- 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!

Joint issue
editI see you are updating and expanding Joint issue. It is nice to see someone with the interest to do this. Well done. However, it would be good if you could add some citations for the entries you make and this verifies the facts. Try to use the fully filled out citation templates you will find on this page. Good luck. ww2censor (talk) 21:49, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
- On another point, do you really think that a date of issue column is really necessary? We are not a stamp catalogue, so such details are really not important. However, what is more important to provide sources for you entries, if at all possible, such as the catalogue details or a reliable source website, using a citation template like one of these as appropriate. I did some format tidying for you. Cheers ww2censor (talk) 16:04, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
- Having the date of issue is most valuable when a collector is using this as a source document. Without a catalog #, the Date of Issue makes it easier for the collector to cross-reference the wikipedia entry with a catalog or album. Having the date makes the information more usable and this information more valuable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jazzfan911 (talk • contribs) 20:32, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
- We are not a source document but an encyclopaedia and as I stated we are also not a catalogue, see WP:NOT, so do not need to have all such details to make it convenient for collectors to cross reference. If they are interested they can consult the cited references which you should add for the entries. Use of catalogue numbers, especially any extensive use, is a copyright violation because the numbering systems are copyright. You don"t need to start a new discussion on my talk page which is why I moved it back here to keep it all in one place. Just drop me a {{talkback}} to let me know you have responded. BTW, please sign your discussions by adding four tildes, like this ~~~~ to you posts on talk pages. That way one can easily link back to you and your talk page; without it one has to search for you. It is commnon wiki courtesy. Good luck. ww2censor (talk) 07:16, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
- You still have not addressed either issue I mentioned above: dates are unnecessary and citations are necessary. ww2censor (talk) 22:27, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 6
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Joint issue, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pandas (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
