Welcome[edit]

Hi, Anonbox. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person. You can talk to me right now. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. The tips below should help you to get started. Best of luck! –Meiskam (talk•contrib•block) 20:19, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.

Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.

Play in your user area. For example, create User:Anonbox/test.

Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.

When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

Angst[edit]

Hey, I initially reverted your edit because you had removed a lot of the page's formatting. It looked like you had just copied and pasted something in, which happens a lot. I looked it back over and saw that it probably wasn't a copy-paste, since a lot of the wording was the same, so I took some of the expanded info and added it back to the article, retaining the formatting. Long story for a simple mistake, I guess, but just a heads-up that all the formatting should stay in the body of the article. Chubbles (talk) 16:17, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
