User talk:GDSmith

In response to your query on my talk page — first of all, my apologies for reverting your edit without explanation. I reverted your edit because it looked like a test to me (two words were moved around and a typo was introduced). Quite frequently, anonymous users come along to test 'if the editing really works' — I've mistaken you for such a user. I'm sorry! Allow me welcome you properly...

Thanks for registering, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• How to edit a page

• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style
• If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Wikipedia:Topical index.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! — mark ✎ 21:25, 9 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

If an article needs to be wikified, it is in need of proper use of Wiki markup. Often, it means that relevant terms need to be linked by putting them between pairs of angled brackets (like this: [[Example]]) and that indentations and lists need to be taken care of by way of the Wiki markup for it (see the page linked above for help and more information on Wiki markup). If you tell me which article it is, I can 'wikify' it for you as an example. Kind regards, — mark ✎ 22:08, 9 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Re: your follow-up question. I have moved Intercultura to InterCultura for you. Because of page move vandalism, the move feature is available only some time after the creation of a new account. I have furthermore wikified the article by linking relevant terms and adding a section for references and external links. Oh, and bold text is produced by putting the word between three apostrophs, like this: '''bold'''. Use two apostrophs on each side to produce italic text. See also my comments on the discussion page of the InterCultura article. Hope this helps! Cheers, — mark ✎ 20:04, 10 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
