Welcome![edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia, DeanSoCal! Thank you for your contributions. I am Mr rnddude and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Wikipedia:Questions or type {{help me}} at the bottom of this page. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Mr rnddude (talk) 05:45, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The above is a template, let more personally welcome you. Thank you for that lovely wall of referenced text you put on Talk:List of Islamist terrorist attacks. I hope you stick around to contribute quite a few more of those. Have a nice day. Mr rnddude (talk) 05:47, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Trying to contribute in a documented way. The collected sources are what makes wikipedia so valuable. Still working on my html tags. 05:53, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

All good, I thought I'd mention, you can sign your name two ways, either typing up four tildes (~), or when using source editing there's a little button that automatically does it for you. It's next to the bolded words "Sign your posts on talk pages" in the header jut above where you type the edit summary. I mention this because five tildes (~) puts a date but no signature. For example (06:34, 5 July 2016 (UTC)), versus, Mr rnddude (talk) 06:34, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The tildes belong at the end of the message, when you click the button make sure that your cursor is still in the message box rather than the edit summary. Mr rnddude (talk) 06:58, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
