User talk:Alanrobts

Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello, Alanrobts. Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions. My name is Howicus, and I've been an editor here for some time. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful: If you're working on creating a new article, you should take a look at this page on your first article, and use the article wizard here to get started. Also, this page has instructions on how to cite sources, complete with videos.
 * Introduction and Getting started
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article
 * Simplified Manual of Style

If all this Wikicode is a little overwhelming, this cheatsheet may help untangle it.

If you're looking for a tutorial of sorts, The Wikipedia Adventure is a good option.

And if you need more help, I'd recommend getting live help at the Wikipedia help chat channel: click here to join. Additionally, you could ask me on my talk page, try the Teahouse (a help page for new users) or and a volunteer will visit you here shortly

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. Again, welcome, and have fun editing! Howicus (Did I mess up?) 23:27, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contribution(s). I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, while user talk pages permit a small degree of generaliation, other talk pages such as Talk:Laverne Pavlinac are strictly for discussing improvements to their associated main pages, and many of them have special instructions on the top. They are not a general discussion forum about the article's topic or any other topic. If you have questions or ideas and are not sure where to post them, consider asking at the Teahouse. Thanks.

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:St. Mark's School of Texas. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Meters (talk) 21:42, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I see your last edits before those to Talk:Laverne Pavlinac also included significant NOTAFORUM comments, and a personal attack. Meters (talk) 21:44, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I apologize I’m just getting around to seeing this. I’m not certain who you are, but your points are respectfully taken. In similar spirit I’ll sublimate your apparent endeavor to investigate and chastise my inventory on my own talk page that day—I believe that a more rigorous review of my contributions here would reveal that you may have misjudged my character and level of maturity, based on any number of well-meaning, constructive and non-contentious edits I’ve made over the years. You happened to catch me on one particular day when I was having my well-reasoned revisions repeatedly reversed by a high school student. Cheers! Alanrobts (talk) 00:20, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
