Hello, TheProzacKid. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm Nøkkenbuer, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge. I understand that this welcome is over a decade overdue, but in the Wikipedia community's defense, many of these welcoming templates didn't even exist back then and the culture was much different. WikiProject Editor Retention didn't even exist as a page until July 2012! Anyway, despite this belated welcome, I hope the following information assists you. Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page, or type  here on your talk page and someone will try to help. Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes   at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this page (your talk page), and a timestamp. Also, please be sure to add descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun! To get some practice editing, you can use a sandbox. You can also [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Mypage/sandbox&action=edit&preload=Template:User_Sandbox/preload create your own personal sandbox] for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then, for easy access in the future, you can put  on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Watchmen are Crimebusters?
Hey, I noticed that you edited the Watchmen (film) article to change one of the instances of "Watchmen" to "Crimebusters" in the "Plot" section, the same kind of edit you also did over three years ago in in January 2015. Firstly, any such claim needs to be supported by reliable sources, which is the wiki way on Wikipedia. Keep in mind that it generally cannot be a user-generated source, such as Wikia, Comic Vine, or (yes, even!) Wikipedia. I can explain more on why if you want, but Wikipedia's policy on verifiability is a good place to start. Secondly, you may be correct when it comes to Moore's comic series, which may be a better place to add a  addition; however, I don't recall the Crimebusters being called as such in the film, which is the article you edited. In fact, from what I'm seeing after doing some web searching, it seems one of the (many) complaints about the film among the more avid Watchmen fans is this very error!

This may be frustrating, but this is a frustration best reserved for the film and those who developed it rather than the Wikipedia article for faithfully summarizing it or editors for protecting that faithful summary. I hope you understand where I'm coming from. If you want any help with editing, feel free to ask either me or at some of these venues. —Nøkkenbuer (talk • contribs) 04:01, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
 * After doing some research, I found a sufficiently reliable source to verify this difference between the series and movie, so I added it to the article in the same exact place you did. I hope that is satisfactory. While searching for this source, I also found some other sources that discuss the differences between the film and the comic series, which I may use to improve the article further when I have the time (I have a lot on my immediate to-do list right now). Again, if you ever want any help with editing, feel free to ask me. Thanks for your interest in improving Wikipedia! —Nøkkenbuer (talk • contribs) 04:45, 20 August 2018 (UTC); edited at 04:49, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
