Hi, welcome to Wikipedia! I saw your additions to Michael Crichton. Please not that Wikipedia cannot use information that is copied from other websites like the site you quoted. Further, suggestions about stuff that could be included in the article is welcome, but please place those remarks on the talk page of the article (the tab that says 'discussion' instead of 'article'. Thanks for your efforts however, and if you have any questions, feel free to use my talk page! --JoanneB 22:06, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Copied from Help Desk

When you type four tildas (like this ~~~~) the software replaces that with your user ID (or IP address if you are not logged in) and the timestamp. You can save a "nickname" in your preferences to be used in place of your user ID. By default, this includes a link to your user page. Many people, incuding me, have changed this to also include a link to their talk page.

To leave a message on soemone's talk page, usually you can simply edit the page and add a new section at the bottom (by puttign the title between pairs of equals signs, ==Like This==) and type your comment after it. You can also edit the last section and add a comment after it, or use the + tab if it is availalbe to add a new section. DES (talk) 01:30, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
