[edit] Welcome!

Hi, CharlieGillett, Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you enjoy the encyclopaedia and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ; plus, if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page.

[edit] Additional tips

Here are some extra tips to help you get around in Wikipedia:

  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
  • You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
  • If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.

Here are some tasks you can do:

Good luck. --A. B. (talk) 04:27, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

A word of caution assuming you may be Charlie Gillett or else a very close relative or agent:

  • You're not supposed to be editing your own article (or that of a client or relative) except under unusual circumstances (libel, etc.). See:

What you can do is leave suggestions on the article's talk page at Talk:Charlie Gillett for a neutral 3rd party editor to consider adding. If you do that and get no feedback after a while, then feel free to leave me a note on my talk page at User talk:A. B.

Also, if in case you are Charlie Gillett, you should know that your article gets special treatment as the biography of a living person. Just like Tony Blair or George W. Bush, you don't get an exemption from critical comments in your article, but editors are required to be especially diligent in keeping their wording neutral and any assertions carefully backed up from "Reliable Sources". See this very strongly enforced policy for more information on your rights:

  • WP:BLP - Biographies of Living People

In any event, welcome to Wikipedia -- I wish I was in a location to hear your show -- I enjoy world music.
