Welcome to Wikisource

Hello, SWilson (WMF), and welcome to Wikisource! Thank you for joining the project. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• Help pages, especially for proofreading
• Help:Beginner's guide to Wikisource
• Style guide
• Inclusion policy
• Wikisource:For Wikipedians

You may be interested in participating in

• Proofread of the Month
• Monthly Challenge
• Requested texts

Add the code {{active projects}}, {{PotM}} or {{Collaboration/MC}} to your page for current Wikisource projects.

You can put a brief description of your interests on your user page and contributions to another Wikimedia project, such as Wikipedia and Commons.

Have questions? Then please ask them at either

• Wikisource:Scriptorium; or
• Wikisource:Scriptorium/Help

I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikisource, the library that is free for everyone to use! In discussions, please "sign" your comments using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username if you're logged in (or IP address if you are not) and the date. If you need help, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question here (click edit) and place {{helpme}} before your question.

Again, welcome! }

Added entirely mischevously. React as appropriate! AuFCL (talk) 05:10, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks @AuFCL! hehe, I've also just been greeted with a flurry of "thanks for your first edit" notifications on various wikis. It's great! :) SWilson (WMF) (talk) 05:35, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

A rather large hint: make "yourself" autopatrolled, at the very least? AuFCL (talk) 05:50, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

In case I came across too grudging: welcome to the {{w:TINC}}! Now there is a test of the template set (which incidentally spectacularly failed.) AuFCL (talk) 06:00, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

No worries! :) I'm probably about as far out of the loop (what loop?) as is possible. You'll let me know where I'm going wrong won't you? SWilson (WMF) (talk) 06:39, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

A.k.a. the old joke: "First you take Manhattan, we'll take Kabul…". Same side, possibly (minorly) differing agendas? AuFCL (talk) 06:51, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
