Welcome!
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia, Ltec5010! I am Wolfnix and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. Thank you for your contributions. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Regarding the recent inflex of edits on your main user page
[edit]Every user on Wikipedia should have their own user name, and should not normally edit the userpage of others. For experimentation, you can use the WP:SANDBOX or you could make a userspace draft page. If other editors (and indeed anonymous editors using IP address) edit a user page, we cannot tell if it is a valid edit, or if it is vandalism, therefore we generally 'undo' the edits. We are quite happy to help you, but it is essential that each PERSON create their own account. Please ask for help with {{helpme}} in your User Talk space or IRC

Hi Ltec5010,
I appreciate what I think you are doing - using Wikipedia as a learning media, and indeed we are keen to help you with that. Just two points;
- If other people to edit your user page, then the people checking for Special:RecentChanges are likely to remove the edits, trying to 'protect' your page from what could look like vandalism. If you use a userspace sub-page, you shouldn't have those problems.
- Each person should 'sign up' for a Wikipedia account; that way, they will have their own user talk page. As each person is responsible for their own edits - not a group - it helps if we can contact individual users. It also makes it easier for yourself, to leave messages for them, and help them create their own user page, etc.
I recommend you make use of the live help facility, and I really hope we can help you further. Alternatively, just put {{helpme}} on this page followed by a question, and someone should see it quite quickly.
