Welcome

Hello, M. Ball, and Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you enjoy the encyclopedia and want to stay. As a first step, you may wish to read the Introduction.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me at my talk page – I'm happy to help. Or, you can ask your question at the New contributors' help page.

Need help?

Additional tips...

• Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). The or button, on the tool bar above Wikipedia's text editing window, also does this.
• If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills without changing the mainspace, the Sandbox is for you.

Citations

Hi Mattaea, thanks for coming along to the event the other day and for writing the Elizabeth Wilson article. The other outcomes from the event are detailed here. The only tiny thing to mention is that you were adding your citations as external links. To add a citation on Wikipedia just click 'edit' to open the Visual Editor menus up and place the cursor at the end of the line. Then use the 'Cite' dropdown menu to paste the URL web address of the reference in to generate the citation. More details here. Hope that helps and thanks again!
