Greetings Mstar!

First of all, welcome to Wikipedia. Best of luck in making good edits.

I wanted to let you know that I just reverted an edit that you made at Talk:Popcorn. While you are certainly free to make any constructive edits to any article, it is usually not a good idea to edit remarks left on a talk page, unless you have permission from the editor who left them (or unless you are 200% sure that the comment is patent nonsense. If there is something offensive, you might consider politely asking the editor to redact their edit.  Don't worry about this too much .... everyone makes little mistakes like this, and the nice thing about editing here is that virtually anything can be undone.

If I can give one piece of advice: make sure that you look over three important policies that new editors usually run afoul of:
 * WP:Civility, this is how not to act, and what to do if you do run into jerks
 * WP:Notability, this talks about the qualifications for an article .... not everything on earth qualified to get an article, and some people spend a lot of time writing one, only to see it get deleted.
 * WP:Verifiability, this talks about the importance to have any information that you add supported by good sources. Anything that is not sourced can be challenged and deleted by any other editor.

Best of luck! Hopefully the welcome banner I left will guide you to other information if you need it. LonelyBeacon (talk) 14:43, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
