Hello, Ian Denny. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm Pigsonthewing, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.
Some pages of helpful information to get you started:
    Introduction to Wikipedia
    The five pillars of Wikipedia
    Editing tutorial
    How to edit a page
    Simplified Manual of Style
    The basics of Wikicode
    How to develop an article
    How to create an article
    Help pages
    What Wikipedia is not
Some common sense Do's and Don'ts:
    Do be bold
    Do assume good faith
    Do be civil
    Do keep cool!
    Do maintain a neutral point of view
    Don't spam
    Don't infringe copyright
    Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest
    Don't vandalize
    Don't get blocked
If you need further help, you can:
    Ask a question
or even:
    Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
    Fight vandalism
    Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
    Help contribute to articles
           
    Perform maintenance tasks
    Become a member of a project that interests you
    Help design new templates

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the   button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.

Shakes versus Shav

edit

It's great to see you've started editing. Do you have any references, which you could add to Shakes versus Shav, please? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:34, 27 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Have added two references. I think I can track down another one regarding the current whereabouts of the figures, will add as soon as I find it. Thank you for your work on tidying up the page which looks much better. --Ian Denny (talk) 00:50, 28 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
That's just the job, thank you. BTW, I've indented the replies here with colons - click "edit" to see how. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:45, 28 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
