Hello, BaronFowling

THIS IS SERIOUS; READ IT.

Congratulations on joining ED! You probably fit into one of these categories:

1. New User

Before making your first article look over ED:101. Try checking out random articles and fixing typos, grammar and/or bullshit where you find them before trying to make a new page. To start with, make multiple small edits to different articles until you have the hang of it. If you don't, it is unlikely that your article will survive for more than sixty seconds and you risk being molested by ED Sysops.

If you don't know anything about wiki formatting and code, please read ED:BASIC and the Style Guide. Take your time and start slowly.

2. Mediawiki Migrant If you're an experienced wiki user (probably from a Wikipedia offshoot) who knows how to operate, please read ED:101 for offical policy and ED:MIGRANT for tips on assimilation and basic rules.

Whichever you are, to successfully contribute to ED, please take some time to look around, note why other people get banned and don't act like they did.

Communication with other users prevents misunderstandings and can be done through talk pages, TJC and the mailing list.

If you plan on sticking around, feel free to make your mark on the ED:Map and join the all new ED Facebook, the ED Myspace the ED Bebo and follow the ED Twitter.

And it looks like this: username

Cool, huh? I went ahead and changed your user page, but if you don't like it you can put it back.

ALso, watch it with the over-the-top self-deprecation. It makes you look fishy, like an extremely porly disguised Wikipedia troll (they like to drop in from time to time and try and FAIL to ruin our articles) Miltopia 17:45, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

• I wasn't OTT. If I was OTT, therw ould have been implicating references to my sexuality. As it was, was subtle. And brutally honest. Chicken 19:53, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GV's boobiez

Um... since Girlvinyl is our head honcho, you should probably check with her before uploading pics of her. Miltopia 18:34, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

I didn't upload the picture, I just changed the subtitle. I thought it would be funny. As my page clearly states, I am often wrong in these cases.

• Oh yeah, you're right. Haha, I'm dumb. ANd four tildaes is how you sign and timestamp your comments - ~~~~ = Miltopia 19:29, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Wow! Let me try. By the way, do you offer this advise to all blatant n00bs? Chicken 19:32, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Read your welcome message Carefully. Preferibly clicking every link and reading that too. Plus read lots of articles. Miltopia 19:41, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
      • I did already. But then I did it again, so as not to upset anyone. How do I assign categories? Chicken 19:55, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
