User talk:Cangaroo

Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia , I hope you will like it here and decide to stay.

You may want to take a look at the welcome page, tutorial, and stylebook, avoiding common mistakes and Wikipedia is not pages.

Here are some links I've found useful:
 * Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Manual of Style
 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * Merge
 * New user log
 * Be Bold
 * Don't let grumpy users scare you off
 * Wikiquette
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * User page
 * How to upload files
 * Image copyright tags

Also: To sign comments on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;. This will automatically add your username and the time after your comments. Signing with three tildes &#126;&#126;&#126; will just sign your username. I hope to see you around Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on my talk page!

Hi. You've made many additions to the article on Vimy Ridge today. I don't want to discourage you in trying to contribute to Wikipedia, but most of the text you added only repeated what was already written above it.

Wikipedia articles are cooperative projects and most people try to make small additions to articles, making each article concise and clear and simple. Pasting in large blocks of text is not usually welcome here... it's better to start off small and short. :)

Please read some of the links provided for you above by Johann Wolfgang, and please feel free to contact me through my talk page if you need answers to any questions, okay? Cheers, Madmagic 01:23, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
