[edit] Welcome to the Wikipedia!
Hello, and Welcome to the Wikipedia, Firewall62! Thanks for the copy edit over on the Biochemistry article. Here are a few perfunctory tips to hasten your acculturation into the Wikipedia experience:
- Take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial and Manual of Style.
- When you have time, please peruse The five pillars of Wikipedia, and assume good faith, but keep in mind the unique style you brought to the Wiki!
- Always be mindful of striving for NPOV, be respectful of others' POV, and remember your perspective on the meaning of neutrality is invaluable!
- If you need any help, post your question at the Help Desk.
- Explore, be bold in editing, and, above all else, have fun!
And some odds and ends: Boilerplate text, Brilliant prose, Cite your sources, Civility, Conflict resolution, How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Pages needing attention, Peer review, Policy Library, Utilities, Verifiability, Village pump, and Wikiquette; also, you can sign your name on any page by typing four tildes: ~~~~.
Best of luck, Firewall62, and most importantly, have fun! Ombudsman 04:01, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Headings
Hi. Just a note. This edit was against Wikipedia conventions (WP:MoS#Headings). There should be no capitals except for the first word and proper names. I thought I'd let you know. :) You can reply here if you have comments. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 15:14, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, OK. Thank you very much for letting me know. That is a shame since the newspaper headlines look stupid in an encyclopedia. But I am glad that I know how to properly construct them now. In the future, I will be more careful.
- Cool. :) Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 18:50, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] A(n) Heiress
Hi there, for some reason I stopped by the Paris Hilton article today. I noticed in the first section that heiress was preceded by "a" instead of "an," so I changed it because I like fixing little things. Had I known that you had made the reverse change a few minutes ago, I might have taken a few minutes or left an edit summary or something. You'll find justification for my revert here A and an. davewho2 21:35, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
