User talk:Dizzal-2010

Gong
Hello, there is a discussion on the Gong (band) talk page about the information you added. We need to know where this information came from, because it contains a significant conjecture about the band's future, and it really needs to have citations. If this is not fixed, the change will likely be removed.

I see you are a new user, and looked at a couple of your other edits. Hope you don't mind me pointing out problems, which have been repaired. You should never add your user ID to an article. Contributors to articles can be found by looking at their history pages. However, you should sign contributions to talk pages, and this is done by clicking the signature box in the row of boxes above the edit box.

I also saw where you tried to add a field to the infobox of Sam Mitchell (EastEnders), but something was done wrong, and it messed up the coding, making the article look like this (click on link). It's a good idea to use the "preview" button when making a change that involves codes. Or if you didn't see the problem until after you saved your change, you should revert unless you can fix it immediately. One problem is that you were missing a bracket; another is that you used "Children" (capitalized) instead of lower case like the other field names, and yet another is that "children" is not a valid parameter of the infobox, so for both of the latter reasons, the change would not have taken effect. When adding a field to an infobox, you should check its instructions to see what fields are available, and how to use them. For this box, the instructions page is Template:Infobox soap character 2. Another editor reverted your change, but I don't think anyone has re-inserted your information correctly. You may wish to try again, or ask at that article's talk page to see if there is a reason for not including it.

There is a lot to learn when figuring out how Wikipedia works. Hopefully this isn't too discouraging. Don't be afraid to ask others for help at article talk pages when trying new things. Please address the Gong article issue first; see its talk page which explains what is required. Thanks and have fun on Wikipedia! --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 23:27, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
