User talk:Careyman

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. I've reverted a couple of the edits you made today because, as a general rule, we don't link words in articles unless they're related to the topic at hand; if someone wants to know what de facto means, or what a sage is, they should look those words up on their own. Otherwise, our articles would be filled with blue links to other pages, which can be quite distracting. For more info on that, you can see our guideline here.

While we're at it, since nobody has officially welcomed you yet, I thought I would give you some links you might find helpful as you edit Wikipedia.


 * User tutorial
 * Help desk
 * Policy on maintaining a neutral point of view
 * Policy for content when editing articles and creating new ones
 * Notability guidelines for people
 * Tips for settling disputes
 * Guidelines for properly writing and formatting articles
 * Criteria for Good Articles
 * The Village Pump, our discussion forums

I hope you find these links useful. It looks like you're off to a good start, but if you have any questions, don't hesitate to drop me a line. Good luck, and happy editing! Kafziel Talk 19:30, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
