Welcome to the Wikipedia[edit]

Welcome, newcomer!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:

First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
Remember to use a neutral point of view!
If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:

Celebrity Rehab[edit]

Hi. Please see WP:Citing Sources#How to format and place citations for how to use ref tags to properly format sources as so that they appear in an article's References section. It also shows you how to use the ref name tag in order to cite a source multiple times, so that you don't have to write it out four separate times.

In addition, it's not appropriate to add that material to the middle of the section on Reaction to the program, since the source does not make any mention of criticism or praise of the show, as this would violate WP:SYNTH. Conaway and Starr's deaths are already mentioned further down in the article, though I added the Guardian story to the passage about Conaway's passing, in order to mention the point about him being the second castmate to die this year.

BP spill - your request[edit]

Hi, I'm a bit confused about your request re Marshall Islands and this ref. At this point, can you add it yourself? If not, tell me where you wanted the ref to go and I can add it. petrarchan47^T c 02:48, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Yes Theory[edit]

Jwslubbock asked if this was ready to go live, over the locked page; I looked over it and concurred, and I've just put it into place at Yes Theory.

I cut a pile of stuff that read more like a press release than a Wikipedia article - but it's still in the history, so the references and so on can be retrieved - David Gerard (talk) 18:07, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks David, much appreciated.

I was trying to ensure that it met the Wikipedia criteria for notability, as it has fallen foul if that criteria in the past.

Your help is much appreciated. I’m sure the Wikipedia community will help build it up in an appopriate manner.
