User talk:Zblobfish/Archive 1

'''I will be archiving posts from my talk page here to keep things neat. Please don't post here; instead, post on my talk page. Thanks!'''

Welcome!
Hello, Zblobfish, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:


 * Introduction and Getting started
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article
 * Simplified Manual of Style

You may also want to complete the Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Wikipedia. You can visit the Teahouse to ask questions or seek help.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

 * Hello! Thank you for the warm welcome and helpful links.  I'll be sure to review them ASAP. :) Zblobfish (talk) 04:47, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. Now I regret not spending the time to make a personalized welcome (I usually don't because most people don't reply or stick around) :) MoonyTheDwarf (Braden N.) (talk) 04:50, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Ha ha, all good. I'm sure there's lots of new users that you send this too, so it'd be tough doing a personalized one each time. Zblobfish (talk) 04:54, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. MoonyTheDwarf (Braden N.) (talk) 04:49, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Roger that! Thank you! Zblobfish (talk) 04:53, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify, replying to things on your talk page is not a minor edit. MoonyTheDwarf (Braden N.) (talk) 04:56, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Oh... awkward. Sorry, still trying to get into the flow of things. Zblobfish (talk) 04:57, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
 * That's fine. Early mistakes are expected, and everyone does makes them. MoonyTheDwarf (Braden N.) (talk) 04:58, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Archiving advice.
I recommend reading Help:Archiving_a_talk_page.
