Welcome!

Hello, BakLibHistColl, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some tips that you might find helpful:

Link to other articles with [[double square brackets]]
- Here are some articles where you can practice adding links to other articles. When you've got at least two blue links in the article you can remove the code {{Dead end|date=Month year}} from near the top of the page.
Add pictures from Wikimedia Commons using [[double square brackets with|thumb for thumbnail|Left, right or center so it knows where to go|a meaningful caption|alt=a description for blind people]]
- Example [[Image:Chocolate chip cookies.jpg|thumb|right|Wiki biscuits are guaranteed zero calories! ]]
- Click here for an exercise in adding images to articles.
Now you know how to add pictures to wikipedia articles, why not add your own? This shows you articles that are near you. Is there one without a picture or where you could take a much better picture? In many countries modern buildings are still protected by copyright, but otherwise, or in the UK, this is the upload page on Wikimedia Commons.
Add headings with ==double equal signs==
- If an article has sections two editors can edit different sections simultaneously without edit conflicts. Add enough sections and you get a contents section.
- Here are articles where you can practice adding sections when you've finished splitting an article into sections you can remove the code {{sections|date=Month year}} from the top of the page.
  - ===subheadings are similar===
When you add information to Wikipedia please sumamrize things in your own words, and tell us where you got the information from in the following format <ref>[The webpage, book or magazine you are citing, a description, the word "retrieved" and today's date]</ref>
If you find unreferenced information on Wikipedia that you consider dubious or unlikely, first try to reference it with a search on the internet. If you know it is wrong, correct it, if you can't find a source then {{fact}} adds the famous [citation needed]. If, after a week no-one has referenced the information, feel free to remove it.
''Double single quotes'' gives you Italic and '''triple quotes'' Bold.

Many Wikipedians organise themselves by subject area, we have hundreds of WikiProjects ranging from Arts to Zoology, and I'm sure there will be ones that fit your interests. A good place to look for them is Category:WikiProjects_by_area, alternatively look at the talkpages of articles you are interested in and see which Wikiprojects have placed templates there.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, visit The Teahouse, ask me on my talk page, or ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome!

Polaroid Corporation - Moved links

Hi there,

Thanks for the useful links you added to Polaroid Corporation.

I've moved their position from the start of the list as it usually makes sense to have the official site at the start (or most prominent position) in the list as was the case beforehand. Just thought you'd like to know; it's not a criticism of the links themselves which are a useful addition to the article.

Thanks again! Ubcule (talk) 09:49, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

PS... wow, you've been on Wikipedia for approaching five years and they only got round to giving you a "welcome" message yesterday? That's so late as to be silly, wouldn't you say? (^_^) Ubcule (talk) 09:52, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
