From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

You are welcome to continue editing articles without logging in, but you may wish to create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits. For one thing, if you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.

In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on your talk page. Again, welcome!

[edit] BC / BCE etc

Please note the WP:style guidelines about Year designations.

" Years are normally expressed in digits; a comma is not used in four-digit years (1988, not 1,988).

Avoid inserting the words the year before the digits (1995, not the year 1995), unless the meaning would otherwise be unclear.

Either CE and BCE or AD and BC can be used to specific the era; these abbreviations should be spaced, undotted (without periods) and upper-case. Be consistent within the article. AD appears before or after a year (AD 1066, 1066 AD); the other abbreviations appear after (1066 CE, 3700 BCE, 3700 BC). The absence of such an abbreviation indicates the default, CE or AD.

While either of the two styles are acceptable, it is inappropriate for a Wikipedia editor to change from one style to another unless there is some substantial reason for the change. " (my emphasis)

Whilst not wanted to push one point of view or the other, arbitarily changing dates from BC to BCE etc often causes broken wiki links or other formatting problems. Please consider the existing WP policy. johnmark† 17:23, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] April 2008

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as in Talk:John McCain, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button Image:Signature_icon.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. - DiligentTerrier (and friends) 23:58, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

[edit] June 2008

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to List of United States Presidential religious affiliations‎. Your edits appeared to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Blueboar (talk) 20:55, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or delete portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did to List of United States Presidential religious affiliations‎, you will be blocked from editing. - you have been told repeatedly that in order to add the claim that Washington was a deist, you need a source... and you have been told repeatedly not to remove Jefferson's Anglican affiliation, as that is sourced.
