From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Newcomers help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I noticed you are known only as an IP address; that means you are not signed up. To sign up, you only need to click Create account and choose a username and password. You don't need to provide any personal information. If you sign up, you'll have a username that others can use to recognize you and leave you messages on the wiki. You'll be able to sign your name just by typing four tildes (~~~~) when you leave someone else a message. Plus, you (and others) will easily be able to see a list of all your contributions to Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, ask at the Village pump, or feel free to ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Themindset 19:45, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rex Grossman

Please do not add trivia to the lede section of Wikipedia articles. The fact that the info you are adding is not directly related to Rex Grossman's notability as an NFL player indicates that it belongs in another section. Themindset 19:47, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

The guidelines of this encyclopedia are not set by whether certain demographic groups would be "insulted". A quick check of news stories involving Rex Grossman shows that this is not a relevant issue in the media,[1] which is often a pre-requisite to be of sufficient significance to be mentioned outside of a trivia section.
