[edit] Welcome!

Hi, G. Thomas, Welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some tasks you can do:


I hope you like this place--I sure do--and want to stay. If you need help on how to title new articles check out Wikipedia:Naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and The FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check The Village pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or The Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on My User talk Page.

Additional Tips:

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

  • If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.
  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like &#126&#126~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
  • You may want to add yourself to the New User Log
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.

Happy Wiki-ing. -- John Fader 18:43, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Infoboxes

Just wanted to say that I think you are doing great work on Wildernesses and Mountain ranges. Generally for mountain range articles, it may be best to use the infobox mountain template which is used by the Wikipedia:WikiProject Mountains. You can always copy and paste one from this article, which is the currently used template for all mountain articles.--MONGO 08:33, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Additionally, you may wish to add the template {{Messagebox protected areas}} to those articles that are either parks, forests, national wildlife refuges or wilderness on the talk pages of article you come accross or create, and {{Mountain}} to article talk pages related to mountains and mountain ranges. Your images are excellent by the way.--MONGO 08:46, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

You may wish to join the mountain project list above or Wikipedia:WikiProject Protected areas if you plan on doing lots of articles related to these areas.--MONGO 08:47, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
