Welcome![edit]

Hello, Joshua0228, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits to the page Mick Jagger have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

February 2015[edit]

Hello, I'm C.Fred. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Mick Jagger, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 03:21, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Joshua0228! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. Be our guest at the Teahouse! The Teahouse is a friendly space where new editors can ask questions about contributing to Wikipedia and get help from peers and experienced editors. I hope to see you there! Soni (I'm a Teahouse host)

Hi there - just a heads up that I have moved your recent question at the Teahouse from the bottom of the page to the top. Most talk pages require that new discussions be placed at the bottom of the page. At the Teahouse, however, new questions are placed at the top to maximize visibility. Thanks! ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 16:59, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

February 2015[edit]

Please refrain from changing genres, as you did to The Rolling Stones, without providing a source or establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first. Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive. Thank you. Mlpearc (open channel) 18:42, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits[edit]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 04:54, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Messaging Other Users[edit]

Please be sure to message other users using their talk pages, and not their user pages. For example, to contact me you would leave a message on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Deunanknute. Welcome to Wikipedia. Deunanknute (talk) 05:58, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, that is true. Was about to leave a message to inform you about this, but I see someone else already have. Darylgolden^(talk) Ping when replying 07:50, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Another tip: leave new messages on other people's talk pages at the bottom :) Darylgolden^(talk) Ping when replying 14:29, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yet another tip: please substitute the welcome template, by placing subst: in front of it. So it would be {{subst:Welcome}}, not {{Welcome}}. This is helpful because new users may get confused by the template. Thanks! Darylgolden^(talk) Ping when replying 23:42, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Few other random tips[edit]

Hi Joshua0228, you're doing quite well so far! Here are a few more random tips.

Use internal links (bracket the page name with two square brackets like [[this]].
Use WP:Twinkle to make things a lot easier.
