Hello, Precinctwebgeoff, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. {{#switch:{{{npov}}}|true=Unfortunately, one or more of your edits {{#if:|to the page :{{{article}}}|}} have not conformed to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV), and have been reverted. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole.

I would recommend that you get a username by clicking [{{fullurl:Special:Userlogin|type=signup}} sign up]. You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and has many benefits. As a registered user, you gain the use of an appropriate username of your choice, a personal watchlist to which you can add articles that interest you, the ability to start new pages, and much more. Also, your IP address, Precinctwebgeoff, will no longer be visible to other users.

A personal sandbox

You might want to think about creating your own personal sandbox. This allows you to work on an article before you actually publish it to the encyclopedia and keeps it separate from your actual user page. A personal sandbox lets you get your article into good shape before publishing, without the pressure of other editors tagging it or making changes, and it allows you to ask for 'second opinions' from others before you publish. Another bonus is that it preserves your work in case the actual article gets deleted, unlike the general Wikipedia:Sandbox which is emptied every 12 hours.

To start your personal sandbox page add this: User:Precinctwebgeoff/Sandbox to your user page. Save the page, then click on the link and start editing. It's also a good idea to place this banner {{tl|userpage}} on both your user page and your sandbox page. For example, here's my sandbox: User:Voceditenore/Sandbox. You might also want to add this banner: {{tl|User Sandbox}} to your sandbox page. You can create additional user sub-pages if you want the drafts for different articles kept separate. Here's an example of a sub-page for a draft I'm working on: User:Voceditenore/SlyDraft. All the best, Voceditenore (talk) 16:11, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
