Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin contributing on Wikipedia:

Additional points to note Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites. Maintain a neutral point of view – this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy. Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced to multiple reliable sources. No edit warring and sockpuppetry. If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so. Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account or IP being blocked from editing. Lastly, if you are editing an article about an individual or group of people, please adhere to Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Yaroslavl Global Policy Forum. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Fæ (talk) 15:55, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Links

A wikilink is a link to another article on wikipedia, such as [[Sausage]], [[Bob Geldoff]], [[WP:SPIDER]] or [[User:Izdezine/You R A Creator]]. If you type that code, it appears as: Sausage, Bob Geldoff, WP:SPIDER or User:Izdezine/You R A Creator.

An external link is a link to another website, such as [http://www.google.com Google], [http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com tea], [http://www.badgerbadgerbadger.com Badger] - and that will appear like this: Google, tea, Badger.

You should not use any external links within the article. External links should only be used as either references (to allow the reader to verify the facts), or - in very limited cases - as external links. --Fæ (talk) 16:08, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Your addition to Yaroslavl has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. I'm sorry that this is a bit of a harsh message for a newcomer, but I found out that your recent edit added copyrighted material. You seem to have added the text from http://en.gpf-yaroslavl.ru/about/place. Minimac (talk) 11:54, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
