Hello, Bongilles. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm Wuerzele, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:
  Introduction to Wikipedia
  The five pillars of Wikipedia
  Editing tutorial
  How to edit a page
  Simplified Manual of Style
  The basics of Wikicode
  How to develop an article
  How to create an article

  What Wikipedia is not
Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:
  Do be bold
  Do assume good faith
  Do be civil
  Do keep cool!
  Do maintain a neutral point of view
  Don't spam
  Don't infringe copyright
  Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest
  Don't commit vandalism
  Don't get blocked
If you need further help, you can:
  Ask a question
or you can:
  Get help at the Teahouse
or even:
  Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
  Fight vandalism
  Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
  Help contribute to articles
           
  Perform maintenance tasks
  Become a member of a project that interests you
  Help design new templates

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Thanks Wuerzele!

COIN for Henry I. Miller

[edit]

I started Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#Henry_I._Miller. That user has never edited anything but that article, and never responds to talk page threads. Meters (talk) 00:20, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Meters, I couldnt agree more and dont know why I didnt do that years ago...--Wuerzele (talk) 02:34, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Meters. I do agree as well. I have to say that I don't have much experience about editing Wikipedia. How does it work now? Should we vote, or express our agreement on the page Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#Henry_I._Miller? --Bongilles (talk) 08:41, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The COIN is a request for a consensus decision (not a vote) that a particular user has a conflict of interest and, if necessary, a discussion of the suitability of edits that the user has made. Since he restored his last set of edits without responding to the talk page thread it seemed appropriate to start the COIN. Your input on the COIN would be welcome.

Meters wohaw I dont know what prompts your language above, since I am not a a newbie and I did input. you are welcome.--Wuerzele (talk) 23:47, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Wuerzele I don't know what you mean. I left a polite response to a new user's (Bongilles) question. It had nothing to do with your post. And despite what you wrote. you have not contributed anything to Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#Henry_I._Miller. You started a discussion on the article's talk page, but the COIN is something entirely different. Meters (talk) 01:21, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
