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:
 * Welcome!
 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * 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 to follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with 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.

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 my talk page. 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! Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 10:38, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Signing off
Thanks Dave, it is my first time trying to edit through a discussion page, you mentioned that there is some problems with the way I sign off? I thought I did sign off with the 4 tildas... Thanks for taking the time to correct me! KKPP (talk) 01:15, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
 * You did signed off correctly at the top discussion section/thread but you also added something extra, by mistake I presumed, at the end of another discussion section/thread at the bottom. (→ evidence here ←) Please be more careful in future. Best. -- Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 09:57, 24 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh yes, I have no idea how that got there. Thanks. KKPP (talk) 10:16, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 * On another note, you only need to sign when you're discussing something on any given discussion page and not on the article page itself or in the edit summary box. (→ evidence here ←) -- Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 10:51, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah yes, it does look silly when the system does not convert it to my signature. Thanks for the heads up! KKPP (talk) 01:41, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Edit summary
Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you. -- Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 10:51, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
