Hello, Coralmizu, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might find helpful:
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Hello! I have already read the Talk pages guidelines/information, but I am still unsure as to how to you post a comment in the talk pages (I do not see any "post comment" button on the page). I would greatly appreciate any help you could provide, I am a (very) new member to wikipedia, and I lack much knowledge about how to utilise it! Thank you in advance!

Hello! Reguarding your question, to comment on talk pages, click on the plus mark next to the words "Edit this page" on the top of the screen. When loaded, you will be shown a text box. On the top text box, you can add your subject. When you want to add a line like this:
you type ==LINE EXAMPLE==. When you are finished, leave your signature by signing with the 4 tilde keys (ex ~~~~ for me comes out as L337p4wn 06:03, 13 October 2007 (UTC)). Then press the "Save Page" button on the bottom of the larger text box. That's it! Glad I could help! L337p4wn 06:03, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
P.S., If you need any other text help, editing commands, etc. go to the Cheat Sheet page. :) L337p4wn 06:06, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Well, (if I'm getting you question right) just go to "edit this page", find the section where the person left the comment, type your comment under theirs, sig. it, and save page. Forgive me If I'm wrong, but it's 1:37 A.M in U.S. Central Time Zone. xD

{{ helpme}} I'm sorry to bother you, but if someone could assist me in editing a userspace (how to format it, where to place userboxes, etc.), would they kindly give me some much needed info? I'm at such a loss for knowledge about codes to create boxes, where to paste userboxes, and such!!! Thanks!
Also, I was recently trying out new skins under "preferences," and I didn't really like the skin I chose (the one I'm using now), but when I attempted to click on "skin" under preferences, it acts as if there's no link, and it won't let me click it to change my skin! I've tried everything to make the link work, from refreshing the page, to restarting my computer, but no matter what, I can't change the skin. Does anyone know what might be wrong?
Thanks, so much ArielGold! I'll check out the tutorial page soon.
About the skins, do you know how when you try to click on something that isn't a link, it'll just click, it won't open? That's what's going on with the "Skin" link. Nothing happens. Also, when you hover over a link, a hand icon will usually appear, whereas now it just shows the usual arrow icon. A few of the other links aren't opening either, such as the "Math" tab and some others.
{{ helpme}} I was recently reading WP:RS, and it was very helpful, but I still don't know which websites are considered reliable, and which aren't. What I mean is, one can properly cite the source of information in an article, yes, but how can one really be sure the information in the souce cited (the content in the website) is reliable?
What's up? To answer your first question, I truthfully have no idea how to do the boxes thing...(I copied the text from Jimmy Whale's page and edited it a little!) And for the second question, to add a photo find the photo's name.
For instance, I'll use the photo "Example.png". When I want to make a box for it, I'll copy the name, (Example.png), then type [[File:Bad Title Example.png]] This creates
.
Glad I could help!, L337p4wn
Hi Mizu:
"I am of English, Irish, Puerto rican and African-American decent."
And speak Japanese, and a Buddhist and from Alaska.
And with a ton of user boxes.
I'm very impressed.
By the way, I wandered over here because of a weird edit you put on Spontaneous Human Combustion. When clicked, it goes to Spontaneous Human Combustion. I'm wondering if this has a special purpose that I don't know about, or if it was a mistake, or you are playing a trick on people like me.
Oh yes, I think you meant "descent" not "decent" in the sentence I quoted above.

Hello again. It seems you put a link in the article that takes you to the article. Like going around in a circle. ??? Take a look here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Spontaneous_human_combustion&diff=prev&oldid=170463066
It's not doing any harm but I was curious about it.

