User talk:South mpls sause
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welcome to Wikipedia!
I noticed you were new, or at least that nobody has officially welcomed you yet, so let me be the first to say hello, give you some tips, and share a few useful links.
One thing we like to tell newcomers is to be bold. By this we mean don't be afraid to join the rest of us in improving the articles you see here. Most Wikipedians are friendly and patient, willing to give you the same respect you give them, no matter who they are or how long they've been here.
It looks like you're the type who isn't afraid to dive right in, which can be great as long as you understand the ground rules. Since being bold does not include being reckless, many new editors feel that it's good to be somewhat cautious at first. It certainly helps to avoid conflicts with other users if you learn the ins and outs before making major changes. If it's a big edit or a controversial issue, you may want to look at the article's talk page to see if the issue has been discussed in the past, or to post a message to see what other editors think about your proposed change before you make it. It's important to cite references and set personal points of view aside.
Here are some links you might find helpful:
- User tutorial
- Help desk
- Policy on maintaining a neutral point of view
- Policy for content when editing articles and creating new ones
- Tips for settling disputes
Now that you have your own user name, you can sign your discussions by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically stamp your user name, the time, and the date. That will help other users reply to your posts. If you want to experiment with coding or see how articles will look before you post them, you can use your own private sandbox at User:South mpls sause/sandbox (the link will turn blue after you start the page). You can edit that page however you want without worrying about disrupting other articles.
I hope this information is useful to you, and I'm looking forward to seeing your contributions. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me for help. Kafziel Talk 16:28, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Check out some of the links above...
They will help show you what stays and what gets deleted on Wikipedia and what vandalism is and why we revert it on site. There are alot of great reads on the above links, especially if you are considering making helpful edits to articles. Cheers. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 19:19, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for experimenting with the page Denmark on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. -- Andy Wang (talk/contrb.) 18:49, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The Game
Please do not add unhelpful and non-constructive information to Wikipedia, as you did to The Game (rapper). Your edits could be considered vandalism, and they have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Ted87 19:36, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
