Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia!

We hope you like this place and decide to stay.

Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the Five pillars of Wikipedia and simplified ruleset.

If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library.

Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page.

Tass, Hungary

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. --Fire Star 01:28, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi,

Please don't create articles like Szentkirály. These articles will be deleted because they contain virtually no information. Thanks. – Alensha 寫 词 12:12, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletions

The majority of your recent contributions have been deleted under CSD A1: "Very short articles providing little or no context". I would suggest that you write the article first, then submit it to Wikipedia, rather than submit an empty article. --Fire Star 13:29, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Response

Well I was going to add more info to my articles later on, but since you deleted them, there won't be any articles to expand. If other users in Wikipedia don't value my work, then why should I contribute to it? If you delete what you don't like, I might as well go on and delete your articles. And that would not lead anywhere. So either you stop deleting my articles, or I will take it on yours. User:Edebundity

Perhaps I can explain. Creating an empty article and then working on it days later isn't the way things are done here. I am a Wikipedia administrator and I have the ability to remove articles that meet our criteria for deletion. I deleted a series of empty articles that met "CSD A1" which means articles with no content other than a title. Other articles you started, that at least had an explanatory sentence and a population figure, were left alone. If you want an article to survive, then you'll need to have at least some content for it first. We don't know that you or anyone will expand things later, so we have to deal with what we see, I'm afraid. You can build articles at the sandbox and then move them to the main space once they have some info attached. What I don't recommend is your removing content from Wikipedia simply for what you consider to be revenge. You don't have the ability to delete articles here, and if you remove content, it will be reverted by our RC patrol. Such removal is considered vandalism and will eventually get you blocked from editing if persisted in. Regards, --Fire Star 火星 20:24, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

OK. I see what you mean now. There is no guarantee that anyone will ever expand the articles that I started so you have to delete them. From now on I will try to start an article an finish it before I start another one. Thanks Fire Star. User:Edebundity

No problem. I should mention that when you get the info you need, the deleted articles can be easily re-created as well, the deletions aren't permanent. --Fire Star 火星 20:32, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Bács-Kiskun

Hi! Please fill the town template when you add it to an article. The data can be found at http://helynevtar.ksh.hu Also, please don't classify villages as towns, it should be called town only if it is officially a város in Hungarian. Thanks! – Alensha 寫 词 22:09, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

hi, I didn't know there was such a big difference between towns and villages. In English one can refer to any type of settlement as a town. Even if it has only a few hundred people in it, you say:"I'm going to town", not village. User:Edebundity 10:28pm May 7, 2006

Vandalism

If you notice vandalism somewhere in wikipedia (like on climate of Hungary) you should revert yourself without mentioning on the talk page. Simply go back to the last correct version of the article (under "History") and save it again. Welcome among Hungarian editors! :) Zello 14:52, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Re: geo-stub Question

Hi Eddie - you wrote: I've noticed that you removed the Europe-stub template from Bács-Kiskun and you said that it's not needed since Hungary is in Europe. So my question is why is there a European geography stub template when the continent is divided up in different countries? What is there in the geography of Europe that doesn't have anything to do with seperate countries?

Well, there are two reasons. Firstly, some European countries have so few stubs that it's not really viable for them to have separate geo-stub categories (San Marino has only about eight geo-stubs, for instance, and Monaco has four) - usually 60 stubs is seen as the optimum number before a new stub category is created. Secondly, there are some geographical items that cross so many national boundaries that we'd end up with a dozen different stub templates if we didn't have an overall {{Euro-geo-stub}}. How would something like E9 European Coastal Path be dealt with, for instance? Grutness...wha? 01:13, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
