Welcome to Wikipedia!
editHello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might like to see:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- Simplified Manual of Style
- Intuitive guide to Wikipedia
You are welcome to continue editing without logging in, but you may want to consider creating an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits such as the ability to create articles. For a full outline and explanation of the benefits that come with creating an account, please see this page. If you edit without a username, your IP address (146.137.70.71) is used to identify you instead.
In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on this page. Again, welcome!

Conflict of interest?
editIf you are Elizabeth. Austin, as your edit summary on her article suggests, then per WP:COI it is recommended that rather than directly editing the article, you should request changes on the article's talk page, and other editors can make them, without there being a conflict of interest. reliable sources, rather than personal knowledge, are needed to support statements about living persons, per the policy on biographies of living persons. Before deleting reliably sourced text, please seek a consensus on the article's talk page. Regards, from the creator of the article. Edison (talk) 06:09, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm John of Reading. An edit that you recently made to Portal:Energy seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! John of Reading (talk) 21:08, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

editSome of your edits on the page August 30 have been undone by PseudoBot, a robot built to keep the date pages tidy. The problems are:
- No Wikipedia page has been linked to.
If a Wikipedia page for the person already exists, add a link to it (by putting it in doubled square brackets [[Like this]]) and try again. If it doesn't yet exist, read this page carefully before creating it. In particular, you shouldn't create a page about yourself or anyone you know personally. If this bot has got it wrong (as can unfortunately happen), please accept its author's apologies, and (if you would like) leave a message on this talk page with the details, so it can be improved. Please see this page for help. PseudoBot (talk) 14:23, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
