Hi Doug, Thankyou for your addittions to Clay Shirky. I know it's frustrating that one can't preview references. You might want to try using the citation templates. Another very handy tool is Twinkle which will install citation buttons on your toolbar. Wwwhatsup ( talk) 03:11, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi Wwwhatsup,
Thanks for your help. The link to citation templates was just what I was looking for. Also the other links I'll refer to as I take a more methodical approach to learning how to edit and how the Wikipedia community works.

Yep. That archive is great isn't it. I'm considering getting a print sub to the NY Times just so I can access the full articles. Take a look, for instance, at how much I was able to dig up on Irving Plaza on a recent all-nighter. Lanier invented Virtual Reality - he has every right to become an apostate..

I found a photo in Wikipedia Commons that I want to crop and include in an article. I thought it might be useful to others if my cropped photo was somehow associated with the original photo in Wikipedia Commons. Please tell me what I need to do. Thanks.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Please help me with editing an image file page. I brightened an image using Photoshop, and then uploaded it, creating a new file page, but I think it would be better if my image was included as a new version on the original image file page. How do I go about this?
In case it is helpful to see the pages that I am talking about, the original page is:
/info/en/?search=File:Charles_Leadbeater_author_of_WeThink_2008-09-17.JPG
My version is:
/info/en/?search=File:Charles_Leadbeater_author_of_WeThink_2008-09-17b.jpg
Thanks in advanced.

Hi. Thanks for improving Amara Sinha. I noticed that you added a new reference but did not add its ISBN number. Please check out this video on how to easily cite sources using the ISBN number or even a Google Books URL. This will save you a lot of typing :) Just an FYI.-- Cpt.a.haddock ( talk) (please ping when replying) 12:41, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
Hi Doug4,
I see that you are adding alot of links to the See also sections of alot of articles. Please be aware that if a link is already in the article, we don't list it again in the See also section per WP:SEEALSO. Thank you, -- Malerooster ( talk) 01:29, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
