Welcome!

Hello, Sayhellogiggles, 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:

You may also want to take the Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Wikipedia. You can visit The Teahouse to ask questions or seek help.

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 ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome!

  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. Sincerely, Marksomnian. (talk) 21:33, 14 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Pro tip on talk pages:

edit

Hi. I see that you're (relatively) new to Wikipedia and I wanted to offer you a Wikimarkup pro tip. On talk pages, when replying to someone, add one colon more than their message. Eg.:


This is a message. ~~~~
:{{Ping|That guy}} This is a reply to it. Notice it has one colon before it. ~~~~
::{{Ping|That other guy}} This is a reply to that message. This time it has two colons before it. ~~~~

It's something that will make your discussion life much much easier. No need to thank me. Sincerely, Marksomnian. (talk) 21:54, 14 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
