Hello Garli! Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. If you decide that you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Please remember to sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. You may also push the signature button   located above the edit window. Finally, please do your best to always fill in the edit summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. Below are some pages to facilitate your involvement. Happy editing! -- Kukini hablame aqui 22:53, 26 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

User talk pages and user pages

edit

Regarding user talk pages, it is preferred to not delete notices, but instead, to archive them. You will find how to do this here, under "When pages get too long." Your talk page is intended to serve as a place to discuss your contributions. It ends up being a sort of a history of the work you've done and the conflicts you've been in, or the praise you've received. It's alright to archive comments or warnings, but blanking your talk page is relatively less appropriate, as it is not actually yours but instead belongs to us all. Please read WP:USERPAGE and WP:TALK. When you desire to keep the "clutter" down on your user talk page, I suggest that you create archives for these messages. I would be happy to assist you in doing just that if you ask me to. You can see a sample of archives (mine) here. As for your user page, most users seem to use it as a place to describe themselves as people and/or editing entities. Many collect links to pages they are working on and/or have been working on. You user page is more "yours," in a way, than anywhere else on wikipedia, but is not intended to serve as a personal webpage either. Once again, read here to learn more about this. -- Kukini hablame aqui 22:53, 26 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Message from Ron Mitchell

edit

Hi there! Just did an edit on the hedge fund page changing "it's" to "its", then afterwards realised that it was you who had put in the "it's". I don't know if English is your native language or not, but dealing with these two forms is something that even a lot of native speakers get wrong, because it seems to contradict other usage. The rule is: when it means "belonging to it" there is NO apostrophe in "its". The apostrophe only appears when the word is expressing an abbreviation for "it is" or "it has". Examples: "Do not judge a book by its cover" (cover belongs to book) "It's time to go home." (it is time to go home). See ITS. All the best, Ron. (Rrgmitchell (talk) 00:14, 17 May 2010 (UTC))Reply

OK, I'm sorry, I give it up to edit any kind of English language article :((
