Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Sacha, can you add two extra refs as suggested above? Also, can I suggest that you take a picture of some of the text in "SH"s book? .... it would make a good picture as there is only really one at the moment. Very impressed.... any more plans? Victuallers (talk) 14:37, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Siege of Gibraltar (1727)

On 16 August 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Siege of Gibraltar (1727), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the troops besieging the British in Gibraltar in 1727 (pictured) included the founder of the original Hellfire Club? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Siege of Gibraltar (1727). You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
