I appreciate your edits to the Lam Tin article. However, instead of starting incomplete lists, could you please add a few lines of description about each shopping mall in Lam Tin? For the schools, I think a list is good enough, since there are a lot of schools. --Der yck C. 07:58, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We normally don't sign on articles. We only do that in discussions. --Der yck C. 10:00, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, yer welcome. It's our job to care for newbies. Do you wish to be adopted? --Der yck C. 05:18, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Here starts the mentorship...

Nice to hear that you'd like to be adopted by me. First of all I'd like to introduce you to the brass tacks of Wikipedia: the skills of article-writing. Up till now, do you have any problems about that? --Der yck C. 15:11, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, you might want to know when to sign and when not to. In article pages (pages with no namespace labels in page names), you never sign. So does category and template namespaces. On most talk pages (namespaces ending with "talk"), you sign your comment. While in Wikipedia namespace, the use of signatures vary from place to place. However, as a rule of thumb, you sign whenever others sign on the same page; and you don't sign when others also don't. --Der yck C. 02:26, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
