User talk:Warren Boroson
Welcome
[edit]Hello and welcome to Wikipedia!
Here are some tips to help you get started:
- If you haven't already, please add your name to the new user log to let others know a little about yourself.
- Read the article describing how to edit a page and feel free to experiment in the Sandbox.
- When editing pages, use the preview button before submitting and try to fill in the summary box for every edit.
- Eventually, read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
- If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk or ask me on my talk page.
- Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!
P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
Autobiographical edits
[edit]Thanks also for editing the birth date and other information on this article. While it is fine to make corrections of this sort, it is generally considered best to let other editors write the article on you. You can read about this guideline on the autobiography page.
Wikipedia can only report what has already been published per our verifiability policy, but we encourage you to supply sources that contain published information you'd like to include. Self-supplied information that hasn't been published, even first-hand information from an article's subject, is considered original research. Since original research can't be verified by looking it up in a published source, it's against policy to include it. This way we avoid information that can't be checked by other editors.
Again, we are very pleased to see you here. Per your earlier article, I had made some corrections to Renée Jeanne Falconetti. Thanks for pointing that out. It seems the confusion with the name arises from multiple sources. Even the Billy Rose Collection you cited lists Renee Jeanne (Marie) Falconetti online. At any rate, I hope you find Wikipedia an enjoyable pursuit. It takes some getting used to the procedures, but they are all in place to ensure articles improve incrementally over time.
If you ever see something that should be addressed, you can either correct it yourself, or if you don't have time, you can make a notation on the talk page, and someone will look at it in time. This is a "big picture" project that many of us feel will evolve into an essential resource for free information online. Jokestress 08:54, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
Warren Buffett article
[edit]I agree that the Warren Buffett article has been rather mediocre and could use much improvement. I've provided a link to your article on Talk:Warren Buffett. It should be pointed out, though, that the errors you mentioned have since been removed: Philip Fisher has been mentioned as an influence, and the "memorable sentence" edited. Also, the reference to Mario Gabelli has been removed in Benjamin Graham. Shawnc 09:37, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
