MARMOT. Your proposed policy "Adminstators can't vote" is very hard to understand, largely because you have overused questions marks. For example, when you write "Judges can't vote in General Elections?" it's not clear if this is a question to which you want an answer (the answer is yes they can), or a statement (since you have put question marks after other statements) or an ironic comment (which would tend to argue against your proposal). Your proposal would be much better recieved if you went and tidied up the English. Thanks. ] 13:48, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hi MARMOT, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have. You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox. When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines. First, write from a neutral point of view, second, be bold in editing pages, and third, use wikiquette. Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.

Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me at my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing ~~~~.

Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! --Spangineer (háblame) 15:17, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)
