Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, 98.67.164.50! I have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on or by typing helpme at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! — Ed   (talk  •  majestic titan)  23:43, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

November 2009
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add content (particularly if you change facts and figures), as you have to the article USS Alabama (BB-60), please cite a reliable source for the content you're adding or changing. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -MBK004 01:46, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

USS Kidd (DDG-993)
Your contributions are greatly appreciated on the Kidd article. I really like your clean up style and thank you for providing such informative edit summaries. Regards - 4twenty42o (talk) 07:24, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I second the above; thank you very much! Only complaint: can you not use "the" in front of ship names (ie "the USS Kidd" or "the Kidd")? Not a big deal, but that's how many of the other ship articles here are formatted. :-) All the best, — Ed   (talk  •  majestic titan)  08:04, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
 * And I'd like to add my thanks as well, for the edits to 11th Airborne Division, which seem to have made everything a bit clearer and simpler. The only edit I reverted was your last; it was agreed during the article's A-Class Review to use 'formation' instead of 'division' to ensure the lede didn't repeat the latter word within a single sentence. Otherwise, welcome to wikipedia, and I'd certainly urge you to get a user account! Skinny87 (talk) 09:22, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

11th Airborne Division
Hi there!

I'm really sorry to say this, but I've had to revert all of your edits to the Division's article. But before I go any further, please don't take that as a bad thing or a slur on you - it isn't. Your prose additions were wonderful and made the article flow much better. Unfortunately, you also added information - which is likely correct and I certainly don't regard as vandalism - which is now next to citations for WP: Reliable Sources that don't match what those sources say. That can't be done, as everything needs to be cited to a reliable source.

As such, what I'd like to ask you to do is to join me on the talkpage of the article and confer with me about what needs to be added and copy-edited - it shouldn't take long, as I think it was mostly prose and ranks and such. It was just things like altering information and adding information to cited sections that no longer reflect what that source says. Once again, I'd like to welcome you to wikipedia and hope that you don't find this too dis-heartening; I think you'll be an excellent contributor to wikipedia, and would like to offer you this WP: Barnstar as a proper welcome:

I'll start a thread on the article talkpage here where we can discuss things. I look forward to working with you. Cheers, Skinny87 (talk) 12:06, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
