Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Blind musicians, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment; or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (Insert-signature.png or Signature icon.png) located above the edit window.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Blind musicians, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Sam Sailor Sing 22:24, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello Sam Sailor, thank you for your help to this total newbie. I am slowly learning more about being a contributor. Regarding the edit I did at Talk:Blind musicians, I had previously submitted a comment there which was no longer relevant (I had edited the main page to reflect my concern). The edit to the talk page was simply removing my own previous (and no longer relevant) comment. Is this also considered bad practice (editing or removing my own words)? Thanks for your advice.Kelzeegla (talk) 22:35, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Kelzee. In a case like this it makes more sense to add an indentated comment that you posted the previous as IP editor and now have implemented the changes. That way other editors can see what has been going on. Try pasting this piece of text or mod it as you like:
 * :I posted the above as IP editor but have now made the changes I felt neccessary. Comments are welcome. ~
 * We only rarely delete on talk pages, although we archive when needed. For the whole thing skim the Talk page guidelines. Anything I can do for you, just give me a call. Best, Sam Sailor Sing 22:53, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Help me!
Please help me with... How does one change the TITLE of a wiki article? Specifically I am editing an article called 'The Barton Organ Company' which never actually existed. I want to change the title to 'The Bartola Musical Instrument Company' (the true name of the company) with 'The Barton Organ Company' being redirected to this page. I am a newby editor and I can't figure out how to do this. Thanks!

 * You can do that with the "Move" tab. If you can't see it, it may be lurking in a drop-down menu just to the left of the search box. Click on "Move", and fill in the new title. There is only one trap: in the left-hand box, make sure you choose "(Article)" from the menu, not "Wikipedia". A redirect from the old title will be created automatically. There is more information at WP:Moving a page. JohnCD (talk) 17:17, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
