A belated welcome!


Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Curc. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
 * Introduction
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * How to write a great article
 * Editor's index to Wikipedia

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Questions, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome!  Seagull123  Φ  22:42, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

Pkease note that MOS is a guideline and not mandatory, and is clearly labelled as something one should use good sense in dealing with. The layout of this article is something that I labored over, and should not be trifled with for the sake of MOS-related pedantry. You've had an account for 2 days and 50 edits (although it sure looks like you edited before this account), I've been here for 12 years and 200,000 edits -- I think it's possible that I understand what's allowed and what's needed and what works visually a little better than you. Please do not change the layout again. Thanks, Beyond My Ken (talk) 17:09, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks for the info! But for instance, why exactly does the first image of which I changed the formatting have to be placed on the left?--Curc (talk) 16:34, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
 * It;s generally a good idea -- if at all possible --to alternate between left and right so that the article doesn't get visually monotonous. If it's causing you a particular problem by being on the left, let me know and perhaps we can find a solution. Beyond My Ken (talk) 16:53, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Well, there is not a serious problem to that, as far as I am concerned. However, I don't consider it very appealing e. g. when headlines become indented by left-aligned images. The same goes for adjustments of images at the end line of a paragraph, like with the second image I tried to reformat. Best--Curc (talk) 17:18, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
