User talk:Ruthfinn

This is being posted on your Talk page where you can receive messages from other Wikipedians and discuss issues and respond to questions. At the end of each message you will see a signature left by the editor posting. This is done by signing with four  ~  or by pressing or  in the editing interface tool box, located just above the editing window (when editing). Do not sign edits that you make in the articles themselves as those messages will be deleted, but only when using the article talkpage, yours or another editor's talkpage. Another valuable page that may provide information and assistance is User:Persian Poet Gal/"How-To" Guide to Wikipedia. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance and contact information.

Welcome!
Hello, Ruthfinn, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited was Quotation, where your update appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

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! You can also 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 my talk page. Again, welcome! Mirokado (talk) 14:53, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

List of science fiction authors
Hello again. I'm sorry, but I have undone your change to List of science fiction authors too. You will notice that all the entries in the list have a link (a "wikilink") to the article about them, so we need the article for anyone added to the list. You also need to pay attention to the existing contents of an article when updating it, clearly you didn't add the new entry in the correct alphabetical order. You can use the Preview button to see what your change looks like before saving it. (There was also a typo in the date, that someone could have corrected if that were the only problem). Please don't feel discouraged, there is a lot to get used to but editing Wikipedia can be a lot of fun! --Mirokado (talk) 18:43, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
