User talk:Greedyredbag

Welcome!

Hello, Greedyredbag, 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 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!

Yes, I know, it's a bit late, but no-one seems to have noticed you so far.

• As for Dammit, yes, I can go back and look at that. To be honest, I was taking a shortcut, as the material would have needed copyediting. I'll get back to it. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 18:03, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Where it makes sense to cite sources in the article, you can do it either in a section 'sources', or in one called 'external links'. Generally, though, unless what you're writing about is controversial, you can just quote your sources on the Talk pages, in case other editors need to check them.

• I'm afraid that I couldn't make any sense of your edit summary. Why do you think that the normal rule (that numbers under 100 be spelt out) should be broken here? Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 19:12, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• There are so many exceptions to this rule [1] that I wonder why it's worth one's getting into pxssing contest. Oh well, I guess that's just me. ;-) hydnjo talk 23:37, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
