Welcome[edit]

Hi, Escuincla. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person. You can talk to me right now. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. The tips below should help you to get started. Best of luck!

You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.

Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.

Play in your user area. For example, create User:Escuincla/test.

Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.

When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

Adoption[edit]

If you are interested, I am currently looking for an Adoptee. I have been editing for about a year and a half, but I have never adopted anyone before. If you want to find out more about me, check out my user page or my userboxes. strdst_grl (call me Stardust) 15:45, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for accepting my offer! I'll do my best to help you out. Firstly, as a rule, edit summaries are always good - sometimes they aren't completely neccessary, but it's never rude to use one. As for your editing problems, if you leave a message at User:Strdst grl/adoption describing precisely what you want to do, I'll talk you through it. strdst_grl (call me Stardust) 16:20, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Escuincla. I'm glad you found an adoptee. Great job on your article by the way. I made one fix to the categories, but other than that it looks great. Just let me know if you ever have a question. I'm sure Strdst_grl will be glad to help too. Happy editing! Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 16:29, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Xico/Valle de Chalco[edit]

its been problematic for some time in Wikiproject:Mexico how we should handle towns/cities versus municipality... esp in Edomex were city and municipality are coextensive in a number of places. I was aware that no one calls the city Xico, but since I had been setting up the town/muncipality pages under the town name, I used Xico to continue the pattern. I have no problem if you redirect everything to the new page and add information! Maybe some pics too. You work a lot on Mexico articles?Thelmadatter (talk) 20:56, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent! We need more Wikipedia addicts for Mexico! I had no idea just how much cool stuff there was here until I moved to central Mexico 6 years ago. And Im ashamed to admit I lived in Arizona 11 years before that. *blush* Havent made it to Irapuato yet (except passing through on buses) I now work mostly on DF, esp. Centro Historico articles.
