Use of talk pages

edit

I'm not entirely sure how to use my own talk page.Preceding comment left unsigned by page owner.

Welcome. Just remember to sign every talk page with 4 tildes, or use the pencil icon above the edit box at the end of each post. When answering others, on their talk pages or here, indent as I have done here, using one or more colons.
Also, I added a header above. Each thread should have one. When there are enough such sections, a Table of Contents will appear. --Hordaland (talk) 04:08, 27 October 2010 (UTC)Reply


Thanks, Hordaland

Your quick response helps me understand how people can get hooked on Wikipedia (even as I'm still trying to learn your fancy nerd codes).

U R welcome. I've never learned the complicated stuff like merging articles or uploading images. But if you need help with everyday customs and codes, just holler. --Hordaland (talk) 16:03, 27 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Helping hand

Greetings! I'm Piotrus, and I've volunteered to be your mentor. (If you'd rather choose your own mentor or don't want one, just let me know; you can request a different mentor from this list of Online Ambassadors.)

I'll keep an eye on your edits as you work on Wikipedia for your class, and try to offer advice where I can. If you'd like any help or advice, please let me know by leaving a comment on my discussion page. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 21:52, 1 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
