Welcome!

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

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{helpme}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Further note: I have undone your changes at Template:UK-academic-bio-stub. You unfortunately tried to create an article in a template, which is the wrong way to do it - that particular template is used on lots of articles to show that the information is about a UK academic and can be expanded. Your changes meant that, for a while, every article using the template was displaying your notes about Edith Hall! If you want to create an article about an academic, and you think that they are sufficiently notable (check the guidance at Wikipedia:Notability (academics)) then go ahead - but on a new page, not in a template! Have a look at Help:Starting a new page for more information. Hope all this makes sense. Regards, BencherliteTalk 19:45, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Later note: having written the above, I see you've already created a page for Edith Hall. A good start, well done. I've added some categories to the article. However, I've left a note on the talk page about some of the phrases used, as you'll see, and it would be better still if you could provide specific references for some of the points made in the article. Let me know if I can help or if you're unsure what to do or how to do it. Regards, BencherliteTalk 20:02, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
