User talk:Ttrumble

Welcome!

Hello Ttrumble, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

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

What's above is a stock welcome (which I didn't write). It's a little gushing, perhaps, but it is sincere -- you'll find that most people who edit on Wikipedia are happy to help -- maybe I should say anxious to help? -- newcomers, because there's a lot to be done and never enough people to do it.

As it says, if you want to ask a question, ask me or any other user on his or her talk page (click on talk, or put {{helpme}} here on your talk page.

You came to my attention because I watch all of the articles to which I have added photos. Thank you very much for your additions to the Youth's Companion Building. One of the things I like about Wikipedia is that you often learn unexpected things in unexpected ways.

However, I am about to touch up some of your changes. Don't take this personally -- or as something that happens just to newbies -- one of the frustrating things here that anything any of us writes will certainly be modified by others -- sometimes for the better, sometimes not. Most of the changes I am about to make to your additions are matters of style -- if you really don't like them, change them back. One change, however, is required. We do not have parallel articles on the same subject -- thus Youth's Companion Building and Pledge of Allegiance building cannot coexist. There is an easy solution, however, #REDIRECT [[Youth's Companion Building]], which will send anyone looking for the one name to the other name.

If you are interested in historic sites, you may wish to join Project National Register of Historic Places -- just add your name to the members' list. Thanks again for all your work so far and may it continue for a long time. . . . . Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk • contribs) 15:20, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
