Hello, I'm Donner60. An edit you recently made to Darrell Evans (musician) seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 03:09, 11 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Please note that Wikipedia is not a blog or forum. It is an encyclopedia which requires that sources be full set out. It is written in third-party style and the reader is not directed to do anything, including finding sources that are not linked.


 * Here are some links to pages with useful information that can help you in editing and writing for Wikipedia:


 * Introduction to Wikipedia; and Contributing to Wikipedia; and Wikipedia tutorial; and Getting started
 * Avoiding common mistakes; and How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * Simplified ruleset; and Simplified Manual of Style; and Manual of Style
 * List of policies; and List of guidelines
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia; and What Wikipedia is not; and Manual of Style/Words to watch
 * Identifying reliable sources; and Verifiability; and No original research; and Neutral point of view
 * How to copy-edit; and How to create your first article
 * Help:Referencing for beginners; and Help:Footnotes
 * Help:Introduction to talk pages; and Help:Using talk pages; and Talk page guidelines
 * Copyright Problems; and Copyright violations; and Images; and Image use policy
 * Help:Contents and Questions provide guidance and links to pages where help can be requested. Also see Teahouse.


 * If you indent a line (without using some markup like a colon), you will get a strange looking box and some of your text may even run off the screen.


 * There are quite a few links above and some of them provide further links. However, some of the pages are short, some you may not need to look at, at least right of way and I think you can get the gist of the others reasonably quickly. It is good to know that there is some online help at Wikipedia if you know where it is.


 * Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages (but not article edits) by typing four tildes (~) ; this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions or ask your question on this page and then place Help me before the question. You may also ask me a question on my user talk page and I will answer it, if I can, or try to refer you to a page or person that might help, the next time I am online at Wikipedia.
