From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Welcome!

Hello, Herb Smith, Welcome to Wikipedia!
I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at Naming Conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and 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 the 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 New-Users' Talk Page.
Additional tips:
Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:
  • If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.
  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills, try the Sandbox.
  • Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
  • You might want to add yourself to the New User Log
  • If your first language isn't English, try Wikipedia:Contributing to articles outside your native language
Happy editing!

Your article on Roy Face doesn't say what sport you're talking about, nor what country, nor what team, etc. Could you add the details? Have a look at other articles in the same area, and see how they're presnted. Enjoy yourself! Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 11:09, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Roy Face again

Sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean; how could my message here delete your work on the article? The best approach to an article, though, is to start with something reasonably article-like, and then add to it. Oh, and remember always to sign your messages (as in the Welcome message); I had to look at the history of my page in order to work out who I should be replying to.
