Some cookies to welcome you!  

Welcome to Wikipedia, AnnaInDC! I am CordeliaNaismith and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Hi AnnaInDc, Thanks for your note. A couple of editing tips that might perhaps be useful for you:

  • To automatically sign your name after writing a post on a user talk page or an article talk page, place four tildes after your note (~~~~).
  • To make a new section header on a page, enclose the text that you want to enlarge in equals signs (==Section Header==). For a subsection, use three equals signs: (===Subsection Header===).
  • To cite sources in your article, put the citation between <ref> tags: (<ref>Your citation here</ref>). Then, create a References section at the end of your article, like this:

==References==
{{Reflist}} . (There are also templates that you can use to automatically format your references nicely; see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners if you're interested).

Hope that helps, and please let me know if you have any questions! Cheers, CordeliaNaismith (talk) 15:57, 14 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
