Flag as incorrect

Hi, I think you left a comment the above will erroneously return:... on a PLI example. Could you change this to use the template incorrect so that PLI users are flagged that the example needs attention. Thanks. --Paddy3118 18:22, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Please summarize your edits

Just a little note: when editing, it's polite to include something meaningful in the summary that says what you've done -- for example, if you add a new solution to a task, it's nice to put something like "added language" in the summary to let others know what you've done.

Under Special:Preferences is an option for the wiki to remind you to enter a summary if you forget; I highly recommend turning it on. (Look for "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" under the "Editing" tab.) -- Erik Siers 13:14, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi Gerard, Adding the summary takes little time, and really helps others. Thanks. --Paddy3118 06:27, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Welcome!

Welcome to Rosetta Code! I'm Mike, and I noticed you created an account.

Some quick things you should be aware of:

Template:Mylang	Helps you show what languages you're familiar with, and helps us become aware of skills with languages we haven't seen.
Category:Unimplemented tasks by language	A place to find tasks missing solutions in various languages.
Blogs, twitter, facebook...	We have them, and are interested in yours.
Special:Webchat	Logs you into #rosettacode on the Freenode IRC channel. Not usually the most active communications medium, but occasionally helpful. It's logged at http://irclog.perlgeek.de/rosettacode/today.
Rosetta Code:Village Pump	A general Q/A and discussion area.
Rosetta Code:Finances	For most of Rosetta Code's history, expenses have been paid out of my pocket. I can't afford that much longer, and so you can see the state of Rosetta Code's finances, and how you may help. If you enjoy or are excited about the site, please consider reading through it.

Sorry for the boilerplate; it can be a bit difficult giving an individual greeting to each person. If you post information about your technical interests and background, I'll probably read it. If you already have put that kind of information on your user page, I probably already have; I'm always interested in how people do and can benefit from Rosetta Code.--Michael Mol 12:31, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Too much text on a page

Please try not to put more than a few KBs on a task page for each example. When the task pages get too large it gets difficult to manage. If you must add large examples or large output sections, please put them on a separate page and link them. --Mwn3d 03:57, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
