Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm Paine Ellsworth, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge. Although you're free to perform most tasks on Wikipedia without registering, it's highly recommended you create an account as there are many added benefits. It's private and secure and it's also free, simple, and quick to do.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:
  Introduction to Wikipedia
  The five pillars of Wikipedia
  Editing tutorial
  How to edit a page
  Simplified Manual of Style
  The basics of Wikicode
  How to develop an article
  How to create an article
  Help pages
  What Wikipedia is not
Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:
  Do be bold
  Do assume good faith
  Do be civil
  Do keep cool!
  Do maintain a neutral point of view
  Don't spam
  Don't infringe copyright
  Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest
  Don't commit vandalism
  Don't get blocked
If you need further help, you can:
  Ask a question
or you can:
  Get help at the Teahouse
or even:
  Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
  Fight vandalism
  Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
  Help contribute to articles
           
  Perform maintenance tasks
  Become a member of a project that interests you
  Help design new templates

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your IP address linked to your contributions page (however, if you create an account, your IP address will be hidden and you will be able to build a custom signature that can link to your own user page), a link to this (this IP's talk) page, and a timestamp.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. If you register an account, you can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you could put a link to it on your user page.

Information icon Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Materialscientist (talk) 21:46, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

September 2016

[edit]

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Rockstar Games. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Ⓩⓟⓟⓘⓧ (talk) 22:18, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm Eteethan. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Guitar Center— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Information icon Please do not add or change content, as you did at Synchrony Financial, without citing a reliable source.

First lady

[edit]

Good point. Gender-neutral i.e. First spouse? But then if we elect a same-sex couple? First partner or First home-maker? ;oP Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 01:46, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever the term becomes, it will be interesting. BTW: This is Bill Clinton. How about "First ladies' man" /snark. BTW: try wp:notifications i.e. {{ping|Jim1138}} Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 02:08, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

October 2016

[edit]

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Lakelands Park Middle School, you may be blocked from editing. Just Chilling (talk) 23:06, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Tick Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! 80.221.159.67 (talk) 02:48, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

I removed "silverback" from your infobox addition. A silverback is a dominate male, not a breed. I am not sure what species of gorilla Michael was. You might want to change the species to something else. See gorilla#Evolution and classification. If my poor memory serves me, was probably a western lowland gorilla or mountain gorilla Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 01:32, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

MS-13

[edit]
