User talk:Hughcharlesparker/2006

Howdy, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contribution. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style
• If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Wikipedia:Topical index.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page (below).

Looks like you've already got a good head start, but I wanted to welcome you all the same. Happy editing and good luck! All the best, --Dvyost 15:25, 20 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I received your email regarding the blocked IP. Registered users are supposed to be able to edit pages regardless of IP. In fact, I didn't block the IP address 80.249.48.45; I blocked the anonymous User:80.249.48.45 (which is the name the Wikipedia assigns for that IP). Users of shared IPs are in fact encouraged to get a username in order to avoid being trapped in a block intended for others. If you use a username, basically nobody can see your IP without a very good reason. Please try again, because I don't see how this could be happening. --Pablo D.
