Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already).

Your recent edits edit

  Hello.

When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (  or  ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 18:51, 19 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Farnsworth edit

I hope you don't mind, I have refactored your post at Talk:Morse code into its own section. The section you originally posted in is a years old discussion of article merging that was carried out long ago. A lot of those threads should be archived. I might just do that later.

Help edit

Does Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners help you? Dru of Id (talk) 18:17, 17 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
Basically you place the reference to whatever book/website you're using between <ref>...</ref> tags. Example:
Example sentence supported by a reference.[1]
Does that help? ~Adjwilley (talk) 04:31, 1 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Adding references can be easy edit

 
Just follow the steps 1, 2 and 3 as shown and fill in the details

Hello! Here's how to add references from reliable sources for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain the Wikipedia policy of verifiability.

Adding well formatted references is actually quite easy:

  1. While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "Cite". Click on it.
  2. Then click on "Templates".
  3. Choose the most appropriate template and fill in as many details as you can. This will add a well formatted reference that is helpful in case the web URL (or "website link") becomes inactive in the future.
  4. Click on Preview when you're done filling out the 'Cite (web/news/book/journal)' to make sure that the reference is correct.
  5. Click on Insert to insert the reference into your editing window content.
  6. Click on Show preview to Preview all your editing changes.
  • Before clicking on Save page, check that a References header   ==References==   is near the end of the article.
  • And check that   {{Reflist}}    is directly underneath that header.
7.  Click on Save page. ...and you've just added a complete reference to a Wikipedia article.

You can read more about this on Help:Edit toolbar or see this video File:RefTools.ogv.
Hope this helps, --Shearonink (talk) 04:53, 1 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Billy Ritchie (musician) edit

Re your comment, it's difficult to find a photo of Billy Ritchie that's separated from his two colleagues and is free for use. Still trying, will post you back if I have any luck. If you come across anything suitable, please add! Thank you Matthew.hartington (talk) 07:44, 20 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

September 2013 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Keith Emerson are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

  Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Roanoke Colony may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:
  • pages 2-6</ref><ref>^ a b Tiffany Leptuck, "Medical Attributes of 'Sassafras albidum' - Sassafras"], Kenneth M. Klemow, Ph.D., Wilkes-Barre University, 2003</ref>It has been argued by the research

October 2013 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:United States federal government shutdown of 2013 are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 17:15, 1 October 2013 (UTC)Reply


Your Behavior On Talk Pages edit

You seem to desire to use talk pages as your own personal soap box. Often your comments have nothing at all to do with improving the article and are increasingly hostile. You seem to have no desire to learn Wikipedia policy and procedures. You also fail to assume good faith in other editors and making all sorts of accusations of character. If you continue down this path you may soon find administrator intervention sought against you. You have been warned in the past and have chosen to simply remove the warning from your talk page.67.8.42.4 (talk) 03:06, 15 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

at least I signed my post..guess there`s no point to that on my own page — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lonepilgrim007 (talkcontribs) 00:56, 16 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

I second the IPs comments above. Any more of that nonsense and I'll be taking it straight to an admin. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (send... over) 02:31, 21 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
