User talk:JBrodsky

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

Here are some tips to help you get started:


 * To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type &#126;&#126;&#126; (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (4 tildes).
 * Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
 * If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
 * Follow the Simplified Ruleset
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Remember Neutral point of view
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

JBrodsky, welcome to the site, and thanks for all the great information you've been adding. I hope you're enjoying it so far. One thing, though: you might want to familiarize yourself with the principles outlined in policy documents like What Wikipedia is not and Neutral point of view. Writing for an encyclopedia requires a certain amount of formality and a lack of bias&mdash;phrases and sentences like "heralded as a masterpiece by experimental luminaries" and "Neu! 2 is the bane of Puff Daddy's existance, because it proves that it was Neu! who truly invented the remix, roughly two and a half decades before he claimed that" may be problematic. Take a look at how I rewrote those sentences in Neu! for an example, and if you can, please think about rewriting some of the other passages in your articles from a more factual perspective. If you can't, don't worry too much&mdash;someone else will take care of it eventually. Thanks! &mdash;Triskaideka 19:37, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)
