Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ukexpat (talk) 03:10, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

status and advice[edit]

take a look at what I did at the Swaffham Prior railway station. Every RR station in the UK has information, and fits into an elaborate Wikipedia template, so go find it when you do an article. It doesn't usually work out well to create articles without references. If you have the information to write the article, you have it from somewhere. So say where. Articles without references are likely to get deleted. To avoid problems, I advise you to do this the moment you create the article. DGG (talk) 16:54, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A content policy reminder[edit]

Right below the edit field it says "Encyclopedic content must be verifiable.". This means, in part, that content that starts "I'm guessing […]" is wholly unacceptable. Don't guess. Provide verifiable information that readers can check against sources. Readers don't trust you, and have no reason to trust, nor gain anything useful from, your guesses.

Encyclopaedia content must be neutral and not original research, also. This means no little editorializations pushing your own personal views of events in railway history. Uncle G (talk) 05:07, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Uncle is right; and that has nothing to do whether he or I or anybody else agrees or disagrees with your editorialization. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:08, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
