Welcome to Wikipedia!
[edit]Hello, Thomasmananan. Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions. My name is Howicus, and I've been an editor here for some time. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:
- Introduction and Getting started
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- How to create your first article
- Simplified Manual of Style
If you're working on creating a new article, you should take a look at this page on your first article. Also, this page has instructions on how to cite sources, complete with videos.
If all this Wikicode is a little overwhelming, this cheatsheet may help untangle it.
If you're looking for a tutorial of sorts, The Wikipedia Adventure is a good option.
And if you need more help, I'd recommend getting live help at the Wikipedia help chat channel: click here to join. Additionally, you could ask me on my talk page, try the Teahouse (a help page for new users) or click here to ask for help here on your talk page and a volunteer will visit you here shortly
Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. Again, welcome, and have fun editing! Howicus (Did I mess up?) 23:03, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
Recent Edits
[edit]Hey Thomas, I'd appreciate if when editing you could leave a bit more of a descriptive edit summary than just "adding content", such as what content you're adding. Additionally, please remember than when adding information to an article, you must cite a reliable source to back up your claim. Thanks, Pishcal — ♣ 23:19, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

[edit]Hello, I'm Howicus. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Glasgow, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Glasgow. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Winner 42 Talk to me! 00:07, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did with this edit to Aberdeen F.C.. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Winner 42 Talk to me! 00:17, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Gareth Griffith-Jones. I wanted to let you know that I undid your recent contributions to Fauna of Great Britain because it was not referenced. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. — | Gareth Griffith-Jones |The WelshBuzzard| — 07:49, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
