User talk:Martialedge

Welcome!
Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I am CTSWyneken. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:


 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk or ask me on my talk page.
 * Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;).
 * Provide an Edit summary
 * Take a look at Consensus of standards. It is always wise to read the talk page of an existing article before making major changes on it. Even then, I typically ask if anyone minds that I make a change. Very often they do! ;-)
 * Create a User page

Again, welcome! And if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. --CTSWyneken(talk)

Please do not add commercial links (or links to your own private websites) to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. See the welcome page to learn more. Thanks. Shawnc 12:46, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

LInks and Pages to your own Sites
Dear Peter: I'm glad you're on board! I see someone else has gotten here before I did. It is OK for you to add information about the Martial Arts, various personalities from its past and present, heck, info about just about anything, providing you can back it up with references to published, non-commercial sources. It is frowned upon to write pages about yourself or your businesses here for several reasons. Number one is that the wiki wants to be as neutral a source of info as possible. Even the best of us find this quite difficult when it comes to personal reputation and businesses. Second is, we all think we're more important than others think we are. Even though I think my work is significant, you'll not find a page on me, or my boss, who's more important than I am or my seminary president, who is a minor historial figure in my church's history.

So, if you know something interesting about Bruce Lee, the Green Belt in Karate or some obscure, but important, master, go for it. But stay away from your own sites.

Oh, by the way, it is very helpful if you sign your talk page posts with four tildes ~ It puts a link to your pages here and dates them, as you see below.

Have fun! Bob --CTSWyneken 09:59, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
