User talk:Ginny Gilbert

Welcome[edit]

Hello, Ginny Gilbert, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you created appears to be an article about yourself. This is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

The five pillars of Wikipedia
Tutorial
How to edit a page and How to develop articles
How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Ginny, the above is a template and was the closest that I could find for your situation which kept me from having re-write all the pertinent information and links. I do welcome you to Wikipedia and hope that you take the points contained in the above template to heart even though they may not all be right on the mark about the article that you have written at User:Ginny Gilbert. Welcome again, Dismas|^(talk) 00:26, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
