Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Thank you for experimenting with our encyclopedia. The test edit you made worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do.

Here are a few good links for newcomers:


 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Tips on starting your first article
 * Help pages
 * Tutorial

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~&#126;); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or type  here on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! [The previous test is one of several boilerplate welcome templates.]

Generally speaking, additions to lists of people must be links to a notable person with an existing Wikipedia article, a redlink to an article that clearly needs to be written, or the unlinked name of a person whose addition was clearly of encyclopedic value. Except with the bluelink to an article, such additions need one or two references that demonstrate that the person really belongs on the list. Pickier editors think every line on the list needs refs right there in the list--I'm willing to check the linked article. Also, edits made by people adding themselves to article space, as your username suggests you did, are usually reverted, especially if they don't turn up with many hits in a quick news search. If you are the Eric Ochocki with a recent MFA, I suspect that there is lots of other useful work that you could do here. Good luck, --Hjal (talk) 07:37, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
