I received this message on my user page. "It appears that this template (Help me) is being used on a non-user talk page. Please remove this instance of the template." How do I do that?


 * Welcome to Wikipedia. That message appeared because the "helpme" template is intended for use on talk pages like this; your user page is for you to say something about yourself and your Wikipedia activities, if you choose, to assist communication within the project. See User pages for more about that.


 * The way to remove it would be simply to edit the page and remove the . However, as you wrote "created in error" on the page, I have taken that as a request to delete it. That solves the problem and leaves you a blank user page to use as you wish.


 * Turning to your question, I have looked at the article Awards and decorations of the United States Armed Forces without seeing anything that matches your description. Even on talk pages, helpme is intended mainly for questions about how to use and edit Wikipedia: the place to ask your question would be the WP:Reference desk.


 * Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Manual of Style
 * I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!
