Welcome, Jamesgranda!


Welcome to Wikipedia, Jamesgranda! I'm Royal Autumn Crest, and I've been assigned as your mentor. Around 10% of new Wikipedia accounts receive a mentor randomly taken from a list of volunteers. It just means I'm here to help with anything you need! We need to have all kinds of people working together to create an online encyclopedia, so I'm glad you're here. Over time, you will figure out what you enjoy doing the most on Wikipedia.

You might have noticed that you have access to a tutorial and suggested edits. It's recommended that you take advantage of this, as it'll make learning how to edit Wikipedia easier.

If you need assistance with anything or have any questions, click on the "Get editing help" button on the bottom right corner of your screen. This will open up a module with links to help pages and a place to ask me questions. You can also ask me questions directly on my talk page, or go here to get help from the wider community.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Eric Haydock, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Graham 87 03:06, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
 * We need a link to a published source. The year 1949 is highly improbable from where I sit. Graham 87 03:07, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello Graham - please accept my humble apologies. The information about Eric Haydock (born Haddock) came from the "UK General Register of births, deaths & marriages".
 * Wikipedia lists his birth name as Eric JOHN Haddock and there is someone of that name born in 1949 in the right area. Checking again I see there is an Eric Haddock born in 1943. Perhaps he didn't have a middle name of John! I did once meet someone who worked with Eric after he was sacked from the Hollies and he told me his surname was Haddock and not Haydock
 * Once again apologies. 82.23.199.170 (talk) 10:01, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
