== Editing in Wikipedia ==

Howdy! Welcome, I see you have been a whirlwind of editing.

Some tips to help you with editing:

* 1) Please, please, sign your entries on talk pages with four tildes: '''<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>''', it helps to keep things straight.
* 2) In an article, we normally do not put in a second WikiLinki in the body of an article. You can add an additional WikiLinki in a list after the main text.
* 3) We do not put words in all CAPS, unless they are proper pronouns, like UNESCO or some such.
* 4) In dates, do not use ordinal suffixes:
** Incorrect: February 14th
** Correct: February 14
** Incorrect: 14th February
** Correct: 14 February
* 5) Dates of birth and death:
** '''(12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882)''', with brackets of course, is preferred [(12 February 1809–19 April 1882) is acceptable]

SEE: [[Wikipedia:How to edit a page]] for more information.
Also:
* I hope you will put some info in your user page:
'''[[User:Rms125a@hotmail.com]]''', to let us know something about you.

You just did. All you have to do is leave a message on their talk pages. To leave your signature use four "~" symbols. D. J. Bracey (talk) 23:12, 9 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I am sorry to hear that, your edits are not nonsense. Whoever posted that went against the "no biting the newbies" policy. Please use the library instead, Kinko's is way to expensive. D. J. Bracey (talk) 23:15, 9 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome

I am glad that you have decided to register an account here, you have made so many anonymous (unregistered) edits, and it is easier to communicate with a registered user and your comments and votes will be more respected now. Consider telling us about yourself on your User page. I'm not a big fan of using an email address and a user ID, but since you have advertised it often in your past comments, I guess it is not a problem for you. If you wish to claim credit to your previous posts, just make a note of some of the IP addresses you have used (like this one). You are a prolific editor in all sorts of biographies. Where do you find all this stuff? :-)

Concerning the minor revert war you have been involved in: Go to the talk (discussion) page of the article and talk it out with the other editors. Finding sources that back up your position and working out a compromise with other editors is a good thing. Here is the talk page you may want to discuss the Affleck, Connery issue: Talk:List of Catholic Actresses and Actors. Read and learn the Three-revert rule so you won't get yourself blocked in the future over some minor point you disagree with someone else about. A block will stop your ability to edit all articles (even those no one disagrees with you over).

Welcome aboard and feel free to contact me if you need help, and always keep your cool when dealing with other editors. NoSeptember 00:41, 10 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]


TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: HI!! I know a lot about actors and actresses because I have lived kind of vicariously through the arts and have studied and remembered a lot of things, often displacing old incorrect info. with the new info. that invariably becomes uncovered after death or even in life, especially these days!!

I am afraid I passed the three-revert rule long ago, but in my experience the block is very temporary, but I agree that it is pointless to keep correcting stuff that is going to be reverted back by the editor in charge. Please ask Gamaliel or whoever to please PERMANENTLY EXCLUDE Sean Connery, Ben Affleck and Burt Lancaster from the Roman Catholics list because this is completely incorrect, and IN EXCHANGE I PROMISE NOT TO INTERFERE WITH ANYTHING IN THE JEWISH-AMERICAN SHOW BUSINESS FIGURES LISTS THAT I MAY HAVE HAD CAUSE TO DISAGREE WITH (ESPECIALLY SINCE THE DEFINITION OF WHO IS A JEW IS ADMITTEDLY MORE COMPLICATED)!! THANKS!!

  • Don't forget to sign your comments, just type ~~~~ at the end. By the way, there is no "editor in charge" on article pages, this is a community cooperative project, and you are an equal part of it. We may have votes to determine what the consensus is from time to time, but no one is "in charge". And SCREAMING in all CAPS is usually not a good idea, it just upsets some people (though not me). Good luck, NoSeptember 00:57, 10 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
