User talk:Jbeaton5

Hello world. I am a brand new user. It is my desire to contribute to articles about musicians and music in general, in particular stringed instruments.

Thanks very much to what I feel will be an interesting entry in Wikipedia
... just to say thank you for your interest in the page I initiated on classical guitar in general and renowned virtuoso guitarist Michael Laucke in particular. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Natalie.Desautels/sandbox )I see that you made some edits and contributed links and other research. That's great! Please feel entirely free to continue! all my very best, and thank you once again for your contribution. --Natalie.Desautels (talk) 20:51, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Mendaliv. I wanted to let you know that your signature ("sig") might cause problems for some readers. This is because it includes a link outside your user-space; or no link at all. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines and policy on customising signatures. Thank you. —/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 11:52, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Hello Mendaliv. Thanks very much! I am aware of this; when I sign with the four tildes ( ~ ), the program only puts in my usename Jbeaton5 without the username being hyperlinked. To temporarily correct this I copied the code. I do have programming skills (albeit old ones) but could not figure out the problem. I am new as a user. Could you please tell me where to go for help; very much appreciated. --Jbeaton5 07:15, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Not a problem. I'm thinking what you've got happening is, if you look in your Preferences for Wikipedia, under the "User Profile" tab, you have "Treat the above as wiki markup." checked, but no links in the signature. If you want the default signature, you want to replace what's in the signature box with . You could also just hit "reset defaults" in your preferences, though that'd get everything else too... unfortunately they don't seem to have a "restore default signature" button. —/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 10:48, 23 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Hello Mendaliv Thank you so much for helping me with this. Everything now works fine. --Jbeaton5 (talk) 13:58, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
