I am a statistical mathematics PhD candidate, mad about everything math, chess and related to my fave instrument, the Ukelele. I hope to add lots of useful information to all Ukelele and Chess articles. Pleased to be here, thanks for dropping by:).

  • Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. The ukulele is indeed a marvelous instrument; I'm on my way to a ukulele retreat tomorrow. However, Wikipedia has very strict policies regarding original research and verifiability. Further, Wikipedia is not a how-to guide. So, I've had to remove your wonderful additions to ukulele; I hope you understand. --jpgordon::==( o ) 04:03, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    By the way, I have a much simpler way of stringing the uke to the peg. Put the string through the hole. Pull it as taut as you easily can. Then send the string first under itself toward the outside, and then over it self to the inside. Then turn the tuning key and the string locks into place immediately. The fewer winds the string makes around the peg, the better it will stay in tune. --jpgordon::==( o ) 01:55, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In response to your feedback

[edit]

Welcome. When editing it is good to cite reliable sources this shows the text is not original research.

If you need help editing,

Citations are easy to add ....... There is a "Cite" toolbar at the top of the edit window which allows you to automatically generate the required wiki code.

You click one of the templates, e.g. "book", and fill in the details.

More information can be found in Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or the citations tutorial (the below video will play best in Firefox or Chrome):

Hope this helps,
