Should this link be added to the Getting Started page? [[Wikipedia:Plain_and_simple]] -- [[User:Grantbow|Grantbow]] ([[User talk:Grantbow|talk]]) 01:51, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

:It was recently removed after begin recently added - but I would support it being reinstated.[[User:Moxy|Moxy]] ([[User talk:Moxy|talk]]) 02:21, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

:To me this is quite an important page. A discussion in the context of the [[Wikipedia:Help_Project]] might be useful rather than randomly merging with another page as was suggested recently in the edit history. [[User:Grantbow|Grantbow]] ([[User talk:Grantbow|talk]]) 20:55, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

== Format History==

The company was founded by [[Kamran]]

in 2004. </ref>

I am going to try again over the next few days to format the page again so there is uniformity.[[User:Moxy|Moxy]] ([[User talk:Moxy|talk]]) 22:54, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

== Chinese Medal Cloud and Banner ==

In 1945 I was a Marine stationed on Okinawa when our outfit was ordered to china. Our mission was to participate in the occupation of Northern China. When we arrived in China we rode by train to Peking China and we were stationed just outside Peking. General Chang Ki Scek awarded our outfit, The Cloud and Banner for our participation in the occupation of Northern China. Our Commander (A colonel) received the medal for the unit. Does this medal only go to the Commander or to the entire Marine Unit?

I have an original disk of Reader Rabbit in my hands. It says copyright 1984 not 1986.

I have a picture of the disk to sell it on eBay. Learning Company has been around since at least 1982.

== How to work here ==

I have create a page about a village but it shows my username as title. What should I do?? [[User:D&#39;Nesh|D&#39;Nesh]] ([[User talk:D&#39;Nesh|talk]]) 18:37, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

:[[Wikipedia:How to create a page]] goes through the process. But for new articles I would strongly suggest the article wizard at [[Wikipedia:Article wizard]]. <b style="font-family:'Segoe Script',cursive;">[[User:Mrjulesd|<span style="color:orange;">--Jules</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Mrjulesd|(Mrjulesd)]]</b> 18:51, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

== Introductions section ==

{{intro to box|float=right}}

The [[Help:Getting_started#Introductions|#Introduction]] section currently duplicates the information give in {{tlx|intro to box}} template. What do people think about removing the [[Help:Getting_started#Introductions|#Introduction]] section, just leaving the {{tlx|intro to box}} template?

Additionally, the stacking of the {{tlx|intro to box}} template straight under the video looks a little odd to me. What about right-aligning it in the [[Help:Getting_started#Tutorials|#Tutorials]] section? <span class="nowrap">[[User:Evolution and evolvability|T.Shafee(Evo&#65120;Evo)]]^{[[User talk:Evolution and evolvability|talk]]}</span> 11:03, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

::The problem is that this page is for new people....the template explains nothing...just links. What should be asked is do we need the template...that just repeats links with no description of what is what-- [[User:Moxy|Moxy]] ([[User talk:Moxy|talk]]) 15:51, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

:::That's a good point. I see how the lists of subsections for each tutorial give a bit more information on what you're in for before you click through, particularly for a complete beginner. Sidenote: listing the number of subsections (a four part guide to...) is surely unnecessary, since the subsections are then listed immediately after. <span class="nowrap">[[User:Evolution and evolvability|T.Shafee(Evo&#65120;Evo)]]^{[[User talk:Evolution and evolvability|talk]]}</span> 22:37, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

::::I feel we should keep both: the "introductions" text section for crystal clarity and detailed descriptions, and the "Into to box" as a pleasant graphical alternate description. <b style="font-family:'Segoe Script',cursive;">[[User:Mrjulesd|<span style="color:orange;">--Jules</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Mrjulesd|(Mrjulesd)]]</b> 23:56, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
