Welcome[edit]

Hello Q Canuck and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you've chosen to join us. This is a great project with lots of dedicated people, which might seem intimidating at times, but don't let anything discourage you. Be bold!, explore, and contribute. If you want to learn more,

Wikipedia:Bootcamp teaches you the basics quickly,
Wikipedia:Tutorial is more in-depth, and
Wikipedia:Topical index is exhaustive.

Float around for awhile until you find something that tickles your fancy. One easy way to do this is to hit the random page button in the navigation bar to the left. There are also many great committees and groups that focus on particular jobs. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki projects that you might enjoy.

There are a few crucial points to keep in mind when editing. Be civil with users, strive to maintain a neutral point of view, verify your information, and show good etiquette like signing your comments with four tildes. If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask me anything on my talk page or ask the true experts at Wikipedia:Help desk. Again, welcome! --so U m y a S ch 14:02, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your experience[edit]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:MMR_vaccine#Question answer. Also, welcome. You received one tangential answer for which it is relevant to point out to you the RFCs on the site concerned, at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Whaleto and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Ombudsman Midgley 10:05, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dromore Castle[edit]

Hey, thanks for adding categories to the article I just created at Dromore Castle. Having written the article, I just went away to make a cup of tea. I was very pleased when I returned that the article had been categorised already, saving me a bit of a tedious job. (I spend a fair bit of time going through articles categorising marked "cat needed" myself, although I really can't pretend I enjoy it.) Anyway, once again, thanks, very efficient :) Robotforaday 21:16, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I was browsing through Recentchanges, and figured I could help improve an article :). --Q Canuck 22:37, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Birth Certificate[edit]

Hi! I noticed you copied the content of Birth certificate into a new article, Birth Certificate. Two things:

The proper way to move a page is with the 'move' button (at the top of a page, beside 'history'). Moving a page this way preserves the edit history (very important for licensing issues!). It also automatically generates a redirect from the old page.
This article should be at the original title, because "birth certificate" isn't a proper noun (see Wikipedia:Naming_conventions#Lowercase second and subsequent_words).

Thanks. --Q Canuck 18:35, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

I suggest you change Death Certificate. That one isn't the same as Birth certificate and Marriage Certificate —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Barbara Shack (talk • contribs) 18:45, September 20, 2006 (UTC).

I changed Marriage certificate back. Death Certificate is about a rap album, and mentions the article Death certificate at the top. --Q Canuck 19:03, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
