Welcome to the Wikipedia

Welcome, newcomer!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:

First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
Learn about some of the Wikipedia landmarks by trying our Wikipedia scavenger hunt!
Remember to use a neutral point of view!
If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: ~~~~.

Best of luck, and have fun!

More welcome

Welcome from me too! One remark. HTML formulas are not necessarily bad, and should not be converted to TeX if they are inline, because inline images look worse than inline html. There is some discussion about this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics/Archive4(TeX) and Wikipedia:How to write a Wikipedia article on Mathematics.

By the way, you might consider putting Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics on your watchlist, as it is there where a lot of math talk takes place. There is also a list of participants to sign in. Welcome! Oleg Alexandrov 19:40, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Interior point methods

I was delighted when I saw that somebody started an article on interior point methods. I hope very much that you will expand on the article. Don't worry too much about style and conventions here; just write the text and you will see other people changing it to conform to Wikipedia style. Feel free to ask me any questions on my talk page, User talk:Jitse Niesen. I know a bit about IPMs, though mostly from a LP point of view. I would be most interested to read a bit about the Nemerovski-Nesterov theory. I saw that you spell the names as Nemerovskii and Nestrov; is that intentional?

Disambiguation link notification for April 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Världsbiblioteket, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Amerika (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:00, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
