User talk:Jim Glasgow

Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Jim Glasgow! I have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on or by typing helpme at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Cureden 14:43, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Introduction
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * How to write a great article
 * Manual of Style
 * As to your question on the User Page Design Centre, I gathered that you want to write an article about a book you have written. While we of course welcome all contributions, you may have a conflict of interest with the article matter. It may not be notable enough either, unfortunately.

You can request its creation at Requested Articles, but that would take a long time. You should maybe read up on article creation, and see if your book is notable enough. Of course, you don't have to create an article straight away. You can maybe fix typos and things like that until you feel at home with formatting. Of course, you don't have to do anything for a while if you want; Wikipedia accounts are never deleted! You can ask a question at my talk page if you need any help. ;) Cureden  14:57, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your quick reply. The contact is so encouraging. As I am a Home Carer to my 82 year old wife, my spare time is non existent. Will digest all you say and get back as soon as I can. It is not an article I wish to present but a Book of Definitions I have designed. Its purpose is to donate new ways of defining constants without altering their basic meaning.My hope was to leave it with Wikipedia and let it be measured,analyzed,and hopefully used.(Jim Glasgow (talk) 01:41, 14 August 2009 (UTC))Is this all I do to sign my name?(Jim Glasgow (talk) 01:41, 14 August 2009 (UTC))
 * I'm afraid Wikipedia isn't the place for your book. It's near impossible to just give it to Wikipedia, as we have over 10 million seperate editors.

I'm so sorry about that, and wish you good luck in getting a publisher and sharing it, whatever way you can. (and yes, just put ~ after your message to sign. :) Cureden  14:52, 14 August 2009 (UTC) What to do? Thank you so much for the attention you have given me!
