User talk:Cmg402

Welcome! (We can't say that loudly enough!)

Here are a few links you might find helpful:

You can sign your name on talk pages and votes by typing &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;; our software automatically converts it to your username and the date.

If you have any questions or problems, no matter what they are, leave me a message on my talk page. Or, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Also, take a look at the Glory Days Grill article you created. A more experienced editor left a message that it might not qualify for inclusion in Wikipedia as presently written and suggested you add a bit more material to meet Wikipedia's "notability" standards. By virtue of its size and fame, McDonald's is notable, but my nephew's lemonade stand is not. A metropolitan restaurant chain may be right on the borderline. See the Notability for more guidance. Also, you might look to see if comparably sized chains are already in Wikipedia.

This editing stuff can seem a little arcane to a newcomer; don't be afraid to just dive right in -- you'll learn along the way. (That's what I did and so far they seem to have survived my editing work, both good and bad.) We need all the editors we can get!

Again, welcome, Stephen. --A. B. 05:13, 9 June 2006 (UTC)


 * That's a really nice user page you're building but I suggest you think twice about putting your date and place of birth on it (identity theft concerns). --A. B. 18:47, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
