User talk:Lsmullen

Welcome!
Hi there! Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions. I hope you like it here and stick around. If you want, you can drop us a note at New user log to introduce yourself.

Regarding your posting on the article feedback page. To do an internal link (a link to another Wikipedia article), commonly referred to as a Wikilink, you simply put the article name in square brackets, eg:
 * RFID will produce: RFID
 * Radio Frequency Identification will produce: Radio Frequency Identification

For external links, one set of brackets are used, eg:
 * will produce text that looks like:
 * Google homepage will produce text that looks like: Google homepage. The key thing there is the space after the URL, this space ensures that the text following the space is shown on the page, but it will still link to the URL.

As you already seem to know, you can also use no brackets at all:
 * http://www.google.com will produce: http://www.google.com

The links help page provides a lot of info, it might be worth a look if you want to know more. Hopefully, this will all help, I'll let you fix up the article so you can get some practice, in the meantime, here are a few handy tips that all newcomers should know about:


 * A few basic rules: Try to write from a neutral point of view, be bold in editing pages, and use Wikiquette.


 * A good intro page is the welcome page. The Wikipedia tutorial also gives a lot of basic info that will help get you oriented on Wikipedia. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Help or Where to ask a question.


 * When you post something on a talk/discussion page, you can sign your name by using three tildes ( " ") for your username and four (" ~ ") for your username and a timestamp.


 * Remember to provide an edit summary when editing.


 * If you ever find yourself with nothing to do on Wikipedia, have a look at the Community Portal, you'll find that there's always something happening.

If you ever have any questions, comments, or just want to say hi, don't hesitate to write to me on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Happy editing and have a great day! :-) Akamad 22:57, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
