I'm new to this - what is this page and why did someone post that post above on this page within minutes of me opening my account here?

Welcome!

Hello, Drahmad, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your willingness to contribute. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Don't forget to sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~), which automatically produces your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

This is your talk page, where people can communicate with you. The message that was here before was placed by PeeeU, a user just as new as you, by mistake.

I have also replied to your question at the help desk. Again, welcome! -- Meni Rosenfeld (talk) 05:20, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Dummy edits

Note that your recent edit to Wii added a blank line where there was previously no blank line, creating a new paragraph and visible extra space. If you every have to make another dummy edit, make sure you add a blank line to a place where there is already exactly 1 blank line. -- Meni Rosenfeld (talk) 06:03, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, there were 2 blank lines. Again, though, there needs to be only 1. -- Meni Rosenfeld (talk) 06:06, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Looks like I'm tired myself! There was just 1 blank line, but the table structure complicated matters. So I guess the best suggestion is to just check with your eyes that the white space does not increase when you make a dummy edit. Sorry for all the confusion. -- Meni Rosenfeld (talk) 06:11, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for that. Of course, in future I will always remember to use the Edit Summary to avoid this :p I appreciate all your help and it's exciting to be part of this community at last (long time reader and anonymous proof-reader). Drahmad 06:26, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

I hope you will enjoy it! (I've taken the liberty of indenting your reply by adding a colon). -- Meni Rosenfeld (talk) 06:36, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for teaching me these neat tricks! Drahmad 06:53, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
