Welcome edit

Welcome to Wikipedia! I've responded to your question at Wikipedia:New contributor's help page#Please help! - How to add to contents of a previously posted CD album title, but I wanted to stop by, welcome you, and give you a few links that might be helpful =].

  • The WP:NCH is great for asking questions. You can also get help by typing {{helpme}} right here on your talk page and someone will stop by to help you in about 10-15 minutes.
  • If you'd like, you can list yourself for "adoption" by an experienced user at Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User.
  • The sandbox is a place where you can make test edits.
  • The glossary is useful for looking up terms used by regular Wikipedia editors.
  • The Help:Contents page links to just about every help page.

If you are thinking about creating an article, I highly recommend you create a userspace draft first and then ask for advice at Wikipedia:Requests for feedback. This will help you avoid having an article deleted. The Article Wizard will also help you determine if your article is appropriate for Wikipedia.

Most importantly, don't be afraid to make mistakes; almost every problem is easily fixed here. I hope these links help! Welcome again, Liquidlucktalk 04:19, 21 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Take a Bow edit

No problem at all! The box on the side is called an infobox, and the one used in album articles is Template:Infobox album. Just copy and paste the code and fill in as many parameters as possible (don't guess on anything, wait until it is confirmed). You can keep the tracklist as it is or use Template:Tracklist- there's no requirement. If an official cover image is available, you can upload it as soon as your account is autoconfirmed.
Another trick that might help your article look better is wikilinking, which creates links to other Wikipedia articles. All you have to do is type double brackets around the phrase- for example, [[Greg Laswell]] creates Greg Laswell.
If you see something you like in another article, you can always click the "edit" tab to see how whatever it is was created, and then try to duplicate it. Good luck, and let me know if you need help! Liquidlucktalk 06:54, 21 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
