Welcome back!
Welcome ! 

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm W.carter, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge. 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, a link to this talk) page, and a timestamp. 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. ou can  for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you  put  on.

How to alert other editors
When someone is posting on your talk page you get an automatic notification. That notification is a red square followed by a long yellow box (for most browsers and settings). In all other cases you have to alert the other editor in some way, either by "ping" or by mentioning them in a link. This will result in just the red box notification on that users pages. So even if you respond on your talk page you still have to alert the editor you are addressing. If you want to get hold of me you write resulting in  or W.carter resulting in W.carter and sign with the four "squiggles" ~ at the end and hit "Save". There are some more, but these are the basics. And when you ask something on someone's talk page, you also create a new section so your question don't get entangled in some other conversation. If you are having a conversation with another user on some page, it is also customary to add that page to your Watchlist in case someone in the discussion forgets to alert.

The policy is to leave an answer on the same page as the question, keep the conversation intact unless there is some reason for moving it elsewhere. Like complicated questions at the Teahouse can be continued on the appropriate talk page. w.carter -Talk  15:57, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Wow, I learned something, why wasn't MY welcomer this helpful?(BluJay (talk) 02:12, 17 March 2015 (UTC))

Explaining
I patrolled your page. I went through the enormously-backlogged list of newly-created pages and confirmed that your page was okay: not spam, not an attack page, not a copyright violation, not any of the other reasons for which I would delete someone's page without asking. Then I clicked "patrolled" to remove it from the list of "pages that have not yet been patrolled", and moved on to the next entry. That's all. DS (talk) 02:33, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

You asked an awesome question in the Teahouse!

 * Hi, I doubt you had a Wikipedia account in the 80s. See History of Wikipedia! &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:33, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

Woah! This whole database has been created in around 15 years, YIKES! (BluJay (talk) 02:11, 17 March 2015 (UTC))

Teahouse talkback: you've got messages!

 * I can do a few template modifications of simple things if you need any assistance we can probably work together on it. Once you start editing small things like updating grammar and changing pictures you start figuring out how it all works. EoRdE6(Come Talk to Me!) 04:51, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
