Welcome[edit]
Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Manual of Style
Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Respect intellectual property rights - do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view - this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced to multiple reliable sources.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account or IP being blocked from editing.
The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Sandbox, not user page[edit]
Sorry, I did not see your user page before making comments in your help post. Anyway, you should consider using a user sandbox instead of your user page for draft articles. --DThomsen8 (talk) 12:38, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
Talk Page Additions[edit]
Talk page additions should be done by clicking on the + tab at the top of the page. That creates a new section at the bottom of the page. If you make a change elsewhere, the user may not see your addition without a search. I am somewhat over a thousand edits, but I still am learning. Also, you can respond to a new section by other editors on your talk page by a response on your talk page, with indenting done with the : (colon) character. Keep on editing, you will get better. --DThomsen8 (talk) 14:36, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
