If you have any questions, you can ask them at the water cooler or to anyone on the Welcommittee, or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome!--Cspurrier 14:22, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Beast way is too start

If you want to start a portal for the Baha'i faith the best way is to start. After a while some more people will see it and join you in writing articles about Baha'i things. Creating a portal is easy (I could do it for you if you want) but you'd be alone in writing articles for the first bit. by the way the yahoo link you gave gives a 404.

okay, I created Portal:Bahá'í Faith. I'm using the accents because thats what the wikipedia article uses so I assume its the proper title, or something. (note: I know nothing about the Baha'i faith.) to get an article to apear in it, make an article, and add the following code to the bottom of it:

[[category:Baha'i]]
[[Category:Religion]]

OR...

goto Baha'i and type the article name in the inputbox at the bottom.

If you find any old articles that should be in there, tell me about it and i'll add them.Bawolff ☺☻ 04:33, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

By the way if you want to change something around and need help, don't be afraid to ask. Bawolff ☺☻ 00:09, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
