You can sign your name on talk pages and votes by typing ~~~~; our software automatically converts it to your username and the date. Also, if you don't want to jump right into editing articles right now, why not check out the sandbox? Feel free to make test edits there.

I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian. Although we all make mistakes, please keep in mind what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or problems, leave me a message on my talk page, and I'll try my best to help. Otherwise, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

We hope you stick around, and make sure you enjoy yourself! Cheers, riana_dzast a 13:06, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all! :) You're doing well - I hope you're enjoying yourself here. riana_dzast a 22:22, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Vanillagorillas (that's such a cool handle, by the way... ), I noticed you contribute a lot without providing an edit summary. Providing an adequate edit summary makes life a lot easier for other contributors - just a quick summary of what you've added to/removed from an article is sufficient to let other editors know that you're not trying to sneak things past them. This isn't a disciplinary comment, just a friendly request :) Keep up the good work! riana_dzasta 15:51, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Links[edit]

Hi, just a little hint about links, you don't need to pipe everything, only when you want it to say something different, and you can replace the underlines by actual spaces, and other symbols by their actual symbols. For instance, you linked [[general_aviation|general aviation]] in Brampton, Ontario, when you can just link [[general aviation]]. Lexicon (talk) 17:52, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
