Welcome

Greetings and welcome to Anarchopedia, the anarchist knowledge portal! I hope you enjoy our community and participate in our mutual work.

Here are some tips to get you started:

• If in doubt, be bold and do it in the way you think will help the most people.
• Many Wikipedia things apply, such as
  • To sign posts on "Talk/Discussion Pages" use '~' symbol. Use ~~~ (3 tildes) or ~~~~ (4 tildes) to insert your name or name and timestamp respectively.
• We, however, are not Wikipedia, and therefore expect wider range of articles. You can help by moving articles in danger of censorship from WP here.
• Please note that we try to keep our naming convention case sensitive. Examine the difference between moon and Moon, mercury and Mercury etc.
  • The first letter of categories is normally capitalised such as Category:Musical groups.
• If you copy the article from Wikipedia, please be aware, that although you can do that you must provide a reference. Do so by adding {{wikipedia|Name of the article on wikipedia.}} at the very end of your article.
  • For other datadumps see Category:Datadumps.
• Check out articles with downloadable files, Wikipedia would never allow such an expression of free exchange of ideas.

Some more information:

• To talk to other anarchopedians you can visit #anarchopedia on irc.indymedia.org (IRC server of Indymedia), or simply use their talk pages. Also check out syndicates.

Thank you for your time, comrade.  ~ User:Beta_M (VolodyA! V Anarhist) ^Talk 2008 January 27 08:24 _(UTC)

SysOp

Hi again, thanks for contributions, i've made you a sysop as it looks you were interested in improving our portal. Hope you will contribute constructively.  ~ User:Beta_M (VolodyA! V Anarhist) ^Talk 2008 January 27 08:26 _(UTC)

What is a sysop? Sorry to sound stupid. I do plan on contributing more to this wiki. --Grrrlriot 18:55, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

A sysop is a system operator ([1]. I thought everyone was a sysop here, so I don't know what Beta_M means. --Anonymity 05:26, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Anonymity for clearing that up for me. I thought everyone was a sysop too. --Grrrlriot 16:46, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

SysOps can delete and restore pages, they also see an '!' next to new and unmoderated edits on Special:Recentchanges, which helps to fight against spammers. But recently we got our spam problem under control through filters and such, so there is very little extra to do for the SysOp.  ~ User:Beta_M (VolodyA! V Anarhist) ^Talk 2008 January 28 07:51 _(UTC)

A SysOp is pretty much an admin or something like it, right? Thanks for making me a SysOp! I'm still a little confused about this because I thought everyone was a SysOp. --Grrrlriot 16:46, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
