Welcome!

Hello, [[:Template:BASEPItalic textAGENAME]], and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! 

Welcome! You seem to know your way around quite well already! In any case, of a couple of guidelines. First, it's not necessary to sign articles you create. Just add your signature to things you post on talk pages. Secondly, you don't need to insert a section header at the beginning of the article, but just for the first section (after the introduction). Lastly, the subject of the article is only bolded in the first sentence, where it is identified. I debolded the other references to Edison in the article you just created. See the diff. Let me know if I can be any help to you in your project of creating articles for all these feminist artists. I certainly appreciate your efforts to contribute articles on all these important people. Thank you!--Kchase T 07:19, 19 July 2006 (UTC)


Thanks

I appreciate the style hints - they'll also make it easier to set them up in the first place. Learning a new markup language is always a pain. I'll have to dig into the history to find out why wiki's isn't html, but it does explain why a friend threw up her hands at the prospect of helping me with this. She'll contribute articles but wants to have nothing to do with getting them up.

I looked at your talk page - I am an avid consumer of Supremes commentary (Slate, legal sites and blogs), so I'll have to check yours out. My article clearly qualifies as "the occasional oddball article."

So when (or how) does the article go up? Do I need to accept your changes before it appears, or is it grinding it's way through database and link integration? --Rfdutcher 04:11, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

It's up: Laurie Toby Edison. Occasionally the servers are slow to load a new page version, but that usually isn't for more than a couple of seconds. For most articles, the only editorial control is the fact that everyone can edit and there are talk pages for solving disputes. Let me know if you need help with anything.--Kchase T 05:36, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
