Welcome!

Hello, Chekaz, Welcome to Wikipedia!
I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at Naming Conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and if you can't find your answer there, check the Village pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my New-Users' Talk Page.
Additional tips:
Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:
  • If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.
  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills, try the Sandbox.
  • Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
  • You might want to add yourself to the New User Log
  • If your first language isn't English, try Wikipedia:Contributing to articles outside your native language
Happy editing!

Hi. Your George Bernard Shaw contributions have to be more than just a single sentence. Anyone looking up this info knows they're looking up a Shaw play. I'm redirecting to the main George Bernard Shaw article for now, but feel free to add some more meat to these to make stub articles out of them. Later! - Lucky 6.9 23:33, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Shaw articles

edit

Lucky 6.9, thanks for the information and the edits. I was, however, attempting to build out the list of Shaw's plays, and was merely adding very simple stubs to include links back to the Shaw main page along with the year of first publication of the plays. After I was finished with this, I was planning to flesh out as many of the play-specific pages as I could. Unfortunately, the little bit of information that I had included in those pages you decided to redirect is now gone. If you don't mind, I'll try and put the pages back the way they were so I don't have to redo that bit of reserach when I finish constructing the list of plays. Chekaz 03:14, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

    • By all means, please do so. In fact, the redirects should have the original edits in their edit history. Just go to the George Bernard Shaw article and click on the "What links here" on the left side of the screen. The redirects will be visible on the screen that pops up. I apologize if I've created extra work for you. - Lucky 6.9 04:46, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
