User talk:Eja1117

Welcome
Hello,, and Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions. We hope that you like this place and decide to stay.

Here are some helpful tips for newcomers:


 * Always sign your posts on talk pages. This can be accomplished by typing three tildes after your comments. If you use four, you can add the date and time too. If you know HTML, you can customize your signature by clicking the "my preferences" link at the top of the page. Always sign your comments on talk pages. Never sign articles.
 * You may want to create a user page. You can use this page to tell other users about yourself, make a list of the articles you've contributed to, add links to websites you like, and for testing wiki markup. If you're not sure where to begin, try picking out some userboxes for yourself to get started. If you do not wish to have a user page, then please redirect it to your user talk page (here) rather than leaving it blank. This will save everybody an extra click ;-).
 * Check out the manual of style to see how wiki markup works. Don't worry, it's not that hard to learn!
 * Always remember to fill in the edit summary field when editing articles.
 * If you are not a native speaker of English, check out this page.
 * If you have a specific area of interest or expertise, consider joining a WikiProject about it.

Here are a few links that you might find helpful:


 * Be Bold in updating pages!
 * Use common sense when editing pages.
 * Check out The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Be cautious when inserting external links.
 * If the rules prevent you from improving Wikipedia, ignore them.

A complete list of all Wikipedia policies and guidelines can be found here.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me, or try browsing through the help pages or the tutorial.

RE: Boston Celtics links
Dia's muire duit! I removed the links to the basketball forums and blogs because Wikipedia discourages their inclusion in its articles. Check out External_links, specifically point number seven, which mentions Links to blogs, social networking sites (such as MySpace), or discussion forums unless mandated by the article itself. I specifically left http://celticsblog.net/blog/ in the links section given that it is more of a Celtics news site that happens to be in a blog format. They regularly interview members of the Celtics and have recently had exclusive interviews with Danny Ainge, Doc Rivers, and Clifford Ray (the new "big man" coach that was brought in to work with Al Jefferson and Kendrick Perkins). If you feel that any of the sites I listed warrant inclusion based on your own judgement coupled with the manual of style guide I linked to, feel free to re-insert them. Also, if you feel that some of the links that are now in the article do not satisfy your interpretation of the guideline, feel free to remove them or discuss a possible removal/addition on the talk page. I hope this helps and feel free to follow up with any other questions or comments. Thanks for getting in touch! Sláinte  hoopydink  Conas tá tú? 21:20, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
