User talk:MurielOK

Welcome!

Hello, MurielOK, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited was Muriel Fahrion, which appears to be an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page. If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Re: Strawberry Shortcake

Hope you don't mind if I ask, but I was wondering what was your reaction to the Penny Arcade controversy where the webcomic did an obscene parody of your work intended as a satirical reaction to American McGee's dark takes on classical children's media.

I paid no attention to that. It is just necessary for me to be creating my new work to make a living. My husband's illness took all the money we had saved. I have responded to those that reach out to me about the love for my work. I will probably not even look into it. I need to stay healthy and stay positive.

I can understand that; 'tis not worth the trouble to get caught into such controversies anyway. By the way, kindly leave a signature on talk pages by clicking on the button on the edit page so that your message could be identified better. Blake Gripling (talk) 03:57, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

I think I would have to take a class in Wikipedia to even understand about signatures here. No time for that for me now. I do appreciate Wikipedia and have contributed in the past. As so many who worked on the Strawberry Shortcake & Carebears lines have past I do hold a lot of the history. I have an excellent memory and want to be factual. Reference I might site comes from interviews I have given. If I find errors in when I particular character was introduced I generally let it be. Thank you for contacting me and have a "Berry" good day.
