User talk:Doddsie
Hey there, Doddsie, and welcome to our great encyclopedia, which currently has more than 6,915,269 articles! Even with this large number, all of your contributions are important (including the small ones), and I hope you like the place and decide to stay! Here's a few starting tips for you:
- You might want to check out the welcome page.
- Then you can have a look at our guidelines.
- After that, you can see here for a cheatsheet on editing pages (for a bigger list, see here).
After reading all this (or even just glimpsing at it), I can understand that you might feel apprehensive about editing and contributing articles, for fear of making a mistake. But don't worry too much about mistakes; after all, you're new. Instead, everyone here encourages you to be bold! If you need help with anything, feel free to leave me a message, or you can put {{helpme}} on your talk page, and someone will show up shortly to give you a hand.
One last thing: when leaving a message on someone's talk page, don't forget to put four "tildes" (~~~~) to automatically sign your name.
Happy Editing! -- P.B. Pilhet 02:26, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
As per your request in RL...
[edit]
Walton Vivat Regina! has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing!
Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message.
Btw you definitely didn't leave a smile on my talkpage before - see Special:Contributions/Doddsie. Walton Vivat Regina! 17:16, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit]While on RC patrol, I noticed you tried to smile at someone but forgot how. Template:Smile may be what you're looking for, or else Image:Smiley.svg :-) Anna512 (talk • contribs) 20:17, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
