User talk:Jazborocketman
Hello. This is jazborocketman's usertalk page. I am just starting to try and feel my way on Wikipedia.
Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- How to edit a page
- Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Manual of Style
- If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Wikipedia:Topical index.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome!
- Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Jazborocketman may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers, and encourages them to become Wikipedians. On Wikipedia, each user is entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects. If I can answer any questions or help you in any way, feel free to post a message on my user talk page! Gblaz 11:49, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

[edit]Hi Jaz,
Someone else noticed that you had become a new user before I read your message to me. User:Gblaz left you a lot good information.
Your note to me on my Talk page was in fact a great place to write it. A good thing to know is that [[Jazborocketman]] (like you left on my talk page) is an encyclopedia entry, and that is not the proper place to put any information about yourself. You will find "Jazborocketman" on the top menu of any Wikipedia page once you log in. That will take you to [[User:Jazborocketman]]. The "User" part of that indicates a Wikipedia:namespace, which is the appropriate page for information about yourself that you might like to share. You can use the macro ~~~~ to sign messages. Those four tildes are expanded when you save the page. Alternately, you can make a link right to your user page without the macro, directing to the User namespace.
You usually shouldn't modify someone else's User page. Most of the time, you'll want to modify the user's Talk page instead. That will get messages to that user and he will be notified with a "You have new messages" link on the next load of any page. (You may have noticed that when you logged in today.)
BTW, I noticed your article so quickly because I sometimes use the "Recent changes" in the main navigation window. I highly suspected your entry was some vandalism when I saw it in the recent changes list. Obviously, I turned out to be wrong. Happy editing! Mrendo 13:55, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
