Hi, Mutum! Welcome to Wikipedia. Hope you enjoy it here and decided to stay. Very nice contributions on Manipur, etc. One thing you should note, though, is that Wikipedia is a collaborative effort. We all contribute by editing and adding to each other's work. Since there is no one author of any article, we do not sign our work. Thanks, and looking forward to seeing more great contributions from you. Danny 11:21, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Hi; please review Danny's message above. We don't sign articles here, and such references will only be removed. Thanks for your consideration. -- Hadal 09:50, 4 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Hi, Mutum, and a belated welcome to Wikipedia. Let me repeat what you've been told about linking to your user page in the article-- we don't do that here. Anyone who wants to can click on the "page history" to see who wrote what. A few other tips for you:
- Peruse Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers and associated pages, such as
- You can experiment in the Wikipedia:Sandbox.
- Sign talk page entries with ~~~~, which is automatically converted to a name and date.
- If you have any questions, see Wikipedia:Help, or you can a question to the Wikipedia:village pump.
- I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian Cheers, -- Infrogmation 15:24, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Please remember to put the article title in the first sentence and in bold. Thanks. Rmhermen 12:47, Jun 16, 2004 (UTC)
Thanks for the welcome guys. I am a great supporter of Wikipedia and have linked to it from several websites which I manage. Sorry, about the "signing" thing. Was not really aware of the rules. Thanks again. Dilip Mutum 04:07, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Himalayan pines
Hi Dilip - nice that you started Chir Pine and Khasi Pine, thanks! The reason I changed Khasi Pine to Sikang Pine, is that while Khasi Pine is a native of India, it is not native in the Himalaya, occurring from the Khasi Hills and Naga Hills southeast to Vietnam and the Philippines. Sikang Pine (Pinus densata) does not occur in India, but does occur in the Himalaya, just over the Chinese border in the Yarlung Zangbo gorge just north of Namcha Barwa (it prefers the drier climate in the rain shadow there). I'll start a new page for Pinus densata later today. The reason I changed to 'pines of the Himalaya' rather than 'pines of India' is that plants follow geographical features, not human political boundaries :-)
Do you by any chance have some photos of the pines you could add? That would be great. - Michael MPF 11:47, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Hi Dilip, thanks for the e-mail with the explanation. Good to hear you are safe after the earthquake disaster, it must be frightening to be so close - MPF 00:59, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
