User talk:Terry Crawley

Welcome!

Hello, Terry Crawley, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

You might also find these policies and guidelines useful:

• What do we mean if we say that you might have a Conflict of Interest?
• What do we mean by Neutral Point of View?
• What sources are counted as reliable?
• What makes the subject of an article notable?
• Why was my page deleted?
• An essay containing a List of bad article ideas

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Getting the articles just right can be tricky - but there are lots of people to ask!

If you have any questions check out Wikipedia:Questions.

There are several ways of getting help:

1. Leave a message on this page. It is on my watchlist, which means that I can see when the page is changed!
2. Leave a message on my talk page - just click on talk in my signature
3. Go into IRC Channel #wikipedia-en-help
4. Leave a message on this page starting with {{helpme}} followed by your question - someone in the IRC help room will be over as soon as possible
5. Leave a question on the Help Desk or on the New Contributors' Help Page

By the way, when you are writing on a discussion page (or someone's talk page), it is considered good manners to sign your comment... to do this, just add ~~~~ at the end of your comment. That will put your user name (Terry Crawley) and the date/time at the end (or you can click on the icon when you are editing. Never sign on an article page - only on a discussion page.

Your username appears to be a real name. Our user name policy says here:

Use of a real name allows contributions to be more easily traced to an individual. This may make a contributor more vulnerable to issues such as harassment. You should consider the benefits and drawbacks of making substantial contributions under your real name before doing so, especially if you are interested in editing subjects which may be politically sensitive. While it is possible to rename accounts (see Changing your username), a record of the previous name will still exist.

If you are happy with using a real name for your account, then I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! If you would prefer to change your name, please go to Changing your username

I am now going to sign this message with my signature, by adding ~~~~ here: -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 09:42, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
