Hello, Pldaab. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm Crtew, 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:   Introduction to Wikipedia   The five pillars of Wikipedia   Editing tutorial   How to edit a page   Simplified Manual of Style   The basics of Wikicode   How to develop an article   How to create an article   Help pages   What Wikipedia is not

Some common sense Do's and Don'ts:   Do be bold   Do assume good faith   Do be civil   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 vandalize   Don't get blocked

If you need further help, you can:   Ask a question

or you can:   Get help at the Teahouse

or even:   Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

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

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 userpage.

First steps

Congrats! You did it all and on the first attempt.  Done Good work, Crtew (talk) 18:39, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

I fixed the code problem on you user page. It had a redirect to Elletsville, Indiana to just display Elletsville you would include this "|Elletsville" after the Indiana in the wikilink! Crtew (talk) 18:39, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Adopt a Journalist Project

I'd like to explore Australia. Pldaab (talk) 07:16, 18 January 2014 (UTC)  

You are assigned to write about the Killing of the Cholon Four, which is about the death of Australian journalists during an ambush in Cholon, Saigon during the Vietnam War. Crtew (talk) 20:45, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

A good model for this as you start would be the article on the Balibo Five, which is also about a group of Australians who were killed in Southeast Asia. Crtew (talk) 21:48, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
