Your recent edits edit

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (  or  ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 12:10, 1 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

April Fool edit

Regarding your creation of Pcbworm, incorrect information is not permitted in the encyclopaedia, even for a joke, even for April Fool's day. Please don't do that again.

We do, however, feature surprising articles in the "Did you know" section of the front page on 1 April. On this day we run facts that sound like they are jokes but are actually true. To get in this section you need to do rather more work. You need to write a real article and submit it at WP:DYK well in advance. You have missed the boat for this year, but if you are interested you can start thinking about a subject for next year. You can see past April Fool DYKs on this archive page by clicking on April for any year. SpinningSpark 12:43, 1 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
