Jonathan McCarthy

Hello, Jonathan McCarthy, and Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you enjoy the encyclopedia and want to stay. As a first step, you may wish to read the Introduction.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me at my talk page – I'm happy to help. Or, you can ask your question at the New contributors' help page.

Here are some more resources to help you as you explore and contribute to the world's largest encyclopedia...

Finding your way around:

• Table of contents / Department directory

• The Wikipedia Adventure (a tutorial orienting you with Wikipedia)

Need help?

• Questions – a guide on where to ask questions
• Cheatsheet – quick reference on Wikipedia's mark-up codes
• Wikipedia's 5 pillars – an overview of Wikipedia's foundations

Additional tips...

• Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). The or button, on the tool bar above Wikipedia's text editing window, also does this.
• If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills without changing the mainspace, the Sandbox is for you.

Questions

Q - Is there a way I could get it listed for deletion?

A - Yes, simply put {{db-u1}} at the top of your userpage

Q - HOW DO YOU MAKE A USER PAGE?!

A- You already do have your userpage – User:Jonathan McCarthy

and at last, vandalizing is never a good idea, cheers! — RainFall^Hey! 03:01, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks! Only a joke, though! Vandalism was never the plan. Don't even want it deleted either! Thanks anyway! Jonathan McCarthy (talk) 03:04, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Chad Mendes has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. Please use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did, and feel free to use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do. Thank you.
