Hi
Hi Steve. I saw your great post at the help desk. I have no expertise in military history or matters and don't edit in that area (actually my main contributions are in the pool and billiards sphere) but I am an experienced editor and I just wanted to extend the offer that any time you have a question or situation you need help with, you can always leave me a message on my talk page and I'll try to help. In the meantime, I think you might get some benefit out of taking a tour through the Tutorial. Hope to see you around!--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 03:11, 6 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Steve, I also saw your post. The suggestion of the tutorial above is a good one. One route to learning how Wikipedia works is to start slowly and build up as your confidence grows, rather than plunging in and creating new articles from scratch. As it's MILHIST you seem to be interested in, WikiProject Military history/Open tasks has links to articles that need improvement - the easiest improvment is Wikification (creating links to other articles) - either by use of straight wikilinks or piped wikilinks as appropriate. When adding material to articles, WP:CITE and WP:RS are the most important things to remember. Any questions give me a shout. Mjroots (talk) 07:16, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
