Wikipedia Newbie edit
Submitted my first article edit today, messed it up, and it got fixed (by Bunchofgrapes) so I created an account so I could ask bog what I did wrong and how to fix it.
Welcome! edit
WELCOME!! Hello, Jgoulden! I want to personally welcome you on behalf of the Wikipedia community. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you haven't already, you can put yourself new user log and list of users so you can be properly introduced to everyone. Don't forget to be bold, and don't be afraid of hungry Wikipedians...there's a rule about not biting newcomers. Some other good links are the tutorial, how to edit a page, or if you're really stuck, see the help pages. If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a ♪ at my talk page...and again, welcome!--ViolinGirl♪ 20:38, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
November 2009 edit
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add content (particularly if you change facts and figures) , as you have to the article USS Mississippi (BB-41), please cite a reliable source for the content you're adding or changing. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -MBK004 17:41, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
Lol edit
I, for one, really like the summary, that you left, on the Star Trek II article, regarding commas. I really do enjoy seeing other editors of similar opinion! I have a quote that I enjoy pasted at the top of this page.
It has been a real struggle getting people to understand punctuation and the completely unnecessary addition of hundreds of commas in various articles, especially those who follow the "But when I read it out loud it sounds better" philosophy.
Apologies for the joke in the opening sentence btw :¬) Chaosdruid (talk) 23:32, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
November 2011 edit
Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Our Man Bashir, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. -- Doniago (talk) 14:59, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for April 26 edit
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Andrew Ellicott, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Natchez (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,

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.
