Welcome!
Thanks for coming to GenieWiki Tarkan! Your contributions here are already a great addition to the wiki. I hope you'll enjoy it here and remember to drop by my talk page if you want to ask an editing question or need any help. Richard 14:43, 3 June 2006 (CDT)
Thanks for making a user page!
It's great to see you have a user page now. Userpages are a great way to get to know people and I hope to see more people creating them in the future. It's good to learn a little more about you. I think I can relate to your difficulty in relating to your peers!
I can't say that I agree with all of your ideas there, but it's good to learn more about you, and I'm not about to start a debate :)

Naming articles or links
When making an article or linking to a future one, please don't use the plural form of the word linked to. For example, if you were writing storage pits, you would write it like this: [[storage pit]]s. This is because the article will be called 'Storage pit' not 'Storage pits' (or 'Storage Pit' (with capital 'P'). It still makes the whole word red (or blue if the article exists), but links only to the part within the double brackets. Please try to keep this in mind when creating links.
It's also handy to know that all articles start with a capital letter, but we don't need to write this in our link. For example gold links to the article named as Gold, so it saves any extra code. We also must remember to name articles (or sections of articles) without using capital letters (unless it is a word you would never write in lower case - for example scenario design is okay, but age of empires heaven would never be written this way.
If we want to link to a different word then the one we are using, we use a 'pipe' like this: some other word. Have a look at how the pipe is used - the article you link to is place on the left and the word used in the text goes on the right.
I'll try to get some naming guidelines up this weekend.
Thanks, and let me know if you need anymore help!

Garrisoning article
Great work on the garrisoning article - it's really good! I've added a little more to it today and it's very nearly complete. Keep up the excellent work! Richard 05:08, 24 June 2006 (CDT)
