User talk:Ljprice
{{helpme}} I just added my first wiki talk section to the article on Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. I added a lot of text and I did not get the format I expected. I have read the wiki edits how to page, but I am confused about how much formatting I need to put in with the wiki codes and how much the wiki editor does for me with the buttons on the edit page. I know HTML, but I am not used to the wiki style codes yet.
Thanks in advance Ljprice 03:15, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- Greetings Ljprice, I am checking into your edits to see how I can help you. --Skywolf 03:19, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- I see by the talk page that your text was put into a 'code box', and I'm assuming you wanted this text just indented. If that was the case, you may put ':' at the beginning of a line to indent it, you may include multiple ':'s to indent even more, such as the following example:
- example1
- example2
- example3
- example2
- example1
- You can get an idea by going to the edit button on a page and check out the format that others used to write with. Just remember that if you wish to play around you should use the Sandbox.
- Please reply to this if I did not answer a question you had about your edits, also include more about what your intent was as well. --Skywolf 03:28, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Anatoli Boukreev and the Everest Controversy
[edit]I liked your comments and agree with you. I'm going to edit the article as you suggested, and refer readers to the Everest article if they want to get into a controversy or two.
