Willkommen / Welcome / Bienvenue / Bienvenido / Benvenuto!

Obviously, I don't understand German, or understand it at a basic level. This is a Welcome message to introduce myself to the German Wikipedia, with the most important places and departments I may want to consult.

• The embassy is perhaps the first place to go. There I can ask questions and get in touch with people who can translate your requests.
• The German equivalent of the “Village pump” is Questions about Wikipedia which can be used to ask questions and discuss matters of all kinds about Wikipedia. Feel free to ask questions in my preferred language, but questions in English will probably get the quickest responses as opposed to those asked in less common languages.
• Common requests: Request to usurp existing user accounts • Request a Bot flag.
• I am also welcome to participate in the multilingual Adopt-a-user program.
• For my user page: You might want to create your user page and put some babel boxes on it, so everyone knows what languages you speak. For example: “{{Babel|en|de-0}}” since I am a native English speaker, but speak no German at all.

How to help? One thing I could do is to improve this template (translate, fix errors, etc.), to help more contributors who do not speak German.

Once again, welcome! -- Dreadstar (Diskussion) 03:46, 3. Mär. 2012 (CET)
