Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome! My name is Sross (Public Policy), and I'm one of the online ambassadors, a group of experienced Wikipedians who offer mentorship to newcomers. You don't need to read anything; you can just jump right in and try to improve Wikipedia. If you need help, you can talk with us right now, or can leave me a message on my user talk page. Have fun!

PS: Try using edit summaries whenever you make edits; it makes it easier to keep track of what you've done, and is generally considered polite on Wikipedia. Cheers--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 18:21, 17 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Kic. Your new information in this article is excellent, but your references are incomplete. You can fill them out by adding the name of the author, title of the article, publisher name, date and access date, like this: <ref>Lincoln, Abraham. [url "Gettysburg Address"]. Constitutional Publishing (1863), accessed November 29, 2010</ref> If there is no url, give page number. See WP:CITE for more information. Let me know if you have any further questions. -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:17, 29 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
