I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

[edit] Couple of Hints
Hey! I just wanted to give you a couple of hints that might help you in your editing here...
ORIGINAL not ORIGIONAL
CHARACTER not CHARICTER
COMPONENT not COMPONANT
If spelling is a problem, you might find it useful to run Firefox which has a built-in spell-check.
- Also, when commenting on a talk page, using :(colon) insets your comment like this. You can use two, three, four, always one more than the person who posted before you to create an easily-read thread of comments.
Read through the edit pages but don't change anything, to learn how the different tags work and how to use them. Also, please remember that this is an encyclopaedia. It is not a personal website! If you want somewhere to put your opinions and to write about your favourite subjects, start your own website. Editing Wikipedia is to improve the quality of the information for the readers. It is NOT about YOU. Belle pullman (talk) 11:36, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] February 2008
Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Thomas the Tank Engine. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Gwernol 13:45, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
- The information was correct. ElphaPearl (talk) 14:11, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
- No, I'm afraid it isn't. Starlight Express is not based on Thomas the Tank Engine. Please read the Starlight Express article, which clearly explains that Weber failed to get permission to create a musical based on Awdry's works. Instead he created Starlight Express, that is based on Weber's own train stories. The musical is unrelated to anything Awdry wrote. Gwernol 14:48, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Spelling
While many of your contributions are helpful, I have to note that you have introduced a number of spelling errors into articles you have edited. Could I suggest you use a spell checker to help you with your edits? Thanks, Gwernol 13:55, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
