A belated welcome!

Sorry for the belated welcome, but the cookies are still warm!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Ciaran Sinclair. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! Closedmouth (talk) 15:08, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Re: A Canterlot Wedding

Well, we got it up to GA. Someone else things there isn't enough content on its production to make a FA though. However, if we get the production staff to spill the beans (Lean, mean, spleen, unclean, bean!), we might have a chance. ViperSnake151  Talk  05:20, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

POTD

Hi there,

Thanks for scheduling the POTD for July 2, but this photo was just promoted, and we have a long queue of photos before it can have its turn (the current wait time is about 2 years). Exceptions are made for historical anniversaries or subjects' birthdays, and sometimes if it's your first FP (when you are the photographer), but we generally discourage jumping the queue. For more details, please see Wikipedia:Picture of the day/Guidelines. If you are in fact interested in helping with scheduling the POTD, the queue's current position is at Wikipedia:Featured pictures thumbs 26 (almost done with this page, going to move to 27 soon). Thanks. —howcheng {chat} 23:24, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Oh, sorry. I read the guidelines in a rush and didn't notice anything about a queue. Ciaran Sinclair (talk) 11:01, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
