This is being posted on your Talk page where you can receive messages from other Wikipedians and discuss issues and respond to questions. At the end of each message you will see a signature left by the editor posting. This is done by signing with four ~~~~ or by pressing or in the editing interface tool box, located just above the editing window (when editing). Do not sign edits that you make in the articles themselves as those messages will be deleted, but only when using the article talkpage, yours or anothereditir's talkpage. Another valuable page that may provide information and assistance is User:Persian Poet Gal/"How-To" Guide to Wikipedia. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance and contact information.

Good Luck and happy editing! ````Buster Seven Talk 14:26, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Good Morning

Well. That was surprising. Explanation. It was the first implementation of a Welcome template. I've got to talk to the designer 'cause there must be a slight glitch. Anyway, Welcome to Wikipedia. I'll stay in touch since this first meeting is so unusual. ```Buster Seven Talk 14:31, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

OK...this was my fault. I have not yet fixed the bug in the Template's documentation page with directions. For some reason the page itself Template:WikiProject Editor Retention/Welcome/doc is fine and has the correct link to the welcome page template. However...when it was automaticly transcluded onto the Template page (Template:WikiProject Editor Retention/Welcome) as directions for use...it is not listing the proper link. Which is why you see a red link (a red link means that the link itself exists to a page that has not been created yet). The reason for this confusion is actually kind of simple. Wikipedia does not allow automated signing/signature on Wiki pages. This is due to a number of code recognition reasons. The template itself will show on the article or talkpage when the template is linked using the {{}} brackets but does not tranclude the text into the editing box. When using the mark-up code {{subst:Template:page name}} all the text from the template is shown in the editing box...and the tildes (as precoded for automated signing) work and sign the username of the person placing the template. I will endeavor to fix this problem today. Just remeber if you are using a template with tildes pre-coded YOU MUST USE the subst: coding. Sorry for any confusion. Hope this more advanced lesson has not been to off putting for MR v. MR from 2008, but it is a valuable lesson nonetheless. Happy Editing and if you have any questions be sure to ask on my talk page!--Amadscientist (talk) 21:17, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to MR v. MR from 2008, without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.  [[ axg ◉ talk ]] 15:15, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to move pages to bad titles contrary to naming conventions or consensus, as you did at July 2012 India blackout, you may be blocked from editing. JohnCD (talk) 15:29, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
