Welcome!

Hi Briansnotes! I noticed your contributions to Thomas Breakwell and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

As you get started, you may find this short tutorial helpful:

Alternatively, the contributing to Wikipedia page covers the same topics.

If you have any questions, we have a friendly space where experienced editors can help you here:

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

P.S. I notice when I click on "Briansnotes" that I don't even have a user page; ok, it's another New Year's resolution to create one (sometime soon) -- if you've got any tips for that feel free to share 'em!

Yes that's a thing. Hardly necessary but if you want people who look you up in wikipedia to know about you yes that can be a thing. I suggest looking at histories of editors you like and look at their pages and then scale relative to your needs and circumstances. Smkolins (talk) 19:32, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Happy editing! Smkolins (talk) 18:32, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Smkolins, thanks a bunch for the assist, I have lots to learn!

My wiki-edits are infrequent and it hasn't been a habit to sign with those tildes, I'll do my best to add that in future. . . let's see if I can do it this time! ;-)

Btw, I notice you did a page on Maya Bohnhoff, she's a special lady in our community, we just saw her and Jeff and Amanda last week at Feast!

Thanks for all your service on these pages! Teacher Brian (talk) 19:25, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Welcome aboard and yes a learning curve. We all learn it. The signature stuff was not my entry on your page but yes it helps to 'sign' talk page comments like this. Smkolins (talk) 19:28, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Problem with your custom signature

You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:

1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
3. Remove anything in the Signature: text box. (It might already be empty.)
4. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:

1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
3. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thank you. 18:02, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
