Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 10:37, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Talk page guidelines

Hi Phil, please do no quietly change or remove comments already replied to, as you did here. This leaves the replies without proper context, and hence can lead to misunderstandings. You might want to look at WP:TPG and in particular WP:REDACT. If you want to retract something that people have already replied to, strikeout is usually a good option.

Since my reply to your comment was still on its own, I've been able to just delete it - no harm done in this instance.

Welcome!

Hello, Philmacleod888, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

• Contributing to Wikipedia
• The five pillars of Wikipedia

You may also want to take the Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Wikipedia.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome!
