Hello Thomson,

The 4 very short articles you have written, apparently about the staff of a media outlet, really need to be a bit more substantial. At the very least, please include some information about what the media outlet is, where it is, etc., before creating more of these. SB_Johnny | talk 11:15, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Wikipedians try to follow a strict policy of never biting new users. If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator. One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with four tildes (~&#126;). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD! --Mr Stephen 11:23, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
