[edit]Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Manual of Style
Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Respect copyrights - do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view - this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced to multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring and sockpuppetry.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account or IP being blocked from editing.
The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date).

I hope the barrage of tags added to the top of the article aren't discouraging you from contributing. They are pretty standard as ways for editors to let each other know what work needs to be done. If you plan on continuing to work on the article, you can add the {{inuse}} tag to the top of the article. This tells other editors that you're working and to respect that it's a work-in-progress. It also serves as a request not to delete the article as it's being improved. As I stated in the article talk page, as this is a copy from the URegina website, it could be deleted by an administrator as a copyright violation at this point. But there's no dispute that McKay is notable and should have an article. Again, welcome. freshacconci talktalk 16:52, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
