Welcome to the Wikipedia
Welcome, newcomer!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:


 * First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
 * When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
 * Remember to use a neutral point of view!
 * If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:


 * Policy Library
 * Utilities
 * Cite your sources
 * Verifiability
 * Wikiquette
 * Civility
 * Conflict resolution
 * Brilliant prose
 * Pages needing attention
 * Peer review
 * Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
 * Village pump
 * Boilerplate text

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: &#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;.

Best of luck, and have fun!

Those wacky wikilinks
If you want to make LRS link to Long Range Surveillance, you simly put the new name inside the link, seperated by a |, as follows:

LRS

Your result will be this: LRS.

I hope this helps!

 * Sorry, perhaps I was not being clear. If an article already exists as a name, ie Long Range Surveillance, and I want it to be searchable by a common synonym (LRS) how do I go about that? As it is now, searching for LRS or LRRPS return no results, even though the page exists under a different name.

I think I understand. Perhaps what you wish to create is a "redirect" page.

To do this, create a new article called LRS (click on this red link to do that). In that article, place only the following text:


 * #REDIRECT Long Range Surveillance

Whenever anybody goes to the "LRS" page, they will be automagically forwarded to Long Range Surveillance!

I hope this help more than the last info I gave you... feel free to ask again if I'm still being dense. – ClockworkSoul 08:53, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Education in Palm Beach County
I reverted your edit as it included no references, and some of it appears to violate the policy on maintaining a neutral point of view in articles. --  Dalbury ( Talk )  21:02, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

FPC/ultilayout
Hey, thanks for making the nomination. Have you contacted the photographer about a larger image, suitable for FPC? Great free publicity for Scobel, I say. --Christopherlin 23:53, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

I have not, but I invite you to do it. scobel235@aol.com. I already bothered him a little i think in getting the picture up. Leppy 13:08, 8 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Okay, will do. I wanted to make sure he wasn't getting double requests. :-> --Christopherlin 14:51, 8 March 2006 (UTC) ... and done. --Christopherlin 17:23, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Beer cat question
It has been suggested by User:BrianSmithson and supported by User:Syrthiss that the Beer and brewery categories should be renamed. This proposal has been supported and expanded by myself. The notion is that the regional categories should follow the format of "Beer and breweries in Africa" /Europe/Asia/North America/South America/Oceania. "Brewers and breweries" could also be renamed "Beer and breweries by region". And all the countries should also be renamed (and merged if needed) as, for example, "Beer and breweries of Germany", "Beer and breweries of Britain", "Beer and breweries of Poland". The word in each case would be beer rather than beers to allow for general articles on beer culture in each region as well as individual beers.

Image:Slipped Discs.jpg
This image was copyrighten, not copyrighten, use for any purpose. It has been removed. -- Zanimum 19:26, 11 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Ditto Image:Degenerative disc options.jpg, which I've also removed.


 * It may please you to know that the misleading article has been replaced with one using proper terminology: spinal disc herniation, with a short note about "slipped disc." -- Fyslee 18:06, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Frisbee
Why did you revert from my addition to the frisbee page? Did you even check the links? It's not a joke entry. Or did you just believe the information did not belong on that page? I think it's an excellent addition to the frisbee page. -Michael MEJ119
