Hello, Stockton Whitfield, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

Hello. I am a designated online Wikipedia online volunteer for the Neurobiology (Spring 2014) ‎class in which you have enrolled. Please feel free to ask me any questions you might have about how to use or edit Wikipedia. I can be reached by posting at User talk:DESiegel. You could also post any questions at the Help desk, which is a page for anyone with a question about how to edit Wikipedia. DES ^(talk) 14:31, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Posting talk page messages

A small but I hope helpful point about talk page conventions. When pointing on a talk page to start a new thread or discussion topic, it is usual to post in a new section. You can do this by manually entering a section header, or by clicking the "new section" tab at the top of a talk page. This tab may show just a plus sign (underlined so it looks like a plus/minus sign) or it may show "new section" depending on which skin you choose and how your preferences are set. That will open up a form with a 1-line box for the thread topic/subject/headline, and a regular edit box below that.

To enter a section heading manually, surround the Topic with double equals signs, like this:

== A New Subject ==

(Lower level headers can be added with three, four, or more equals signs, but those are not too often needed on talk pages. They are in articles, however.)

I hope this is helpful. DES ^(talk) 19:49, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please do remember to post new subjects or threads in new sections on talk pages, as described above. Otherwise talk pages can become quite confusing, especially busy talk pages. DES ^(talk) 14:57, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Good day, Stockton Whitfield! Cheerio! --Thatsomaven (talk) 17:37, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
