User talk:Hqlother

Welcome to Wikipedia
When I first got my userid, someone left me this list:
 * Welcome is a good place to start.
 * Tutorial runs through all the basics.
 * How does one edit a page gives editing help.
 * Manual of Style gives formatting info.
 * Policies and guidelines tell about the principles we operate on. It's important, but don't try to read it all now.
 * Help covers a broad range of useful topics.
 * Help desk is a place to ask questions.
 * Show preview explains how to double-check your edits before saving.

I can't say I read everything, but Policies and guidelines is a good place to start before doing too many edits. Then check out Manual of Style. A very good way to get controversial information across without getting reverted is to write in the talk page and get a discussion going. Sometimes you can convince enough people, and sometimes you may get convinced. But its a lot more satisfying than getting clobbered by other editors in the articles, or worse, getting blocked. Good luck! Oh... and sign your posts in the talk pages using " ~ " --tess (talk) 17:53, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Year of the Mouse
For starters, I think you can copy what you just wrote me and put it in the Talk: Rat (zodiac) page and see what kind of response you get. I think its a good argument for Mouse. That's where most people would look and read. --tessc (talk) 23:07, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh... and list the webpage(s) where you found the discussion/quote, that would be even more helpful. People can then go and read it themselves. --tessc (talk) 23:10, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I started a new section in Talk: Rat (zodiac). Feel free to add your comments there. --tessc (talk) 00:17, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
