User talk:Petethetke

Hello, Petethetke, and welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed the article you created on Davidson High School (Mobile, Alabama), and wanted to tell you that it's a great start to your editing career on Wikipedia! I took a moment to clean it up a bit, and I hope you like it. Please feel free to contact me on my talk page, whenever regarding this article, as I an a "newbie", too. I joined wikipedia about a month ago, and created my first article on East Grand Rapids High School. Check that out for some ideas on how to expand your article. You may want to also look into adding the "Infobox Secondary School" box to your article. Good luck! Curran (talk) 18:17, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and added it to the article-- please add all applicable information. Curran (talk) 18:17, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you're right, I mis-linked that :-) Sorry about that, but I just copied and pasted, and obviously didn't delete that...

To make a link to another article within Wikipedia, type the following:

[[Name of article]]

However, to make an external link to another website, type the following:

[http://www.example.org/]

But, there's more! For the first one (the internal link), to title it a different name, use the | sign to add text. For example, if I wanted to create a link to the article 'Chevrolet', and have it show up as "Chevy", I would type the following...

 [[Chevrolet|Chevy]]

...which would produce Chevy. For a title to an external link, say I wanted for it say "Curran Rules!" I would type the following...

[http://www.example.org Curran Rules!]

...which would produce Curran Rules!, the external link to "example.org".

I hope this helps! Curran (talk) 19:23, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sign posts...[edit]

Just to let you know, you can sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~), which produces your signature with the timestamp. This allows other users to identify you, and link to this page if they have any comments or questions! That is how I have been signing my name with the date and time... HERE'S A GO:
