User talk:Pretendo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello, Pretendo, I'm Kafziel. I noticed you were new, or at least that nobody has officially welcomed you yet, so let me be the first to say hello, give you some tips, and share a few useful links.
Here are some links you might find helpful:
- User tutorial
- Help desk
- Policy on maintaining a neutral point of view
- Policy for content when editing articles and creating new ones
- Notability guidelines for people
- Tips for settling disputes
- Guidelines for properly writing and formatting articles
I know they're a little boring (okay... a lot boring) but they may come in handy someday.
I give every newcomer two tips for adding content: cite references whenever possible, and try to set aside any personal points of view. Aside from that, just be patient and receptive, ask questions whenever you need to, and have a good time. If you want to experiment with coding or see how articles will look before you post them, you can use your own private sandbox at User:Pretendo/sandbox for any tests you want to do. (The link will turn blue after you start the page.)
Now that you have your own user name, you can sign your comments on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically stamp your user name, the time, and the date. That will help other users reply to your posts. You may also want to fill out your user page to tell others a bit about yourself.
I hope this information is useful to you, and I'm looking forward to seeing your contributions. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me for help. Good luck, and happy editing! Kafziel Talk 01:25, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Welcome
Just another quick note to say welcome. I noticed from your edits and talk page that the USMC is among your topics of interest. I invite you to take a look at the Marine Corps Portal if you have not done so already and please help us out any way if you are interested. We are always looking for new editors to help expand our Marine Corps content. Again, welcome and if you ever need any help please drop me a line. Cheers--Looper5920 02:45, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] World's Smallest Political Quiz userbox
You may be interested in User:Audacity/Userboxes/WSPQ, which is a replacement for the old Political Chart userbox. The new userbox takes the two variables (economic and personal freedom), calculates which political alignment they place you into (Statist, Libertarian, Liberal, Centrist, or Conservative), and links your userpage to the appropriate category.
Please reply to User talk:Audacity, as I will not be watching your talk page. Λυδαcιτγ 07:45, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
