You might like some of these links and tips:
- some General guidance.
- Tutorial and the Manual of Style.
- Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
- Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~).
- Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board
- Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
- Use the Show preview button
- Provide an Edit summary
- Add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.
Here are a few more good links for to help you get started:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
Welcome
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia!
Here are some tips to help you get started:
- If you haven't already, please add your name to the new user log to let others know a little about yourself.
- Read the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the Sandbox.
- Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
- If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk or ask me on my talk page.
- To sign your name on a talk page, please finish your comments with ~~~~ (four tildes). The wiki will insert a link to your userpage and the timestamp.
- Not every subject needs its own page. Sometimes it is wiser to deal with certain subjects together on one page. See Wikipedia:Merge and Wikipedia:Redirect for some background. You may want to review Avoiding common mistakes to get started quickly.
- Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!
Enjoy! If you need any help, please don't hesitate to contact me at User talk:TShilo12. :-) - Tomertalk 14:58, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
Userpage
Hey, Snowmanradio, with a colourful username like that you should have a userpage! JFW | T@lk 16:52, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
Nice haematology edits. Are you a clinician or a lab scientist? JFW | T@lk 23:57, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Ipswich museum
Do you know enough about the Ipswich museum to write an wiki page about it? Snowman 14:37, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
There seems to already be a Ipswich Museum article. I don't know what you mean, sorry! Celardore 16:06, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Kell antigen nomenclature
Hi, I noticed that you have written the Kell antigens as K1, K2, etc on the HDN page. We were trying to track down a standard way of writing them on the new Kell page but hadn't run across anything documenting that way of writing the different antigens. I realize that there may not be a standardized way, but I'd appreciate any insight into where the K1 came from! InvictaHOG 22:33, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
License tagging for Image:Beatles oldies side1.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Beatles oldies side1.JPG. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 10:04, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Agglutination picture
Hi Snowman, see this new picture of a bedside blood grouping card. Image:Bedside card.jpg - could do with tidying up a bit. --apers0n 15:30, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Good idea, I will use a scanner. The trade name can always be blanked out as with the names. --apers0n 18:19, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Minor edits
Remember to mark your edits as minor only when they genuinely are (see Wikipedia:Minor edit). "The rule of thumb is that an edit of a page that is spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a 'minor edit'." --Gray Porpoise 01:19, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
- It is useful to have a definition of a minor edit. Snowman 17:38, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
images
I think there's probably no problem with server space, but just for neatness's sake, I've deleted the prior versions as you asked. - Nunh-huh 13:40, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
Re: medical advice
Re: medical advice, which pages/edits in particular did you have in mind? I'm happy to modify them so as not to violate the policy against providing medical advice, although I do think information about commonly used symptoms, treatments, etc should be included in a general way.

BMI
I was surprised to see someone with your contribs history create BMI Chart (height 150 - 174cm). I am sure this would never survive an AfD discussion. Try it at Wikibooks. -- RHaworth 11:11, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, I wrote it. I am interested in perl. Snowman 11:14, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
The talk page may well get deleted along with the article. I suggest you repeat the PHP code at Talk:Body mass index. -- RHaworth 12:30, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- It is perl code. What is a AfD discussion? Snowman 13:08, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
AfD is Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BMI Chart (height 150 - 174cm) - you contributed to it a moment ago! -- RHaworth 18:56, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
- It has survived an AfD discussion and some people do support this new page. Snowman 08:06, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
You do say some weird things. You cannot say it has survived until the discussion is closed. -- RHaworth 08:59, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
- It has survived and that is official now. Snowman 08:40, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Move
You should be able to move War Memorial Park, since nothing exists at the destination page (War Memorial Park (Coventry); just click on the "move" tab on that page and specify the destination. The only reason I can think for moving it would be if you are going to create a disambiguation page at War Memorial Park linking to the other pars of that name. If you have any trouble moving it, let me know and I'll do it (otherwise I think it's good for you to learn how to do it on your own!) - Nunh-huh 14:12, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

| I hereby award the Minor Barnstar to Snowmanradio for his hard work in making minor edits to many, many articles. -- P.B. Pilhet 21:41, 19 September 2006 (UTC) |
Thanks, that is much appreciated. Snowman 08:13, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
BMI graph
I've been working on a graph for much of the night now but have been unsuccessful. I will keep trying, but have a busy schedule for the rest of the week. Can you create a script to give me the raw data for the weight at which the BMI is 18.5, 30, 35, and 40 for each height between 1.5 and 2.0 meters? That might help (I've been writing macros tonight but didn't think to break out perl!) You can just e-mail it to me if you get ahold of it... InvictaHOG 04:17, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
- The perl script should be easy and I hope to work on it some time over the week end. Snowman 08:11, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- I am not sure how to use the wiki email. Snowman 08:47, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
