Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, Bsmall99, I'm Kafziel. I noticed you were new, or at least that nobody has officially welcomed you yet, so let me be the first to say hello, give you some tips, and share a few useful links.

Here are some links you might find helpful:

I know they're a little boring (okay... a lot boring) but they may come in handy someday.

I give every newcomer two tips for adding content: cite references whenever possible, and try to set aside any personal points of view. Aside from that, just be patient and receptive, ask questions whenever you need to, and have a good time. If you want to experiment with coding or see how articles will look before you post them, you can use your own private sandbox (at User:Bsmall99/sandbox) for any tests you want to do.

Now that you have your own user name, you can sign your comments on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically stamp your user name, the time, and the date. That will help other users reply to your posts. You may also want to fill out your user page to tell others a bit about yourself.

I hope this information is useful to you, and I'm looking forward to seeing your contributions. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me for help. Good luck, and happy editing! Kafziel Talk 18:07, 22 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Your links edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, one or more of the external links you added to the page Vehicle insurance do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -- zzuuzz (talk) 08:10, 4 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

I guess I don't get why that wasn't a good resource. Please explain further. Do you know of another list of the insurance departments of all U.S. States? If so, I'd like to get that up there.

Linking to your own sites, and especially implying that you 'found' it, is generally considered poor form. Please see WP:EL and WP:SPAM. Thanks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 18:54, 4 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
