Welcome
editHello, Bobmckerrow, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may well be deleted in a week.
Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.
There is a page about the verifiability policy that explains the policy in greater detail, and another that offers tips on the proper ways of citing sources. If you are stuck and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! SatuSuro 11:28, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
First things first
editThe last thng you should do is write an article about yourself - it goes without saying that there are more policeies that I can throw at you to read which clearly indicate you will have problems. Better to read other peoples biographies first - then think about a bit of editing - and if you in fact going to write something about yourself from a user name that is yours - then number one
are in no particular order of items to deal with. If you indeed stay around after seeing your article about yourself deleted - maybe you will understand that arriiving on wikipedia with a self written bio is perhaps not the most appropriate way to start :)
if you have the time before the 5 days are up - you could always try to wikify the art - but dont expect to get the hang of wikipedia editing and policies in that time SatuSuro 11:35, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