{{ helpme}} I just finished reviewing the suspected sock puppets page, and I saw that some IP adresses were on the suspected list! How could this be possible? How do they know that it's the same person? Couldn't it just be someone else in the area? Also, does this mean that if more than one person lives at a residence (most specifically, dormatories), only one person living there can have a wikipedia account (since they would have the same IP adress, provided they use the same computer, and could thus be identified as a puppetmaster)?
Mizu onna sango15 02:37, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
{{ helpme}} How can I prevent the constant and tedious edit conflicts that I get when I'm giving out vandalism warnings to IP adresses? I just don't think it would be appropriate of me to use an {{ inuse}}or {{ underconstruction}} template on a user talk page, especially since it's not mine, but I'm always getting caught in edit conflicts with other CVU members/recent changes patrollers and it's a bit frustrating. Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving. Mizu onna sango15 ( talk) 22:57, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
{{ helpme}} I have two questions:
A) I have an idea for a good (and unusual) article, but I'm slightly worried it will end up being deleted for various reasons:
I've read many Wikipedia guidelines on writing good articles and I think I'm ready to create my own: I've checked for various problems (COI, POV, violation of what Wikipedia isn't, etc.), But I still have a feeling it may not be worthy enough. What can I do to make sure it belongs in Wikipedia?
B) No matter what I do, I can't seem to get into the IRC Chat. Whenever I follow the link, I get a "cannot be displayed" page. DO you know what might be wrong? -- Mizu onna sango15 ( talk) 22:31, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

{{ helpme}} Hello, how do I change the way my signature looks when I sign on Talk Pages? For example, if I wanted to make my signature a diferent color, precisely how would I do that? When I read WP:timestamp, it said that I can go to preferences and change it, but that wasn't really specific enough. Also, can I use a non-latin (i.e., Japanese) script in my signature as long as it links to my Userpage? Thanks in advance! Mizu onna sango15 ( talk) 01:25, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi, you told me I was vandalizing. How do you know I didn't think that Cincinnati needed two charts. Just because you don't think so doesn't mean it vandalism. You should be blocked since your breaking a rule of Wikipedia. You taking ownership of a page. That is wrong.

Hi, thanks for your message, but I’ve only deleted a sentence from the main Keeping Up Appearances page, due it repeating what has already been said. Edito*Magica ( talk) 23:24, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
But anyway this “Collectaonian” user is a nightmare, there’s a link to the admin page where he has reported me, it doesn’t seem fair. He also criticised me for getting yours and another user’s opinions on the layout that you saw, calling you and I “inexperienced” which I thought was really arrogant and out of order. This is the link to it: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. On the contents is my user name which will take you to the right bit. I am determined not to let his bullying tactics win though. Speak soon. Edito*Magica ( talk) 22:54, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
I’ve just been on the admin page and its amazing how abusive Collectonian is being, these are his exact words: “His claims of support are from one or two other editors who are also as inexperienced as he is, and he continues to claim this support of two trumps” this is a personally attacking now, do you think I should report him? Not only that, but on the admin page he is making it look like it’s me who is the vandal! Edito*Magica ( talk) 23:09, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
But back to Collectatonian, yeah you’re probably right, but if she can bully one user (two including you) then she’ll just keep bullying others to get her own way. I might still report her for the abuse, because you’re right, everyone’s entitled to edit, and calling us “inexperienced” is wrong, because we’re not, and even if we were it’s irrelevant. Anyway, have a nice day. Speak to you soon. Edito*Magica ( talk) 00:01, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
I’m inviting you into a discussion on the Keeping Up Appearances episode page. You see, we are trying to decide on what table layout on the page looks best, the group of yellow coloured tables, or the other type that Collectonian prefers. If you go through the above link, then to the episode page and then click on the “discussion” tab at the top, then finally click on "table type" on the content list once on the discussion page. Obviously you don’t have to, but your opinion is appreciated. Thanks. Edito*Magica ( talk) 22:11, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for adding your name to our project membership list! Our goal is to make Wikipedia the foremost compendium of musical theatre to be found on the internet: hope you're up to the challenge! As a project member, you might like to introduce yourself on our talk page and maybe add the project membership userbox to your user page.
If you haven't done so already, please add our main project page to your watchlist and browse our page of useful templates. When you have a moment, please take some time to review our article structure guidelines for musicals, which, after months of collaboration, we developed through consensus as our recommended structure for articles on musicals. If you would like suggestions about where to start, we've gathered a few suggestions in the Project to do list and in our tasklist.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the project talk page or on my talk page. Again, welcome and happy editing!
