Welcome!

Hi TVguy74, and a warm welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Wikipedia? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!

Editing tutorial, learn to have fun with Wikipedia. Picture tutorial, instructions on uploading images. How to write a great article, to make it an featured article status. Manual of Style, how articles should be written.

Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :

RC Patrol - Keeping a lookout for vandalism. Cleanup - Help make unreadable articles readable. Requests - Wanted on WP, but hasn't been created. Merge - Combining duplicate articles into one. Wikiprojects - So many to join, so many to choose from...Take your pick!

Oh yes, don't forget to sign when you write on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments. And finally, if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Once again, welcome! =)

Soap articles

I'm glad you've started writing many articles for Guiding Light actors. I have a few tips for you, though.

1) Try to write in complete sentences. The one thing I saw the most was (so and so played this role on Guiding Light. A role he played from so and so to so and so). Starting the sentence with "a role" leaves it incomplete.

2) Try to put "born" inside the parentheses, like so: (born such and such date in Minneapolis)

3) Try not to get very fancrufty in how you write the actor biographies. It's the actor you're focusing on, not the character, so listing all the actresses to play Blake Thorpe Marler is not really relevant for an article on Elizabeth Keifer, and was edited out by me.

Other than that, your contributions are much-needed, and welcome! Mike H 00:36, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)
