Hi there Bottombadger. Welcome to Wikipedia, its always good to see new users. When you get a chance, drop us a note at Wikipedia:New user log to introduce yourself! You might also like to put a short introduction on your user page so that other wikipedians can get to know you.
You can sign your name on talk pages by using " ~~~ " for your username and " ~~~~ " for your username and a timestamp. Signing your name is important on talk pages because it helps people get in touch with you. Also remember to indent each of your comments using : so that other users can follow the flow of discussions
As well as editing wikipedia you could also think about taking part in many other essential activities that make wikipedia a friendly place. For example you could welcome new users to wikipedia or you could try mediating discussions between other users. There are loads of other options at the Wikipedia:Community Portal.
Some links to get you started in the community:
The new users Welcome page is a good place to start.
Wikipedia:Tutorial runs through all the basics of editing an article and using Wikipedia.
Dean randall has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding {{subst:smile}}, {{subst:smile2}} or {{subst:smile3}} to their talk page with a friendly message. Happy editing!
hi jon, i hope you hav not joined wikipedia solely to vandalise. DARReNTALK
i hope you live up to your claims as this is not what you said at school. Please prove me wrong and let's hope you can get off to a good start. DARReNTALK
Don't go to Redvers page and you won't be offended. How about you actually try contributing to the encyclopedia instead of trolling talk pages? Syrthiss13:30, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Syrthiss, if you are not here to contribute to the encyclopedia constructivly then what are you here for? I have removed the link on your user page telling users to contact me as I don't want to be associated with you.
i endorse the above comments. If you can not offer anything that will help Wikipedia then there is no point in you being here. As of now i will be closely monitoring you to make sure you do not step out of line again. We do not want you giving me and jimothytrotter a bad reputation

Please be more kind and respectful to other users. I noticed your impolite and uncivil request to Daniel.Bryant asking him to create a user page for you. Daniel.Bryant kindly made mine as i had ammased quite a few edits and because i asked in a polite manner. Now you have dashed any hopes of him creating a user page for you i suggest you make some useful contributions before you ask anyone else DARReNTALK
