Welcome to Wikipedia

Welcome, Adbatstone!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:

• First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
• When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
• If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
• Wikipedia has a vibrant community of editors. The village pump is a great place to see the goings on.
• Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some pointers to learn more about this project:

• Wikipedia:Five pillars
• Wikipedia:Policy trifecta
• Wikipedia:Brilliant prose
• Wikipedia:Be bold in updating pages
• Wikipedia:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: ~~~~.

Best of luck, and have fun editing! ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 23:36, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Jady Goody

I'm going to assume the edit you made to her page was good faith, but it is definitely inappropriate to add that catagory to her article at this point. Besides the fact that she is alive, cancer patients have been known to outlive their prognosis on multiple occasions so you actually have no grounds for adding her to 2009 deaths now so I have subsequently removed that catagory.

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to the page Swine influenza has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.
