User talk:ShannonA
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
==Welcome== Hello ShannonA and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you've chosen to join us. This is a great project with lots of dedicated people, which might seem intimidating at times, but don't let anything discourage you. Be bold!, explore, and contribute. Try to be civil by following simple guidelines and signing your talk comments with ~~~~ but never forget that one of our central tenets is to ignore all rules.
If you want to learn more, Wikipedia:Tutorial is the place to go, but eventually the following links might also come in handy:

Float around until you find something that tickles your fancy. One easy way to do this is to hit the random page button in the navigation bar to the left. Additionally, the Community Portal offers a more structured way to become acquainted with the many great committees and groups that focus on specific tasks. My personal favorite stomping grounds are Wikipedia:Translation into English as well as the cleanup, welcoming, and counter-vandalism committees. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki projects that you might enjoy. If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask me anything on my talk page. Again, welcome! -- Draeco 19:30, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Please no links to RPGNet
Hi, thanks for all your contributions to Wikipedia. Please do not make external links to RPGNet, however. Because you are an administrator of that site, it is against Wikipedia style guidelines for you to add external links to the site. Please see Wikipedia:External links#Links normally to be avoided, specifically point number 3, for details. Thanks! Fairsing 03:12, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
- As a follow-up comment, it might be that your external links would be value-added to the encyclopedia. If you think that is the case, the suggested Wikipedia approach would be to add a comment to the appropriate Talk page and allow other editors to make the determination whether the link to your site should be included in the actual article.
