User talk:Leslie edmundson

 Welcome, Leslie edmundson ! I'm Riana, and I noticed that you're new, so I thought I'd drop you a note. We do have a lot of users, and are currently working on articles, so things can be a little intimidating... but don't worry! We love to help out, and we'll try our best to make your stay here as comfortable as possible. Here are a few links I found useful when I first arrived here:-


 * Be Bold!
 * Don't let grumpy users scare you off
 * Meet other new users
 * Policies, guidelines, and rules
 * How to create a page, edit a page and write a great article
 * A handy tutorial, and a picture tutorial


 * Writing well
 * Learn from others
 * Play nicely with others
 * Contribute, Contribute, Contribute!
 * Tell us about yourself
 * Be inspired by our finest!

You should sign your name on talk pages, discussions and votes by typing ; our software automatically converts it to your username and the date. Also, if you don't want to jump right into editing articles right now, why not check out the sandbox? Feel free to make test edits there.

I know it's a lot of information, but there are two more things I recommend you take note of while editing Wikipedia - cite references wherever possible, and avoid allowing personal biases interfere with your editing.

I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian - I definitely do. Although we all make mistakes, please keep in mind what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or problems, leave me a message on my talk page, and I'll try my best to help. Otherwise, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type  on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

We hope you stick around, and make sure you enjoy yourself! Cheers,

Your article, San Clemente Island goats
Hi Leslie, good work with the article above - interesting topic! I have marked the article as a stub, which means that it's a little on the short side, but if you feel like that's all you can say about it, or that no more real information exists, feel free to remove the template. Thanks also for providing lots of references in the article - you can imagine that that's one of our main problems! I would, however, recommend you take a look at WP:REF, which will tell you how to prove references in the correct manner. I've kept a few of your references, but the rest I've "commented out" - if you look at the article in edit mode, my comments or suggestions will be enclosed in so that you can only see them in edit-mode. You can re-add them using the correct templates over at WP:REF.

If you have any questions about this, or Wikipedia in general, please don't hesitate to give me a buzz!
