Hello Fanwandango and Welcome to Uncyclopedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

I hope you enjoy the site and being an Uncyclopedian. Always remember to sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~) or use the "sign" button () above the edit box. This will automatically produce your name and the date.

If you want to start an article of your own it is usually best to start it within your namespace, for example, [[User:{{subst:BASEPAGENAME}}/Article about stuff]]. If you do this you can edit it at your leisure and move it over into the mainspace when it’s done. To start an article in the mainspace attach this template - {{construction}} to your work, so other Users will know you'll be back to finish it.

Should you need any help, do not hesitate to ask me on my talk page or ask at the Village Dump Forum. You can also add the following: {{help}} to this page along with a message and someone will come along and help you if they can. Additionally, the Uncyclopedian Adopt-a-Noob program is there to bring experienced writers straight to you. Browse our list of available mentors, and leave them a message on their talk page. Once again welcome to the site.— Sir Sycamore (talk) 15:26, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Marat Safin

So, I see you popped the help template on the Marat Safin article. What do you need to know? --UU - natter 07:39, Aug 21

Thanks, I wanted to put a footnote - the one that goes [1] and hyperlinks to the bottom of the page - when I copied this from a previous page - nothing previewed after the [1]. What am I doing wrong - sorry I am new to this.

I don't even know if I am answering this correctly or should I put somthing on your page? Maybe I will do both.

Thanks for helping - – Preceding unsigned comment added by Fanwandango (talk • contribs)

No problem, I'll respond here. Just give me a minute to scare up the appropriate code, I'll be right back. Oh, and sign talk page posts with 4 tildes (this thing: ~) it makes things much easier. :) --UU - natter 09:34, Aug 21

Rightyho, first you add the <ref>Put your reference here</ref> code in the article where you want the [1] to show. Then, you have to create a references section at the foot of the article, using the <references /> code - that's where the comment will show up , and the [1] will link to. It works like this: I don't use footnote references much but they can be really handy if you know what you're about.

Hope this helps. If not, reply here - I'm watching your page, and I'll get back as soon as I can. --UU - natter 09:39, Aug 21
