Right then! Do you want to start with article creation or fighting vandalism? There are advanced tools you can get when you've been here longer but as a new user, you'll have to rely on the undo button. If you want to learn how to revert vandalism, just say so!

I've got things to do during the summer as well! I'll see you whenever.

I spell it as patronising (British spelling). You may spell it patronizing (which is the American spelling). Use whichever you want! I'll see you around! Oliver Fury, Esq. message • contributions 19:57, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Wikimarkup

I could be lazy and just show you this page but I'll try to be more helpful. However that page does contain it all. Have a quick read through that. If you want me to explain anything just ask. There will be a quiz afterwards :) Oliver Fury, Esq. message • contributions 17:04, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Customising signatures

Take a look User:OllieFury/signature/history to see all the sigs I have used. The coding for them can be seen when you edit the page. If I were you, I'd create a personal sandbox here: User:Tim Tebow Rocks!/sandbox. You can test edit all you want there. Copy and paste one of my signature codes to your sandbox and then play around! You can add internal links to your sigs. It's acceptable to have about three (user, user talk, contributions etc) links. You are not allowed to include images or external links. See here for the colour codes you need to add some colour. Use the hex codes you see in the table (6 numbers). Experiment all you want. When you are done, tell me and I'll show you how to use it.

Use whatever font you like. It should work. In future, can you leave message on this page please. And also, try to space out new messages. Use a new line and a colon (:) and your message will be indented. This is better than writing on a continous line. Thanks. Let's see that signature!
