Welcome, and just one thing

Hello IndigoProf and welcome. I just wanted to say something about that little thank-you message that you left on the user page of User:Pharos. You put the message in the wrong place. We are not supposed to change other people's user pages; you need to cut and paste it onto the bottom of his talk page instead User talk:Pharos. Your message also needs a heading like maybe, Thank you, (look to see how others have done that, it's easy) and you should always sign all of your messages by putting four of these wiggly lines like this ~ at the end. The built-in software here will automatically convert the wiggly lines into your signature (with blue links to your user page and talk page) as well as the date. Best wishes, Invertzoo (talk) 14:08, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks! I will be vigilant about this in the future IndigoProf (talk) 14:47, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
