Hello, RJH, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you very much for your contributions so far. 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 tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style

You might also want to consider changing your username before you get too invested in your current one. Although you are allowed to use just about any name, many Wikipedians encourage others to use real names. I would suggest that you do this. I can certainly understand that you might be uncomfortable using your real name online, but, in this case, I recommend that you choose an alias that resembles a real name. For instance, my name is Nat Krause, but I could just as well have a username such as "Eli Miller" or "Abe Sokolov".

If you are choosing a pseudonym, please do not use the names of famous people or fictional characters. An obscure literary reference is probably all right. As always, please avoid anything that could be considered offensive or inappropriate.

Note that, on Wikipedia, you can use spaces and capital letters; for instance, "T. K. Truong" is possible, rather than simply "tktruong".

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. Again, welcome! - Nat Krause^(Talk!) 23:25, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

PS: Good idea taking the issues on Karmapa controversy to the talk page. - Nat Krause^(Talk!) 23:26, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On November 2, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Sagittarius B2, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Is there any reason that even though supernova PTF11kly aka SN 2011fe is happening right now, the article "Supernova" states: "Although no supernova has been observed in the Milky Way since 1604,..."?

It seems to me like an obvious omission, so obvious that I'm thinking there might be some reason that it's omitted. I don't want to edit it if it's left out for a reason. What do you think?
