Welcome![edit]

Hello, Davidhorne, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at the Guide to Layout, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my New-Users' Talk Page.

Additional tips:

Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:

If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills, try the Sandbox.
Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
You might want to add yourself to the New User Log
If your first language isn't English, try Wikipedia:Contributing to articles outside your native language
Full details on Wikipedia style can be found in the Manual of Style.

There's also a regular group introduction to Wikipedia for new users on IRC.

Happy editing!

User page[edit]

I've moved the link to your own Web page to your Wikipedia User page. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 23:08, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've again moved the article that you created at David Horne to your user page. we don't, I'm afraid, allow autobiographical articles on Wikipedia. The place to let others know about you is your User page. You should also avoid placing references to yourself in other articles. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:57, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about the anomalies; the trouble is that when people begin adding material about themselves to articles, it's often easy to remove too much. As for other problems with the articles, I didn't look; when dealing with one issue, you tend only to look at that particular bit of the article, otherwise what starts as a simple job turns into a massive one. I'll have another look now, though. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 17:07, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
