Welcome![edit]
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Simplified Manual of Style
Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Merton Rule[edit]
Don't worry about it. I dont think i'm wiki addict, but i do like to try and write stuff that hopefully people will find useful. You'll have to get used to there being a whole bunch of people, who as far as I can see don't actually write anything in articles, they do do other things that need to be done, but often don't bother thinking about it very carefully or researching things before they tag it for deletion or whatever Bjrobinson 09:56, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
- - oops, just one more thing, you not meant to change an article whilst its up for deletion i dont think. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sphilbrick (talk • contribs) 13:22, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
