Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

Here are some tips to help you get started:


 * To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type &#126;&#126;&#126; (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (4 tildes).
 * Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
 * If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
 * Follow the Simplified Ruleset
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Remember Neutral point of view
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

Tru Blood
A tag has been placed on Tru Blood, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template   to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Proposed deletion of Tru Blood
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Tru Blood, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. --lifebaka (talk - contribs) 22:30, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Request
Hi. I’m looking to add free-licensed photographs to the articles of the various seasons of MTV’s The Real World, so I’m contacting editors whom it appears may live in or near those cities. Do you live in or near Diamond Head, Hawaii, and if so, would you be able to take some high-quality pics of the Hawaii residence, and upload them here if I give you the location? If not, do you know anyone who can? Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 12:38, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, but I don't live in Hawaii. I took the pictures you saw while on vacation in Oahu. ShawnVW (talk) 08:53, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Capitol Records Building, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cylon (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Redshirt (character), but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. -- DonIago (talk) 19:03, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Groovie Goolies, but you didn't provide a reliable source.

If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 20:13, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Futurama, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 06:10, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 17
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detectedthat when you recently edited Dracula: The Series, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Alucard. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
