also like to add yourself to other lists, such as the listing in order of arrival, by country, or by skills (such as translation or photography). Finally, if you want a little personal assistance in using or contributing to the site, you might go through one of the Bootcamps.

An automatically generated list of new users can be found at Special:Log/Newusers.

Victoria

Hello: I've been a reader and user of Wikipedia for a very long time, but began to contribute only recently (November 2005). I have an extensive background in the Canadian publishing industry (including as an editor and writer), and my interests are far too many to tally. Let's just say they lean heavily towards History, Literature, and the Arts, and far away from Maths and Sciences (though, ironically, my first editing contribution here was to a science-related article). I wrote and contributed my first article here because I could find no information on the subject, and so figured I'd just do it myself. It was so much fun that I think I'll do some more.... --Victoria 03:04, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

A Kiwi with a pretty good general knowledge and a great fan of Wikipedia. I've done a bit of editing in the past anonymously, but thought it was time to get an account. I'm enjoying sorting out the facts, but I'm also looking forward to improving the style and cohesiveness of articles. Snori 04:29, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi. I'm David from Ireland. England and Liverpool in particular has been my home for 15 years. I'm a big of Bruce Springsteen and while would'nt claim to be the ultimate expert, I have picked up a fair amount of knowledge. I am also a football fan, Ireland and Liverpool FC of course!. In past few years I swayed towards Barca after visiting Nou Camp. My other main interest is history. User:[[Djln|Djln--Djln 17:52, 2 November 2005 (UTC)]]

Hihi!

Hi, I'm Zoë, most info on me that anyone could be interested in is already on my User page so I'll not bore you with that here. I've been visiting Wikipedia for maybe a year now and decided to se if I could lend a hand whenever I have a bit of time, since I'm here so much.

Dzhatse

Greetings. I've finally decided to join Wikipedia after about a year of using it for my own informational needs. Although I'm not an expert in any one field (yet), I feel I have a good deal of general knowledge, as well as a knack for finding grammar and spelling mistakes. I have many interests, and thus will probably never get bored working here. Wikipedia is certainly a worthy cause, I am looking forward to contributing as much as I can and, I don't anticipate any trouble fitting in. --Dzhatse 02:23, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

ViolinGirl

Hi! I just joined Wikipedia as couple of days ago. I've been enjoying it a lot, so far, tried to help out as I could...please tell me if I've done anything wrong, or whatever. Anyway, I'm working on my BA through distance learning so I'm sure I'll be using Wikipedia a lot in the future.--ViolinGirl 00:45, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

DMS / Donna Smillie

Hi, Donna Smillie here. I've dipped into Wikipedia now and again as a result of Google searches, but only recently got into contributing. Lots of things I'm interested in, but my main area of expertise is what I do at work - advising on web accessibility. I also enjoy taking photos with my mobile phone, and if I find I can contribute a photograph to an article I'll happily do so. DMS 01:42, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

RoryBowman

I am a US computer guy a little south of British Columbia. I'm also a former schoolteacher concerned about the intellectual laxity that the Internet encourages, so wanting to do my bit (on the installment plan) to help build substantive and accurate tools. A bit skeptical about "social texts" in general, I see Wikipedia as the current best hope and appreciate the fact that it is inexpensive to the end-user, worldwide and accessible. So far I am impressed by what I see and how "many hands make light work." Rorybowman 02:26, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi. Merrill here, from Istanbul. Great concept, these wikis. I guess it's time to give back what I took from them. (All those school projects...) Anyway, have a nice day. FreakOfNature 13:42, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

KARL


“Karl, I hate to see you sitting in your big chair in front of your desk and spend hours looking out the window with that distant look in your beady eyes!”

“What do you want me to do, Mister President? Everyone is against me!”

“Well, you had it coming. You know, Doctor Phil always says that the fruit of self confidence is arrogance but that arrogance is really an expression of pusillanimity, whatever that is. He says that its unhappy results involve poor digestion and a touch of impotence. He also says that plotting and cooking up schemes taxes not only the brain but also darkens the soul, whichever comes first. Perhaps you should see a psychic doctor”

“You mean a psychiatrist.”

“Whatever. Besides you are running out of brilliant ideas and clever solutions. Even Scott McClellan comes up with good lies and beautiful smoke curtains. That kid is going places. But before the media notices your present condition we can perhaps arrange for an ambassadorship in some quiet place like Andorra, Burkina Faso or Belize where you can help the natives adopt freedom and democracy. You know, diplomatic status will probably keep you out of jail. .”

Old Karl listened to the Boss with some apprehension. He could not help feeling terribly jealous about Scott and disappointed that his razor sharp inventiveness seemed to have deserted him. Worse, he was about to be discarded like an old set of false teeth. Tears were already at the edge of his limpid orbs and he felt that another derogatory comment from the President, his idol, would produce an unstoppable flow of tears and another wave of heartache and anxiety. In a low voice he said:

“Is there anything you can do other than send me away?”

“How about a medal, Karl?” Astrous@comcast.net 19:42, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Moonstone

Hello.

I've posted my vital stats and whatnot on my user page. I've been contributing from various IP addresses for a while now, and so I figured I should get an account.

I first found Wikipedia through Google. I was researching stuff (for fun... I know, I do that).

Here 'tis.

Gigglesworth

Hey all,

I live in Berkeley, California, USA. I've been using the Internet since 1991 and have been really impressed by it's growth. Most of my contributions are minor and focus the Central & Northern regions of California.

I'm one of those old fogeys who thought that Wiki's were a passing fad. Wikipedia has proven me wrong, although some other Wikis have proven me right ;)
