Hi, one of the first thing to learn is how to sign comments. You do it by placing 4 tildes at the end of your text. To add a section to a page add == section name == to the page on it's own line. If you have specific questions not addressed in the welcome above feel free to ask me on my talk pages. -- SusanLarson (User Talk, New talk, Contribs) 02:40, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Talk page advice

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia.

You ask for instructions on your user page, so here's one bit of advice. An article's discussion page is not the place to give your opinion about the subject matter of the article, such as you did with Manifest Destiny. (I agree with your opinion, but that's beside the point.) The purpose of an article's discussion page is to work out ways to improve the article, and not to give our two cent's worth about the topic in general. Or, as they say in Wikipedia:Talk pages:

On Wikipedia, the purpose of a talk page is to help to improve the contents of the main page, from an encyclopedic point of view. Questions, challenges, excised text (due to truly egregious confusion or bias, for example), arguments relevant to changing the text, and commentary on the main page are all fair play.
Wikipedians generally oppose the use of talk pages just for the purpose of partisan talk about the main subject. Wikipedia is not a soapbox; it's an encyclopedia. In other words, talk about the article, not about the subject.

Hope that is helpful. Have fun! --Kevin Myers | (complaint dept.) 14:30, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
