- Dear E8, thank you for your welcoming advice. I'll spend some more time going through the above tutorials. I didn't know you could ask questions using 'helpme'. Amazing, really! Thanks again. E8. (UNguyinChina (talk) 13:29, 11 November 2010 (UTC))
- I am unaware of how to start wiki stubs in other languages. Hopefully you've found an solution for this already. If not, check WP:WSS or the stub maker's list.--E8 (talk) 06:02, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
Add date and time to signature
editHi UNguyinChina, it is convenient if you add date and time to your signatures on talk pages. If you sign with 4 tildes, ~~~~, this will automagically expand into your username and date/time. I perceive your contributions on DTP as very interesting. Best regards, Crowsnest (talk) 09:48, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you Crownsnest and E8, I understand the four tildes thing now. Very convenient indeed. There are so many more things I need to learn about wiki! I'm extremely impressed with wiki by the way, it's unbelievable. I'll be adding more emerging developments to the tidal power and dynamic tidal power pages. Thanks for all of your encouragement.

- Hi UNguyinChina, regarding emerging developments: please make sure they satisfy the Wikipedia demands with respect to reliable sources and relevance, see e.g. WP:RS and WP:PSTS. Publication in renowned newspapers, or in scientific journals/conferences, is in general needed with respect to additions on this subject. Best regards, Crowsnest (talk) 15:05, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you, Crownsnest. I'll make sure to include reliable sources. (UNguyinChina (talk) 00:52, 12 November 2010 (UTC))
