User talk:Fionnlaoch

Hello! I've noticed that you have edited Wikipedia without logging in to an account. It's great that you've been contributing; however, I urge you to create an account. Here is a list of the benefits of having an account:

You can create new pages
You can use watchlists
You can upload images
You can keep your account from being unfairly blocked if you share an IP address
You can use scripts to better fight annoying vandalism
After four days, you can edit semi-protected pages

There are no cons to signing up for an account. In fact, you can find even more pros at the "why create an account" page! Signing up is completely free and you don't need to enter any personal information! Plus you can have a user page, which you can use to show your interests, style, or nearly whatever! So, unless you can think of a con, please sign up for an account right now! SchuminWeb (Talk) 18:15, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirecting

Hi. regarding your comment on the Low whistle discussion page, redirecting is easy:

Type in the name of the article you want to redirect from - e.g. 'Celtic low whistle'. Assuming that there's no article with that name already, and no redirect in place, you'll get a variety of options. One of these (in red) is 'Create the page'.
Click that option, and you'll be given an empty page.
On the page type '#REDIRECT[[article you want to redirect to]]' (without the quotes) - so in this case, you'd type:#REDIRECT[[Low whistle]].
Enter an edit summary at the bottom of the screen - something like 'creating redirect', and hit the 'Show preview' button
If you've done everything correctly, you should see a page with an arrow pointing down and to the right, and the name of the article in blue (if it's in red then you've mistyped the article name).
Click the 'Save page' button
That's all folks ! Once you've done one, you'll see how easy it is. Drop a message on my talk page if you need any clarification. CultureDrone (talk) 11:28, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
