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 copyrights – 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.
- No edit warring and sockpuppetry.
- 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.
- Lastly, if you are editing an article about an individual or group of people, please adhere to Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy.
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!
Hello...?
editI'm sure you can appreciate my question, considering your contributions history. Have you previously edited Wikipedia using a different account name? Please feel free to email me if the answer is confidential for whatever reason. Regards, SHEFFIELDSTEELTALK 16:47, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
No, this is my first account. Is there something wrong with my contributions history? Natalie Ann Ciappa (talk) 16:50, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
- It's just that you seem to have a very intimate knowledge of the workings of Wikipedia for a new editor. You're making edits in areas that most editors do not touch for years, if at all.
- Perhaps you could also comment on your selection of user name. SHEFFIELDSTEELTALK 16:53, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
- I have been reading Wikipedia for years. It's just a random name that I picked. Am I violating the user name policy? Natalie Ann Ciappa (talk) 16:58, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
- Natalie Ann Ciappa is a dead person who was subject to a lot of press maybe 18 months ago.--Milowent (talk) 17:30, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
- Should I change my user name? Natalie Ann Ciappa (talk) 17:35, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
