Welcome!

. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:

• How to edit a page
• Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article

There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my

using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? :)

I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a nice day. Sincerely, Ryan. 05:37, August 2, 2005 (UTC)

• It's not so much being new as is having a blank talk page. It's almost a sin to have a clear talk page, so the
  welcoming committee comes in and fills it up. :P Ryan

Please don't remove comments and posts from article talk pages, and most especially don't ever reword the comments of others and sign your own name to them, as you did here on the Buffalo, N.Y. talk page. -EDM 01:49, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Sorry about the rewording. But about the removing of comments... what if the comments are irrelevant? I just removed a comment on the Adam_Smith talk page questioning statements on the article page about Adam Smith's sexuality. But there were no longer any statements about sexuality.

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Far Manager

Hey,

Just to let you know, your edit on Far Manager replaced all Cyrillic characters with question marks. I've reverted the article to its state before your edits, and attempted to reapply successive edits on top of that. You may want to review your editing setup to avoid introducing errors in articles again.

Also, did you move the page to

Far Manager (software) because Wikipedia was preventing you from moving it to Far Manager

? Because "(software)" is unnecessary in this case because the software's name is unambiguous.

Decorah, Iowa

Please do not readd any content about the critter until you are able to add a reliably sourced reference stating unequivocally that it was named after the city. Thank you. John from Idegon (talk) 02:50, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
