Bharatpedia:Welcome template table

From Bharatpedia, an open encyclopedia

Below is a selection of welcome messages. A complete list, with most being slight variations of these, can be found at Bharatpedia:Welcoming committee/Welcome templates. For cut-and-paste welcome messages, see Bharatpedia:Standard user greeting. For more about the Welcoming Committee and how you can help, see Bharatpedia:Welcoming committee.

Note that the samples displayed below are not proportional. They'll appear wider and shorter when placed on a user's talk page. They conform to column-width, which is why they look elongated below.
