• How to create your first article
• Simplified Manual of Style

Also, I think your edit in the PRISM article was meant to be in the Boundless informant article?? I removed it from prism, but if I'm wrong, feel free to readd it with a source. Thanks! Capscap (talk) 16:42, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't realize there was something called Boundless informant. I was reading the prism article from the news section and it doesn't say anything about the name origin which is related to breaking up and reassembling colors.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Two kinds of pork (talk • contribs)

no problem. I think the information you added may describe the heatmap at the top right of the Boundless informant page, so maybe you can add it to that article? All the best, Capscap (talk) 16:55, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Why does my user name appear in red while others I see are blue?Two kinds of pork (talk) 19:14, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Two kinds of pork,

Instead of just deleting large portions of the article and venting your prejudices against Mr Perry, would you be willing to engage in a constructive discussion about how we can wikify it and bring it into line with WP best practice? Edit wars have a nasty habit of attracting attention. Orthorhombic, 15:20, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Daniel Morgan Perry. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. GB fan 15:36, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't vandalism. I removed what appears to be a cut and past job from another sight.Two kinds of pork (talk) 21:47, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why am I getting accused of being a vandal by random editors? This makes no sense.Two kinds of pork (talk) 03:47, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I apologize for the mistaken action as a vandalism edit. Might I recommend you clearly indicate in the edit summary what actions you are taking and why... This would assist folks who are reviewing the edits and allow them to have insight into the thoughts behind your actions. I have removed my warning from above, again my apology - happy editing. TRL (talk) 03:51, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like you have a possible explanation above. Please use edit summaries for now on. I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. @ 04:02, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am so sorry. Yes, I see it now. It was totally inadvertent - we were involved in an edit conflict, and although I thought I had preserved the previous comment, obviously I hadn't. Once again, I'm sorry. StAnselm (talk) 22:51, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the explanation. I'm glad it was a misunderstanding instead of seemingly yet another person looking for an argument.Two kinds of pork (talk) 16:28, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a formatting tutorial for usernames and highlighting?Two kinds of pork (talk) 14:19, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

By "usernames and highlighting", do you mean customizing your signature? APerson (talk!) 15:29, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for responding, but I mean hyperlinks to articles, users, formatted text (like green quotations, bold, italics).Two kinds of pork (talk) 15:31, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not really - you can use regular HTML, but that's about it. Mdann52 (talk) 15:58, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
