Additional tips...

  • Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes(~~~~). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). Or use the Image:Signature_icon.png button, on the tool bar.
  • Please do your best to always fill in the edit summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary.
  • If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
Good luck, and have fun. -- ~~~~
