Welcome!

Hello, Pluspublicity, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, 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. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome! TN X Man 04:36, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Hello. I am fascinated by this process. I am trying to put references into the article, but I'm thinking I probably started without being thoroughly prepared. Is it OK to keep going with my editing?

How does X work?
I keep getting red Cite reference errors on my page even though I am trying to reference content as you have requested. How do I correct these? Thank you very much for you help.

 * I fixed the error. You have to place reflist in the referneces section in orrder that inline citations you place will appear there. However, you have a confusion I think. Refs tags are for inline citations. They are placed in the text where you want the footnote symbol to appear ([1] [2] [3]). They are not used when you are placing a general reference at the bottom. That would simply be a description of the citation without ref tags. For a relevant guideline, see Citing sources. For a quick tutorial on inline citations, click show below.

How does X work?
helpme Thank you so much for you help. I am getting the hang of it now. It's fascinating! I have another question: who decides when the "This reads like an advertisement ..." panel comes off? I agree that it might have when I started, but it's getting better. Don't you think?

 * Anyone can remove the tag if they've actually acted to remove the advertizing. There is no central authority here exactly. We are all editors; all editing by our own lights (thousands and thousands of us), and we all have the mandate to do such things. However, in practice, experienced users and those with higher access levels such as administrators, often do such things because new users aren't familiar enough with policy and guideline to know when it is proper, and often, like you, aren't aware they even can.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 07:06, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * P.S. When you sign your name, you do it by placing four tildes, which automatically formats to your signature when you click save. When you want to show someone how to make the tildes, in edit mode, you would surround the tildes in nowiki tags, i.e., ~  . This is so you can show people the code itself; the nowiki tags tell the software, "don't recognize the code". So when you are actually signing, use four tildes and do not use any nowiki tags . I assume you got confused because you read a post advising how to sign, but you read it and copied it in edit mode, rather than normal reading mode. Cheers.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 07:06, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * P.P.S Wikipedia is absolutely huge and there is so much to know; your newbie stumbles are absolutely normal, and do not hesitate to place the tag again and again, or visit us at the help desk.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 07:12, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
