Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 05:19, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I posted this lil ol welcome template here to be a reference for you if you need to look anything up. Once you read the appropriate link and become thoroughly confused, come back to the Teahouse and we will try to explain it in simpler terms. It is very overwhelming, but know that there are people who will be happy to help you. i would encourage you to use the article wizard rather than posting your article straight into the mainspace, as the most likely outcome for that will be deletion. There is a lot to learn in creating your first article. WP:Notability and WP:Verifability are probably the most important. That is why you should work on your first article in a protected area like articles for creation. People can stop by and check it out so they can help you with it.
