"Where do I begin?"

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, that explains millions of things about the world, the people and things on it, and beyond. There are 2 ways to look things up in Wikipedia: by searching or by browsing...

If you know the name of the topic you are looking for, simply type it into Wikipedia's search box, press ↵ Enter, or click on the magnifying glass.

If you would like to look around Wikipedia to see what is on it, keep in mind that many major subjects have a root article on the Portal:Contents/Overviews page, and an outline listed at Portal:Contents/Outlines.

There are some other "Tables of Contents" type pages on Wikipedia. They are:

Wikipedia also has an alphabetical index of all of its articles, and a categorical index of most of them.

Est omnino difficile iudicare inclusionis meritum cuiusdam rei in encyclopædia cum ratio sciendi quid populi referat incerta sit, sed nihilominus aliquid encyclopædiam dedecet

It is generally difficult to judge the worthiness of a particular topic for inclusion in an encyclopedia considering that there is no certain way to know what interests people, but some topics nevertheless are not fit for an encyclopedia.

This motto reflects the desire of these Wikipedians to be reluctant, but not entirely unwilling, to remove articles from Wikipedia.

You are dearly missed-RIP

R.I.P.
From all of us

I received an e-mail today from Brookies family with the sad news that he passed away on Dec. 22, 2021. So long my friend, you will be missed. Not only your contributions were an inspiration, but you were always there when needed. Tony the Marine (talk) 16:01, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Dear Brookie, I was so sorry to hear of your passing today. And not without tears, despite our never having met. From the time, years ago, that I started contributing, you were so kind and understanding. You set up my user page, helped with templates, helped me get over some vindictive edits, and were always there with operational and ethical advice. Even after a gap of a few years, I was able to call upon you and you picked up right where you left off. Brookie, your expertise, support, kindliness and goodwill will be your legacy. Having left the building now, rest in peace. "We are stardust; we are golden." I will not forget you. FCleff (talk) 23:00, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:OldSeramporeCollege.jpg

[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:OldSeramporeCollege.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. plicit 00:49, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
