User talk:Princeton Kobe

Welcome

Hello, Princeton Kobe. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started.

You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit on wikipedia, so, if you like, just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, and ignore all rules, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.

I suggest that you try to improve a few articles first, before you make your own. Maybe look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better.

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

If you need help, please ask! Edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.

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

If you want to know more, there's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of wikipedia!

I didn't mean any offense by reverting your edit. Obviously everyone's portfolio has dropped since September. But you didn't include any source and, since I didn't know of one, I reverted because 16.3 was what the cited source said. I see that you added the source on the talk page, but that was not where it belonged. You should have replaced the previous source with your new source in the article page, which Anastrophe has now done for you.

Also, you are supposed to sign your edits on talk pages with four tildes. I am still getting used to a lot of the procedures on Wikipedia, but you will learn them as you go along. Best, Academic38 (talk) 17:23, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

One other thing you should know is that you are not supposed to delete material from talk pages, except your own. Even on your own page, it's better to archive material rather than delete it. Best, Academic38 (talk) 19:00, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
