Hello, Perspeculum!
You wrote me a nice welcome on my talk page when I first announced that I was new to editing WP articles (which is still the case.) I can usually figure out the markup or text formatting by reading long enough but there are two things that elude me.
1. When trying to leave my signature, I leave the string of tilde marks just as instructed. However, this only leaves an UNlinked version of my user signature. Later, WP (a bot, I imagine) goes through and says that the preceding was unsigned by xerobane on X date. So my entries always end up with something like...
Xerobane 17:24, 29 November 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xerobane (talk •
I copied and pasted that from a previous edit so it only varies slightly from the original. But the question remains... why does this happen? Am I placing the string of tildes incorrectly?
2. My second question has to do with the citation of sources. I understand I need to supply a link to any page (that wasn't created by me) that supports my facts but I get completely lost when it comes to adding the number in the box -[8] for example- and then the link in the references section of an article. For some reason, the number box never shows-up properly (likely due to a markup error on my part) so I always just end up forgetting about making a contrib and move on.
Any help you could give me would be much appreciated. Thanks, xerobane — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xerobane ( talk • contribs) 12:28, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
Welcome to the first edition of The Olive Branch. This will be a place to semi-regularly update editors active in dispute resolution (DR) about some of the most important issues, advances, and challenges in the area. You were delivered this update because you are active in DR, but if you would prefer not to receive any future mailing, just add your name to this page.

Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization consisting of over 28,000 volunteers in more than 100 countries. The collaboration was formed to organize medical scholarship in a systematic way in the interests of evidence-based research: the group conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.
Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account. Thank you Cochrane!
If you are stil active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)
