[edit] Your recent edits

Hi, there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button Image:Wikisigbutton.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name 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! --SineBot 01:02, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] September 2007

Please do not delete content from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Talk:Jonestown. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use Wikipedia:Sandbox for test edits. Thank you. JodyB yak, yak, yak 01:05, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make any unconstructive edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant warnings.
Sorry, I'm not a pro at wiki. All items were resolved in the talk point. I did not know about archiving. Please tell me how to do it. I'm trying to clean up some old, resolved, or irrelevant points.

Also, what is the criteria for archiving? The talk page is long and flooded with dated bits. One of the items, for example, is a "hello world" post from two years ago--nothing to talk about. 72.220.166.252 01:38, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Please bear in mind that editing another user's comment to change its meaning is typically considered vandalism. If you disagree with the thrust of the request for comments then the appropriate place to take that up is on the article talk page. Thanks. Tim Pierce 18:00, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Belated welcome

Welcome!

Hello, 72.220.166.252, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name 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! -- Lonewolf BC 15:30, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Further to the welcome, I recommend that you create an account (that is, a named account, instead of just editing as an anonymous IP). Establishing an account has many benefits. In particular, it would give your views more weight with other users, which is most useful in editorial disagreements. -- Lonewolf BC 15:42, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
