Bonjour, je suis Cedalyon, rédacteur de Wikipédia.

Wikipédia est une formidable aventure collective, toujours en construction. La version francophone comporte aujourd'hui 2 617 798 articles, rédigés par des bénévoles comme vous et moi.

Wikipédia repose sur des principes fondateurs respectés par tous :

1. encyclopédisme et vérifiabilité (s'appuyer sur des sources reconnues),
2. neutralité de point de vue (pas de promotion),
3. licence libre et respect des droits d'auteurs (pas de copie ou plagiat),
4. savoir-vivre (politesse et consensus),
5. n'hésitez pas à modifier (l'historique conserve tout).

Vous êtes invité à découvrir tout cela plus en détail en consultant les liens dans l'encadré ci-contre →

Un livret d'aide à télécharger, reprenant l’essentiel à savoir, est également à votre disposition.

Je vous souhaite de prendre plaisir à lire ou à contribuer à Wikipédia. Si vous avez besoin de conseils ou d'aide, n’hésitez pas à me contacter, ou à laisser un message sur le forum des nouveaux.

À bientôt !

P.S. Vos nouveaux messages seront affichés en bas de cette page et signés par leur expéditeur. Pour lui répondre, cliquez sur sa signature (aide).

Et bienvenu sur le Projet:Drôme. Juste une petite chose : nous n'avons pas pour habitude, sur WP, de noter notre adresse e-mail en clair sur la page utilisateur. Elle est juste à noter dans les préférences, et les personnes désireuses de te contacter sauront utiliser « Envoyer un courriel ». Marianne Casamance (discuter) 2 avril 2014 à 18:21 (CEST)

Jury

Bonjour, merci de vous être inscrit en tant que jury pour la seconde édition de la Wiki-maintenance. Si vous avez des questions ou une remarque, n'hésitez pas à me contacter sur ma page de discussion. Cordialement.--Gratus (discuter) 29 avril 2014 à 10:50 (CEST)

Annonce de suppression de page

Bonjour, Tinoterramus, et bienvenue sur Wikipédia, l’encyclopédie libre et gratuite.

La page 8 Fablab Drôme ^{(page supprimée)} que vous avez créée vient d'être supprimée par l'administrateur Lomita avec le commentaire : « Ne répond pas aux critères d'admissibilité ».

Afin que toutes les informations contenues dans l’encyclopédie soient pertinentes, vérifiables et présentables avec neutralité, Wikipédia ne doit contenir que des articles qui peuvent être intégralement basés sur des sources indépendantes et suffisamment réputées.

Un artiste, une association, une entreprise, un produit, etc. doit donc avoir acquis une certaine notoriété avant qu’un article de Wikipédia puisse lui être consacré. Si c'est le cas, consultez cette page d'aide pour comprendre comment bien agir après la suppression de votre page. Après connaissance, préparez les liens adéquats (publications académiques, articles longs et détaillés parus dans la presse de référence) et déposez une requête sur « demande de restauration de page ».Ne recréez pas cette page vous-même. Si vous tentez de la recréer, elle sera automatiquement blanchie par Salebot.
