Welcome[edit]

Hi, MasteroftheWord. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person. You can talk to me right now. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. The tips below should help you to get started. Best of luck!

You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.

Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.

Play in your user area. For example, create User:MasteroftheWord/test.

Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.

When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Midnight Sun (Novel). Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. The Wordsmith_{(formerly known as Firestorm)}^Communicate 03:30, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Young-adult fiction, you will be blocked from editing. Andrea (talk) 05:55, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to New Moon (disambiguation). Alansohn (talk) 18:37, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
