Introduction

To any who may be viewing this page, Welcome. As a newer editor, I'm using this userpage as a learning tool, so if you have helpful comments, I'll happily read them on my talk page.


Tip of the day...
What are dummy edits good for?

A dummy edit is a slight change in an article's wikitext that has no effect on the rendered page but allows you to save a useful edit summary. This is like a SMS (Short Message Service).

To make a "dummy edit" just make a slight non-rendering change to the page, fill out the edit summary with your short message including this tag: [[WP:dummy edit]] (include the four square brackets), and save your change. (Note that a null edit does not modify the wikitext and does not allow you to leave an edit summary.)

As anonymous user, fixed the link for christian reiki from a .com to the .org site that doesn't redirect to Rand's pages.

When I was in the service, 3 stripes meant Sargeant!

A dead, unarchived source URL may still be useful. Such a link indicates that information was (probably) verifiable in the past, and the link might provide another user with greater resources or expertise with enough information to find the reference. It could also return from the dead. With a dead link, it is possible to determine if it has been cited elsewhere, or to contact the person originally responsible for the source. For example, one could contact the Yale Computer Science department if http://www.cs.yale.edu/~EliYale/Defense-in-Depth-PhD-thesis.pdf[dead link] were dead. Place {{Dead link|date=April 2017}} If you omit the date a bot will add it for you at some point. after the dead URL and just before the </ref> tag if applicable, leaving the original link intact. If you omit the date a bot will add it for you at some point. Placing [dead link] auto-categorizes the article into Articles with dead external links project category, and into specific monthly date range category based on |date= parameter. Do not delete a URL just because it has been tagged with [dead link] for a long time.
