Welcome to Wikipedia
Hi, a warm welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions to David Lodge and Sebastian Faulks. You have added valuable content. The Faulkes article was fully stripped in 2010 as it turned out that most of the content had been cut and pasted whole from assorted sources. It is important that you source all your additions and that formatted inline citations are used. This page describes how to properly embed cites. If sources are not added, to David Lodge for example, there is a good chance that they will be reverted. It was not always policy for all new content to be sourced, which is why you will see a lot of unref'd material on Wikipedia. Now sourcing is required, especially in biographies of living people. These links may help you to find your way around:

 * Hi, some more pointers: headings and subheadings are used in this style ==Early career== so that each section is hyperlinked from the contents box at the top of the page. This means the reader doesn't have to scroll down. MOS:HEAD has more on this. Please do add edit summaries so that all the editors watching the article can understand the reasoning behind your edits. Cheers. Span (talk) 16:55, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Hello Quester, thank you for all your new additions to the article. Would you mind fixing up the inline citations? It's probably easier for you as you're going along. I can go through after if it seems all too much. The article is really shaping up. Thank you for your time. Best wishes Span (talk) 21:19, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Of course. Just to be clear: you mean where I've linked to, say, a Guardian article, having the footnote say 'The Guardian, May 26 2010' rather than the web address? Questingbeast (talk) 21:44, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
