Additional tips...

Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). The or button, on the tool bar above Wikipedia's text editing window, also does this.

If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.

Reports[edit]

Please don't change other editors reports, as you did here [1]. If you'd like to respond to the report, feel free. However, don't change the content. If it's faulty, please let an admin make that decision. Dayewalker (talk) 04:15, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To expand on that, editing or removing other editors' comments on a talk page, noticeboard, or deletion discussion is considered bad practice. The one exception is your own talk page: you may blank comments left on your own user talk page, and the act of deleting the message is treated as acknowledgment of the message. —C.Fred (talk) 04:20, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also, for replies to messages I leave you here, just reply right below. I have your user talk page on my watchlist, so I'll see the reply—you do not need to leave a talkback notification. (Not every user does that: for others, you'll need to reply at their talk pages, as you did initially to me.) —C.Fred (talk) 04:27, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Mattyjacky. You have new messages at C.Fred's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

How do I add pages to my watchlist please? Also is what you said about talk page a wikipedia consensus or your personal opinion?

Hello, Mattyjacky. You have new messages at C.Fred's talk page.

Got it. Thanks. However, I'm not immediately comfortable with letting every person leave messages on my page. But there are definitely good reasons for what you have suggested.

Hey, you made some good arguments over on the Chinaman discussions.Dwarm12345 (talk) 15:15, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

[Reports][edit]

It was faulty. I intended to add. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattyjacky (talk • contribs)

Feel free to add, but please don't delete anyone else's reports. Thanks! Dayewalker (talk) 04:22, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It was by mistake. Thanks. Editing wikipedia pages is not to win an edit war between two users. The most important point I will raise is to get a third person's opinion. It's counterproductive to debate between only two authors indefinitely.

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

Sockpuppet Investigation[edit]
