User talk:Scisdahl
Welcome
[edit]Wikipedia is a site that everyone can edit. The problem is that not everyone knows how to edit the Wikipedia way. I hope you can see your way past these early days of confusion and problems. Most editors that are new need to do some reading and research before they begin to edit. Others jump right into the pool. Problem is they don't really know how to swim yet. My hope is the you will endure and see your way past these minor early roadblocks. The road is clear up ahead. Drive slow at first while you only have your learners permit.Buster Seven Talk
A Primer for Newcomers
[edit]Season's Greetings Scisdahl, welcome to Wikipedia!
I noticed nobody had said hi yet...so...Hi!
If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.
You might like some of these links and tips:
- some General guidance.
- Tutorial and the Manual of Style.
- Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
- Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~).
- Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board
- Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
- Use the Show preview button
- Provide an Edit summary
- Add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload
- Take a look at Consensus of standards
- Create a User page
If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, -- Buster Seven Talk 26 December 2011 (UTC)
Re your recent comment at the Rfc
[edit]Muhammad is emphatically not regarded as a "deity" in Islam, but as a prophet. Johnbod (talk) 15:49, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
- May I ask which specific comment this is in reference to? I've made several on that RfC and it's not clear to me based on the comment above. scisdahl (t•c) 16:36, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry - totally the wrong editor. I meant Snottywong or "SW". Johnbod (talk) 16:40, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
- No problem! Carry on. scisdahl (t•c) 17:05, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
