Willkommen / Welcome / Bienvenue / Bienvenido / Benvenuto!

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

• The embassy is perhaps the first place to go. There you 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 in your favorite language, but consider that you might get quicker answers if you ask in English, than if you ask in less common languages.
• Common requests: Request to usurp existing user accounts • Request a Bot flag.
• You are also welcome to participate in the multilingual Adopt-a-user program.
• For your 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}}” if you are a native English speaker, but speak no German at all.

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

Once again, welcome! --Church of emacs D B 21:16, 30. Jan. 2010 (CET)
