Welcome! Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect intellectual property rights - do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view when editing articles - this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! SchuminWeb (Talk) 18:20, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Edit summaries
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Please make sure to include an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks! — Brianhe (talk) 19:54, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I have included edit summaries since.—Bde1982 00:58, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 7
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Pardon, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Immunity. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

ReBoot
I just want to say: I'm glad somebody else editing Wikipedia knows what a comma splice is! : )  With regards, Tenebrae (talk) 01:16, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Clock management
Thank you! I seem to have inserted "halts the clock" during my rewrite on 27-Nov-13 from a background in programming. "Stops the clock" sounds better and is what the article uses everywhere else. Spike-from-NH (talk) 00:43, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

Roads named after Martin Luther King Jr.
In Chipley, Washington County, Florida, there is a " Martin Luther King Drive". It is in the northern part of the city. Please add this to the Florida list of roads named after MLKJ. Slimshadie33115 (talk) 07:04, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay. I added it.—Bde1982 (talk) 14:07, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

Woah there
Quit being so philosophical, that edit summary was way too deep. I feel like that's something you'd see on a motivational Facebook post or LinkedIn or something. :P - Aoidh (talk) 21:00, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
 * The word is WHOA, not Woah. Furthermore: Don't criticize others' edit summaries.—Bde1982 (talk) 21:07, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I was not criticizing, I was trying to make a lighthearted joke, sorry if it came across the wrong way. I was trying to point out that I read it wrong, but it was in fact a very factual description of what your edit contained. - Aoidh (talk) 21:27, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
