I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Getting the articles just right can be tricky - but there are lots of people to ask!
If you have any questions, just click on the Contact Me link after my signature at the end of this section. Alternatively, check out Wikipedia:Questions, or ask your question on this page and then place {{helpme}}
before the question.
By the way, when you are writing on a discussion page (or someone's talk page), it is considered good manners to sign your comment... to do this, just add ~~~~
at the end of your comment. That will put your user name (Coaster Company) and the date/time at the end (or you can click on the icon when you are editing. Never sign on an article page - only on a discussion page.
There are several ways of getting help:
- Leave a message on this page. It is on my watchlist, which means that I can see when the page is changed!
- Leave a message on my talk page
- Go into IRC Channel #wikipedia-en-help
- Leave a message on this page starting with
{{helpme}}
followed by your question - someone in the IRC help room will be over as soon as possible - Leave a question on the Help Desk or on the New Contributors' Help Page

I am now going to sign this message with my signature, by adding ~~~~

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).
A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.
Please choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. However, do not create a new account if you wish to credit your existing contributions to a new name through a username change. To request a username change:
- Add
{{unblock-un|your new username here}}
on your user talk page. You should be able to edit this talk page even though you are blocked. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page. - At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
- Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a list of names that have already been taken. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.
- Add
