There are so many editors registering an account on Wikipedia everyday, so sorry for the delay in welcoming you. Have a nice day/night, dear The-Association! Regards. PeaceNT 07:28, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

• Let me pile on and welcome you too. See WP:Wc and WP:Wc for some additional links/resources to explore. Feel free to ask questions. I'm 'refactoring' your page, so the first message is below. // FrankB 12:27, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

warning

Please do not add unhelpful and unconstructive content to Wikipedia, as you did to Korn. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. ROSALES 27 _(Talk) 19:16, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh, sorry, that's what my friend heard. Didn't mean for it to be vandalism.

See WP:VER and WP:CITE. These days there is a big sitewide effort on being able to document anything when you post it. 'Hearsay' isn't allowed in courts, or welcome on WP. Like work or schoolwork at a good school, you have to take notes and have a reliable source. Still, can be loads of fun--or very vexing. For example: See Talk:Ronald Reagan for some of the picyune side in recent posts. That's nearly upto FAC grade (WP:FAC).

And get used to the alphabet soup of acronyms if you're going to mix it up here. One of those WC:wc links would lead you to WP:SHORT, which is a good place to browse and get a feel. Hang out at WP:AFD and WP:CFD for a couple of months, and you'll get a crash course! Cheers! // FrankB 12:27, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
