Welcome
Hi, Jjames3000. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person. You can talk to me right now. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. The tips below should help you to get started. Best of luck!

Simple references
These require two parts;


 * a)

Chzz is 98 years old.

He likes tea.


 * b) A section called "References" with the special code " ";

Named references
Chzz was born in 1837, in Footown.

Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.

Citation templates
You can put anything you like between, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look;

Chzz has 37 Olympic medals.

Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result.

For more help and tips on that subject, see user:chzz/help/refs.

Another welcome (from Trafford09)
Hi Jjames. Nice to briefly chat to you today on WP:IRC. At first, I got myself confused, because I was looking for you in Wikipedia as User_talk:JJames3000, when I should of course have been looking for you as User_talk:Jjames3000 !

Anyway, mystery solved. As chzz said, welcome to Wikipedia. At least you now know how to talk to any other editor, to discuss things, ask questions, etc.. Try me too any time, if you have any queries, or just want to retry this meassage-posting system, to cement your new-found skills! Good luck with your future editing - enjoy! Bye for now, Trafford09 (talk) 13:38, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Spotlight
Hi there. Hopefully you'll remember me, from my trying to help you; well, now it's my turn to ask for help.

I'm trying to help re-launch an idea called "Spotlight". The notion is to select an article and work on it collectively, via live discussion, for one week. If lots of people get involved, it can work really well; in the past, the project died off through lack of participants. Anyone can help out, because that's the whole point - we have many and varied skills, but between us, we can do amazing things. So - please join the channel, and add yourself to the participants in WP:SPOTLIGHT. Thanks for your time!  Chzz  ►  22:27, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
