Welcome!
Hello, Stockton Whitfield, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful: Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! DES (talk) 14:31, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello. I am a designated online Wikipedia online volunteer for the Neurobiology (Spring 2014) ‎class in which you have enrolled. Please feel free to ask me any questions you might have about how to use or edit Wikipedia. I can be reached by posting at User talk:DESiegel. You could also post any questions at the Help desk, which is a page for anyone with a question about how to edit Wikipedia. DES (talk) 14:31, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Posting talk page messages
A small but I hope helpful point about talk page conventions. When pointing on a talk page to start a new thread or discussion topic, it is usual to post in a new section. You can do this by manually entering a section header, or by clicking the "new section" tab at the top of a talk page. This tab may show just a plus sign (underlined so it looks like a plus/minus sign) or it may show "new section" depending on which skin you choose and how your preferences are set. That will open up a form with a 1-line box for the thread topic/subject/headline, and a regular edit box below that.

To enter a section heading manually, surround the Topic with double equals signs, like this:

(Lower level headers can be added with three, four, or more equals signs, but those are not too often needed on talk pages. They are in articles, however.)

I hope this is helpful. DES (talk) 19:49, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Please do remember to post new subjects or threads in new sections on talk pages, as described above. Otherwise talk pages can become quite confusing, especially busy talk pages. DES (talk) 14:57, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
