Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might like to see:

You are welcome to continue editing articles without logging in, but you may wish to create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits. If you edit without a username, your IP address (198.182.9.42) is used to identify you instead.

In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on your talk page. Again, welcome!

[edit] External links

Hello... with regards to the links you added, they have been removed because they do not meet the test put forth by Wikipedia's external links guideline. As that page outlines, Wikipedia is not just a collection of links; just because a site exists does not mean it automatically gets a listing here. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions about this. Cheers. --Ckatzchatspy 01:51, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

It is obvious that we'll have to agree to disagree. However, we cannot disrupt the page over the links section, so I have followed standard practice as per the guideline and inserted a link to the Open Directory Project. The ODP is, to quote their site, "the largest, most comprehensive human-edited directory of the Web." Wikipedia recommends the use of this search engine as a means of avoiding dispites over external links sections in articles. You are free to submit any and all links you wish to that site; the submission page is here. Cheers. --Ckatzchatspy 04:23, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button Image:Signature_icon.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 03:25, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
