This is your Talk page where you can receive messages from other Wikipedians and discuss things with them. At the end of your messages you must put your signature by signing with four ~~~~ (just as I have done) or by pressing the button in the editor bar as shown here in the picture. By the way, you don't need to sign edits that you make in the articles themselves as those messages will be deleted. Another valuable page that may provide information and assistance is User:Persian Poet Gal/"How-To" Guide to Wikipedia. My name is Buster7. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance and contact information. Good Luck editing!

Hello! Jessegranger, welcome to the English Wikipedia! I’d like to invite you to join other new editors and friendly hosts at the Teahouse. There you can meet people, ask questions and learn more about the English Wikipedia. Please take a look! You can also ask me any questions about editing—just click on the green "(talk)" link. Your edits suggest you may wish to join our military history wikiproject. Let me know if I can help. Tony (talk) 09:14, 13 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

I've reverted your edits, for reasons I lay out on the talk page. Please join the discussion there. Buckshot06 (talk) 10:45, 13 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Buckshot's points may or may not be valid; I've left a note at that talk page suggesting s/he convey their message in a more measured way. If you don't agree with any of the points, you're welcome to post below him to present counterarguments. Otherwise, read, absorb, and move on. Please keep up your editing.
