Hello, EightTwoThreeFiveOneZeroSevenThreeOne. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm Crystallizedcarbon, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.
Some pages of helpful information to get you started:

Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:

  Do keep cool!
  Do maintain a neutral point of view
  Don't spam
  Don't infringe copyright
  Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest
  Don't commit vandalism
  Don't get blocked
If you need further help, you can:
  Ask a question
or you can:
  Get help at the Teahouse
or even:

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
  Fight vandalism
  Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
  Help contribute to articles
           
  Perform maintenance tasks
  Become a member of a project that interests you
  Help design new templates

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Information icon Hello, I'm Crystallizedcarbon. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Sukumara Kurup— because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. CrystaC (talk) 11:01, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Crystallizedcarbon:, are you sure it was my change you meant to revert? I reverted a large inappropriate addition which was also almost certainly a copyright violation, and you put it back. EightTwoThreeFiveOneZeroSevenThreeOne (talk) 11:05, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Update: Yes, it was indeed a copyright violation. EightTwoThreeFiveOneZeroSevenThreeOne (talk) 11:13, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hello EightTwoThreeFiveOneZeroSevenThreeOne, If you click here you can see that in the edit I reverted you inserted the text "most0wanted" and removed the "a". I can see for your next edits that this was just a typo and not a nonconstructive edit, so please feel free to remove this section from your talk page if you want. By the way, the "-" between wanted and criminal in "most wanted-criminal" should probably not be there, but I also think the article should be deleted per WP:BLPCRIME so it does not matter. If you need any help in the future you can let me know. Regards. --CrystaC (talk) 12:51, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Actually @Crystallizedcarbon:, you reverted all three of my edits, reinserting the copyvio - this is the diff of your edit, while trying to revert my one erroneous edit. I believe that's what Huggle does (as does Twinkle), so you need to be careful if that's not what you intend. EightTwoThreeFiveOneZeroSevenThreeOne (talk) 13:53, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
PS: Thanks for the welcome message! EightTwoThreeFiveOneZeroSevenThreeOne (talk) 13:55, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that is what happened. Regards.--CrystaC (talk) 14:49, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A kitten for you!

Hi EightTwoThreeFiveOneZeroSevenThreeOne, Is the language of the WGSSCairnCrew really mellifluous and pompous, or is it simply contrasting with the overly static WGSS page? I've heard that an eagle raised by ducks becomes a duck. ;) --> winky face. Gotta spice things up a bit, eh?
