Welcome!

Hello, Booroobin, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. 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! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! [End of standard welcome message]

 * Manual of Style

By the way, the syntax for external links works like this: a link put in single square brackets will show as a numbered link with no text; if you put the link, then a space, then text, the text will be highlighted as an external hyperlink, and if you just put the link with no brackets, the link will be highlighted:


 * gives
 * Lucas mill gives Lucas mill
 * http://www.lucasmill.com/ gives http://www.lucasmill.com/

In your message in Talk:Alaskan mill you used square brackets like the first option, but you put a space before the link; this broke the syntax so it defaulted to the last option. See WP:External links for more, including how to use external links in articles.

For your signature on talk pages, you don't have to put your name, just the four tildes ( ~ ), and it'll put your name in automatically.
