Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello, Slshanks42. Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions. My name is Howicus, and I've been an editor here for some time. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful: If you're working on creating a new article, you should take a look at this page on your first article, and use the article wizard here to get started. Also, this page has instructions on how to cite sources, complete with videos.
 * Introduction and Getting started
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article
 * Simplified Manual of Style

If all this Wikicode is a little overwhelming, this cheatsheet may help untangle it.

If you're looking for a tutorial of sorts, The Wikipedia Adventure is a good option.

And if you need more help, I'd recommend getting live help at the Wikipedia help chat channel: click here to join. Additionally, you could ask me on my talk page, try the Teahouse (a help page for new users) or and a volunteer will visit you here shortly

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. Again, welcome, and have fun editing! Howicus (Did I mess up?) 02:44, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the help.
Once again, thanks for the help. Are you able to delete the page, then, or can I do it?

I will concentrate my efforts on improving the International Planetarium Society's page, then, and probably will add a section on IPS initiatives that includes mention of the International Day of Planetaria.Slshanks42 (talk) 03:18, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
