User talk:Cooperative Guy
Welcome new user
[edit]Hello, User:Cooperative Guy, I see you opened an account last year and have begun to make edits to the encyclopaedia. You are most welcome and thank you for the constructive edits you have made so far .
I'm Lumos3, one of the numerous editors who voluntarily work as a welcomer to newcomers. I see you say you read Wikipedia a lot but seldom make edits. By way of encouragement I'm posting below a standard welcome box with lots of useful links. I hope you continue to get pleasure from reading and editing and help to make Wikipedia an even better resource for the community.
Wikipedia encourages new members to jump in and make corrections and contributions to articles. I found the Be bold guideline particularly encouraging when I was getting started. I also found the Wikipedia:Cheatsheet a useful quick reference for editing the source text but our new VisualEditor makes editing much easier (This needs to be turned on in your user preferences under beta features).
If you have any questions about the project don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page here :- User_talk:Lumos3.
Happy editing,

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.
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.Sincerely, Lumos3 (talk) 08:48, 25 July 2014 (UTC) (Leave me a message)

[edit]You are suspected of sock puppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Cooperative Guy. Thank you. Mz7 (talk) 23:40, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
