[edit] A suggestion

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions.

Currently, you are editing without a username. You can continue to do so as you are not required to log in to Wikipedia to read and write articles, however, logging in will result in a username being shown instead of your IP address (yours is 24.5.198.246). Logging in does not require any personal details. There are many other benefits for logging in to Wikipedia.

Please note these points:

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, ask me on my Talk page – I will answer your questions as far as I can! Thank you again for contributing to Wikipedia.

from Wikipedian:


Please take some time to learn how to edit and format the information you are adding and to read some of the guiding principles for the Wikipedia, especially on using a neutral point of view. You are turning the Los Angeles, California article into a chamber of commerce fluff piece. Do not be surprised when some of the material you have added is ruthlessly edited to meet Wikipedia standards. BlankVerse 06:57, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
