User talk:128.12.20.126

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Welcome

Hello 128.12.20.126, and welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Your recent article Joshua reeves has been marked for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy. Since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, there are many types of articles that are simply viewed as not appropriate for Wikipedia. Before spending more time on articles, you may want to review Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with learning to edit by writing articles on you or your friends, but you should do it in the Wikipedia sandbox or on your own user page.

Here are a few more good links for newcomers:

I noticed you are known only as an IP address; that means you are not signed up. When you are you will get a username like mine. (See Wikipedia:Why create an account?). It only takes a username and password to sign up, no information needed (go to Special:Userlogin to sign up). Once you are signed up, you will have a recognizable name that others can use in identifying and corresponding with you. In addition, you might want to add yourself to the new user log.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! -- DS1953 17:20, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
