User talk:Robd831
Welcome!
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia, Robd831! Thank you for your contributions. I am CaroleHenson 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 {{help me}}
at the bottom of this page. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article
- Discover what's going on in the Wikimedia community
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! CaroleHenson (talk) 06:44, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
User page
[edit]Right now your user name appears in red, because there is not a user page (top left hand corner), which may not be a bad thing. When a link or user information is red, it means that there is not a page with that name yet.
If you would like to play around with designing your user page, you may want to check out the User page design center. You can even just start a page with a sentence or comment - perhaps what you're interests are and why you're here. Happy editing!--CaroleHenson (talk) 07:05, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!

Thank you so much for ensuring that the article content matches the cited sources! Such attention and diligence is great to find in a new editor. CaroleHenson (talk) 18:13, 26 October 2016 (UTC) |
Thank you Carole! Robd831 (talk) 19:08, 31 October 2016 (UTC)Robd831
- My pleasure. I am "watching" this page (i.e., I clicked the star icon at the top of the message area) and so I'll see if you post something here.--CaroleHenson (talk) 22:46, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
Hello Carole, Hope everything is well. A question for you. How do I add a quote to the article? I've raised the issue on the talk page, but nothing has happened. A fellow wikipedian agreed, but that's the extent of it. Thank you.Robd831 (talk) 13:36, 4 November 2016 (UTC)Robd831
- I am assuming you mean other than within a paragraph of text. I use {{Quote|align=left, center or right|width=blank or a %|text=Quoted material. |author=Attribution |source=Reference }} See Template:Quote. If you need help tweaking the formatting, let me know.--CaroleHenson (talk) 14:18, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
Reminder - posting to talk pages
[edit]Hi, just as a reminder, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that will automatically produce your username and the date.
Otherwise, readers have to look at the talk page history to see who posted the message - or, someone with a bot follows behind you and inserts your signature.--CaroleHenson (talk) 17:20, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
