Welcome to Wikipedia!!!
{| style="border-spacing:8px;margin:0px -8px" width="100%" {| width="100%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="5" style="vertical-align:top; background-color:#F5FFFA" !  Hi, PoppyAlexander,  Welcome  to Wikipedia! I hope you like this place &mdash; I sure do &mdash; and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the Five pillars of Wikipedia and simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Help and the FAQ, plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page or place  on your talk page and someone will be by to help you shortly.

Additional tips
Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!
 * If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
 * You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Five will get you the datestamp only.
 * You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
 * If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
 * If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
 * If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Happy Wiki-ing. &mdash; Kf4bdy talk contribs

Myerscough College
Yes, that looks much more encyclopaedic. Just a suggestion though; when you're editing, you can use the preview button, and then make further edits, rather than the save button many times. It keeps the edit history tidy, and makes it easier to find things! Anyway, that seems a sensible edit of the info, but don't feel you have to omit genuinely useful info just to cut it down. I was just a bit worried that it may have been copied from elsewhere, also. Now, it's much better. --  (James McNally)   (talkpage)   11:07, 27 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi there just to let you know that I have re-written the Myerscough College which you created and have done a lot of work on, as it was not really up to wikipedia standard. For instance there was no lead section, where the articles name appears in bold which is a requirement for articles) and still read like an advert in some parts for the college. I have added a refs section correctly formatted, and added sourced content. However some of the article still needs to be sourced and I have therefore added citation tags. Thanks. ♦Tangerines♦ · Talk 00:14, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
