Dear Mattcruise: Welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:

Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user talk (discussion) page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. A third option is to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator.

One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with four tildes (~~~~).

If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD!   -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 03:54, 22 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Edit summaries

edit

I saw your recent edits to Next but it took me a few minutes to work out what exactly you'd done and why, in the two edits. Although it's not required, if you could put summaries to edits, it really helps to just clarify what's changed, along with a brief reason. Obviously, if the reason is important, it can go in the talk page of the article. — metaprimer (talk) 11:50, 18 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Revert

edit

Sorry, but I had to revert your addition to David Miscavige. Under the rules for biographies of living people WP:BLP, all text not backed up with WP:RS reliable sources should be removed immediately (rather than just tagged). There was no cite that she was going to sue, and the coroner's report was a web page copy of a Usenet post. The rules can be annoying at times, but Scientology and critics alike have abide by them. And it means that the articles (usually) have pretty solid facts. You might try looking through books like A Piece of Blue Sky to see if there is anything in there.
