Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello Jon Rob, welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed nobody had said hi yet... Hi!

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

You might like some of these links and tips:

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alf melmac 14:20, 10 October 2005 (UTC).Reply

General Problem

edit

I liked your contrib to General knowledge, but I think the Trivia Article was sufficient. As you'll notice I set up the redirect. If thats no good for you, we can put General knowledge Back, just let me know. Dragoonmac - If there was a problem yo I'll solve it 22:52, 27 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Gone to Earth

edit

You added a comment to say that it was filmed around Ludlow as well as Much Wenlock. It wasn't really. Ludlow castle appears in the background of the point-to-point scenes but they are filmed at Eyton. Ludlow castle is miles away so it must be a clever fake, probably a hanging miniature, added to give the scene a dramatic background. - SteveCrook 16:20, 15 July 2006 (UTC) Powell and Pressburger Appreciation SocietyReply

Thanks for adding the media references section to the Aerated Bread Company article! I had been working on the article recently, taking it from a stub to a full article, and it had not occurred to me to add such a section. I was especially remiss since the thing that drove me to the topic in the first place was a reference to an ABC teashop in the Agatha Christie novel, The Secret Adversary. When an ABC teashop was referred to in the story, I had had no idea what it was! In any event, I added a quote from the short story collection you referred to — The Old Man in the Corner — and also added a section for the Secret Adversary. Thanks also for piquing my curiosity about the Orczy stories: I’ve added the collection to my cart at Amazon! —Preceding unsigned comment added by SpikeToronto (talkcontribs) 15:03, July 4, 2009 (EDT)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of fictional island nations, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Death in Paradise (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Short cites

edit

Hi. When a full book cite is given in the references or "Sources" section at the bottom of an article, you can then put a "short cite" in the text, such as "Shaw, pp. a–x". See WP:CITESHORT. The full cite must contain the author name, year of publication, title and publisher name. If there is more than one book cited by an author, then also give the year: "Shaw (1892), pp. a–x". Use n-dashes, not hyphens, to separate page numbers. Happy holidays. -- Ssilvers (talk) 16:24, 25 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
