User talk:Wayne James Sheppard

Confusion getting started
Hi, welcome. I saw your cry for help.

I will speak frankly;


 * First alarm bell is, you said "our name". Wikipedia accounts are per person and cannot represent a group.


 * The second is, it sounds like you want to write about yourself, which is generally a bad idea, and discouraged.

That said (and I hope you understand, it had to be said) - if you want to help improve Wikipedia, I'd be really happy to help you.

For more help, you can either;


 * Leave a message on my own talk page;
 * Put at the end of this page, and ask your question
 * Talk to us live, with this or this.

The below message, whilst it is of course a 'template' standard greeting, does contain useful advice.

I'll answer your question
To add a wikipedia page that is headed by Wayne James Sheppard (without the word user in front of it), click on Wayne James Sheppard and type away. As for a biography format, 1. click on Wayne James Sheppard, 2, add " " (add everything between the " ", including the double brackets), 3. save. Then, 4. replace the Biography template text with the text Biography, references, etc. To get your photos to appear in Wikipedia, upload them into commons.wikimedia.org. Once you upload them into commons.wikimedia.org, post a note on my talk page and I'll show you how to get them to appear in Wikipedia. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 03:54, 27 February 2011 (UTC)


 * ...but you might be best using the WP:WIZARD and making a draft.  Chzz  ► 04:01, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
