Hello, UK Crime Guy. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm Drm310, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:   Introduction to Wikipedia   The five pillars of Wikipedia   Editing tutorial   How to edit a page   Simplified Manual of Style   The basics of Wikicode   How to develop an article   How to create an article   Help pages   What Wikipedia is not

Some common sense Do's and Don'ts:   Do be bold   Do assume good faith   Do be civil   Do keep cool!   Do maintain a neutral point of view   Don't spam   Don't infringe copyright   Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest   Don't vandalize   Don't get blocked

If you need further help, you can:   Ask a question

or even:   Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:   Fight vandalism   Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome   Help contribute to articles

Perform maintenance tasks   Become a member of a project that interests you   Help design new templates

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.

Another welcome

Hello UK Crime Guy! Welcome again. I've noticed you edited several articles that are on my watch list, good work! Just one piece of advice, could you please format the references using a template (such as {{cite web}}) or after you've edited an article, got to Reflinks which will try to help you fill in as much information as possible about the refs so they don't succumb to linkrot. Thanks! The Rambling Man (talk) 15:47, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

• Cheers The Rambling Man - I'll certainly do that ;) Best, Jay UK Crime Guy (talk) 16:38, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

BLPN discussion

Discussion started at WP:BLPN#Murder of Barry Pring - please can I ask you not to restore the material before the discussion concludes due to the serious nature of the accusation. Thanks January (talk) 11:36, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Sure, I won't do that, thanks. UK Crime Guy (talk) 11:37, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
