User talk:Pcll2000

Welcome!

Hello, Pcll2000, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at Naming Conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and if you can't find your answer there, check the Village pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my New-Users' Talk Page.

Additional tips:

Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:

If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.
If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills, try the Sandbox.
Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
You might want to add yourself to the New User Log
If your first language isn't English, try Wikipedia:Contributing to articles outside your native language

Happy editing!

Remember (see above) always to sign your mesages; I had to go into my page history, and find you that way.
The first part is extremely long and unwieldy, and needs to be incorporated into the article. The article should begin with a short summary. The key here, as always, is to look at other articles to see how they do it (and at the Help pages).
The grammar of the first section (and the style, which is a mxture of legalese and the over-informal) needs to be checked.
I'll do some of it when I get time.
I hope that this helps. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 11:53, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hello, I'm General Ization. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Badminton, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Discussions about articles take place on the Talk Pages of those articles

Discussions about articles take place on the talk pages of those articles; that's the very purpose of a talk page. It would be completely impractical to have discussions within an article's body, even at the bottom of a page. Imagine the many thousands of lines of text that would pile up over the course of an article's lifetime. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:36, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
