Welcome!

Hi there! Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it here and stick around.

Here are a few handy tips for newcomers:

  • When you post something on a talk/discussion page, you can sign your name by using three tildes (" ~~~ ") for your username and four (" ~~~~ ") for your username and a timestamp.
  • If you ever find yourself with nothing to do on Wikipedia, have a look at the Community Portal, you'll find that there's always something happening.

If you ever have any questions, comments, or just want to say hi, don't hesitate to write to me on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Happy editing and have a great day! :-) Akamad 10:20, 7 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Those boxes you describes are called userboxes. Have a look at the Wikipedia:Userboxes page, it lists all the different types of userboxes you can have, and how to craete your own. It also shows you one method of displaying them on your userpage. I'm suprised you don't have a tilde key (wavy line symbol) on your keyboard. This image shows you where it is on most keyboards: http://healthlinks.washington.edu/howto/navigating/tilde.gif. If you have anymore questions, you know where to find me. - Akamad 23:22, 8 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Brian Jonestown Massacre

edit

FYI, I undid your linking of Anton Newcombe, since that link just redirects to Brian Jonestown Massacre. We probably should have an article on Newcombe himself, if we can find any reliable sources on him. Since he and BJM are so closely associated, I'm not sure what we could say about him that wasn't about BJM. Anyway, I know you were being helpful that's why I wanted to explain.

your userboxes

edit

You should subst your userboxes before rouge admins delete them. That's what I do when I add userboxes to my user page. All in 18:16, 15 May 2006 (UTC)Reply
