Thank you for experimenting with the page J. R. R. Tolkien on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. —Cuiviénen 19:46, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, that looked like a proper edit, not an experiment. Let's try and start again and be a bit more welcoming... Carcharoth 22:37, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
- My apologies, it probably was made with good intentions, I simply read through the eyes of a different editor who had already reverted it. I hope that clears up any misunderstanding. —Cuiviénen 23:31, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi there
editHi David. Hope you don't mind me adding another welcome, as we've actually met in real life. Hope you don't mind if I don't say here who I am (as I prefer to edit Wikipedia anonymously), but I'll try and e-mail you off-wiki if I get the chance. If you want to know how I worked out who you are, it was from the username you chose, and looking at your contributions list. If you want any tips on editing or browsing Wikipedia, I'd be happy to help out. For now though, I'll point you at Wikipedia:WikiProject Middle-earth, though that might be a bit overwhelming (and sometimes chaotic) at first. And I'll also note that your biographical essay on Tolkien is being used as a reference at J. R. R. Tolkien. (Look in the 'Notes and references' section at the bottom)! Hope you stick around and see what you think of Wikipedia. Carcharoth 22:49, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
