New category
I spotted your name on my watchlist when you edited John Anstis a moment ago. I see that you've created Category:Sebastian Anstis and added some people to it, although I see that there is no article about anyone called Sebastian Anstis, nor do any articles link to it (Special:WhatLinksHere/Sebastian_Anstis), nor do the articles you have added to the category mention anyone called Sebastian. Would you mind explaining what you're doing when you get a moment, please? Thanks. BencherliteTalk 01:16, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Hello and thank you for the welcome. As you can perhaps see, I'm new to Wikipedia. I was playing around to get a feel for how to edit and am a little mortified to realized that the changes I made are visible. I'll try to undo the changes I made. Can I ask you if I need help?

 * No problem, you're not the first to find out (when that orange bar flashes up!) that someone's wondering what's going on... although not everyone starts by adding categories to articles, I must say! Feel free to play in the Wikipedia sandbox as you get to find your way around the place. I've used my "magic administrator powers" to delete the Sebastian Anstis category (and you'll see that it's now gone red to show that it doesn't exist anymore), so I think we're sorted now. Enjoy!
