This is a simple piece of text that can be used as the basis of a welcome message to an anonymous user:

Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia.

Thank you for your recent contributions. Please

consider creating an account and

logging-in, which has

many benefits. In

the meantime, here are some useful links if you need any help:

*How to edit a page

*How to write a great article

*Manual of Style

*What Wikipedia is not

Again, welcome. ~~~~

Other links that might need to be highlighted to anon's:



*Naming conventions


*Neutral point of view policy

Message for anonymous authors of vanity or non-noteworthy articles, probably most usefull when incorporated into the welcome message:

(Note that this is similar to the {{vanity|XXX-XXX}} template.)



The content of XXX-XXX was not sufficently noteworthy to


merit an article on Wikipedia, and was removed. We


welcome newcomers, and


encourage you to become a Wikipedian. By creating an account and logging in, you are


entitled to a personal user page into which


that article's content could be incorporated. However, a subject


must be notable to merit inclusion in the actual encyclopedia. ~~~~

Notice of copyright/license terms to anon:



The content of XXX-XXX appeared to violate the copyright


of [XXX-XXX], and was removed. We


welcome newcomers, and


encourage you to create an account and


become a Wikipedian.  However, we


can not tolerate the inclusion of copyrighted material


without permission to distribute it under our


usual license terms. ~~~~

Note about an "anti-vanity" contribution:



The content of XXX-XXX appeared to be a personal attack


which this violates wikipedia's rules, and was deleted. Please


do not continue personal attacks here, or you will


be blocked from editing. ~~~~

These two are primarily a warning for link/ad spammers:



Welcome to Wikipedia, but


it is not a link farm.  Please


stop spamming Wikipedia with external links.  Thanks.  ~~~~





Welcome to Wikipedia, but


it is not not a medium


for advertisments - this is considered to be spam.  Please


stop spamming Wikipedia.  Thanks.  ~~~~

And, a less friendly second warning:



Please stop adding spam to Wikipedia - it is considered


vandalism.  If you continue to vandalize pages, you will


be blocked from editing. ~~~~

This is a message to request that foreign text isn't added into EN:



Welcome to the English-language


Wikipedia.  Please do not add foreign text here. It will


be deleted. You should contribute it to the


[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias appropriate language's wikipedia]


instead.  Thank you. ~~~~

Request for edit summaries:



Hello. Thanks for your contributions, but as a courtesy to


other editors please start adding


edit summaries.  Even something


short like "fmt" or "wikify"


is good. ~~~~

Some text to occassionally add into the welcome message:



I would like to encourage you to use the "Show Preview" button


while editting.  It helps to prevent the article history


becoming littered with minor and poor quality edits.



You can sign your name on talk pages and votes by typing


four tildes, i.e., "~~~~"; the software


automatically converts it to your username and the date.
