it's just a boilerplate to welcome new comers. But maybe you've worked at other Wikipedias for a long time! :) Cheers! --Samuel (Talk) 15:33 2004年1月4日 (UTC)

Thanks for the translation, that is what I thought. You need 2x more lines in English than in Chinese to say the same thing! Rob Hooft 16:04 2004年1月4日 (UTC)

Yeah! :) Chinese words usually consist of two characters while English more than 4 letters! :D Luckily, my English made sense to you! ^_^ --Samuel (Talk) 17:05 2004年1月4日 (UTC)
