Welcome
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

 * Picture tutorial

 * Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a  living person to any Wikipedia page. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced to multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring and sockpuppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Lastly, if you are editing an article about an individual or group of people, please adhere to Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!  RepublicanJacobite  The'FortyFive' 15:38, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Some thoughts
One quick word of advice is that all information should be reliably-sourced to third-party published sources. First-hand accounts by Thoreau, for example, should not be included in the Henry David Thoreau page. Please don't change a third-party source to a first-person one. See WP:RS for more. --Midnightdreary (talk) 17:05, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I also can't help but notice the addition of a lot of references or "further reading" listings relevant to you personally. Have you read WP:COI? --Midnightdreary (talk) 17:07, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
