This is your Talk page where you can receive messages from other Wikipedians and discuss things with them. At the end of your messages you must put your signature by signing with four ~~~~ (just as I have done) or by pressing the button in the editor bar as shown here in the picture. By the way, you don't need to sign edits that you make in the articles themselves as those messages will be deleted. Another valuable page that may provide information and assistance is User:Persian Poet Gal/"How-To" Guide to Wikipedia. My name is Buster7. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance and contact information. Good Luck editing!

Hi. When you recently edited Monody (band), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Peter Murphy (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.

Your username

edit

Hi there, I thought you might want to be aware that your username could be construed as offensive, as it contains a term found on List of ethnic slurs. I understand it's from a math joke, so I'm not questioning your intentions or anything, but if you'd like to err on the side of caution, you can look over WP:USERNAME, which describes policies regarding usernames and procedures for changing them. Thanks for your contributions! --BDD (talk) 19:56, 24 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
