Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Frankieolives. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article
- Editor's index to Wikipedia
Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{ helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.
Again, welcome! I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a {{ Talkback}} message on my talk page. @ 01:45, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi there. First, I want to thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. However, I reverted your addition to Metafiction because you added an example without a citation. This is known as original research, and it is forbidden on Wikipedia. As an encyclopedia, we only report what reliable sources have already said; we can't invent our own interpretations and post them here. The easiest way to find a citation for something you feel is obvious is to do a Google search. For example, you might search for "get shorty" metafiction or "get shorty" "example of metafiction". Keep in mind that self-published sources, such as blogs, are not reliable by Wikipedia's standards. Google Scholar, Google Books, Google News, Highbeam Research, and JSTOR are all excellent alternatives to a standard Google search query. If you'd like further help with useful search queries, reliable sources, or Wikipedia policy, feel free to leave a message on my talk page, and I'll try to help you.
