Introduction
editTo any who may be viewing this page, Welcome. As a newer editor, I'm using this userpage as a learning tool, so if you have helpful comments, I'll happily read them on my talk page.
Tip of the day... The three-revert ruleMany people know that if someone reverts an article more than three times in 24 hours (3RR), they may be blocked to prevent edit warring. But did you know that:
- Although reverts on different articles do not count towards the limit, different reverts on the same article do count. So if you revert Paragraph A twice and Paragraph B twice in 24 hours, you have made four reverts and may be blocked.
- If you revert three times, wait for 24 hours and start reverting again, you may be blocked for 'gaming' the rule. The three-revert rule is an electric fence, not an entitlement.
- Although you cannot be blocked for repeatedly reverting vandalism, many Wikipedians mistake edits for vandalism when they are not. For example, edits that do not respect the neutral point of view policy are not vandalism.
The easiest way to avoid being blocked for reverting is to revert as little as possible and discuss with your fellow editors instead. Some editors limit themselves to one or no reverts a day. Select categories on Wikipedia are limited to 1RR (one revert rule). Those articles will have an edit notice to apprise you of their special status. For 1RR you may only revert one edit in the entire category per 24-hours.

Userboxen and other odd stuff
editAs anonymous user, fixed the link for christian reiki from a .com to the .org site that doesn't redirect to Rand's pages.
When I was in the service, 3 stripes meant Sargeant!

Marking dead links
editA dead, unarchived source URL may still be useful. Such a link indicates that information was (probably) verifiable in the past, and the link might provide another user with greater resources or expertise with enough information to find the reference. It could also return from the dead. With a dead link, it is possible to determine if it has been cited elsewhere, or to contact the person originally responsible for the source. For example, one could contact the Yale Computer Science department if http://www.cs.yale.edu/~EliYale/Defense-in-Depth-PhD-thesis.pdf[dead link] were dead. Place {{Dead link|date=April 2017}} If you omit the date a bot will add it for you at some point. after the dead URL and just before the </ref> tag if applicable, leaving the original link intact. If you omit the date a bot will add it for you at some point. Placing [dead link] auto-categorizes the article into Articles with dead external links project category, and into specific monthly date range category based on |date= parameter. Do not delete a URL just because it has been tagged with [dead link] for a long time.
