 * Right then! Do you want to start with article creation or fighting vandalism? There are advanced tools you can get when you've been here longer but as a new user, you'll have to rely on the undo button. If you want to learn how to revert vandalism, just say so!
 * I've got things to do during the summer as well! I'll see you whenever.
 * I spell it as patronising (British spelling). You may spell it patronizing (which is the American spelling). Use whichever you want! I'll see you around!  Oliver Fury, Esq. message  •  contributions  19:57, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Wikimarkup

Well done. All correct! Have a nice big A. Your next task can be to create nice colourful signature!

Customising signatures
Take a look User:OllieFury/signature/history to see all the sigs I have used. The coding for them can be seen when you edit the page. If I were you, I'd create a personal sandbox here: User:Tim Tebow Rocks!/sandbox. You can test edit all you want there. Copy and paste one of my signature codes to your sandbox and then play around! You can add internal links to your sigs. It's acceptable to have about three (user, user talk, contributions etc) links. You are not allowed to include images or external links. See here for the colour codes you need to add some colour. Use the hex codes you see in the table (6 numbers). Experiment all you want. When you are done, tell me and I'll show you how to use it.

 * Use whatever font you like. It should work. In future, can you leave message on this page please. And also, try to space out new messages. Use a new line and a colon and your message will be indented. This is better than writing on a continous line. Thanks. Let's see that signature!
