Welcome to Wikipedia, DodgyJammer! Thank you for your contributions. I am Harkey Lodger and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Wikipedia:Questions or type {{helpme}}

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your feedback. Here on Wikipedia we try to make sure that the information that we publish is reliable. Our way of doing this is to ask our editors to say where the information that they are adding came from. After adding a fact editors have to add a reference so that others can check that it is real. To be accepted it must be from a reliable source such as a book, a journal, a newspaper or a trusted website.
- You can start adding new text to the article and every time you add or change a fact you put a reference at the end of the sentence.
- You can use your Wikipedia toolbar at the top of the editing screen to make things easier for you.
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):
For more help with getting started, please try Help desk and the help pages.
Hope this helps,

[edit] Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Judi Dench. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Favonian (talk) 11:56, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
Edit summary
[edit]I thought this edit summary was a bit harsh. We all make errors from time to time. Mattythewhite (talk) 11:39, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
Laura Robson
[edit]Per your editing at Laura Robson. Most every time we create these player bios we use their international tennis nationality, which in her case is Great Britain. Andy Murray became so popular and the vandalism so great that a compromise was reached to stop 100s of back and forth edits. Laura Robson is not the same thing, plus she is not an English born citizen like Murray is a Scottish born citizen. Murray plays for Great Britain but his roots are Scotland. Finally there is Wikipedia protocol which you seem to be ignoring. We want you to be bold with your edits BUT, if you change something and it gets reverted, by protocol you don't revert back a second or third time. Instead you bring it to the talk page of the article so multiple editors will weigh your concerns. With good arguments you may be able to convince your peers that your way is correct, at which point it gets changed. Thanks. Fyunck(click) (talk) 20:37, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
