- Yes, welcome, although I did notice that you're having trouble using wikilinks and templates. I also noticed that you tend to make frequent edits on some pages to correct minor mistakes. You can wikilink using brackets [[like this]], and you should use the "Show preview" button so you can spot for and correct mistakes while editing. Ultimately, I do recommend that you read the various articles linked above to get the hang of things here. Inkblot 09:18, 26 March 2013 (EDT)
Hey! Help:Editing should provide you with some tips on formatting links, however notes that start out "X is the first" or "X is not the first" should generally be avoided for a number of reasons (circumstances sometimes change and the note becomes inaccurate, for instance). --abates (talk) 00:12, 3 January 2015 (EST)

Creating pages
Hi, just dropping by with a couple of pieces of advice about creating new articles. Firstly, intro paragraphs should always be written 'in-universe' - that is, "Rook is this and that" rather than "We know this and that about Rook." Also, please remember to categorise articles. The easiest way to do this is to check what categories a similar page is in. For Rook, for example, I copy-pasted categories from Alpha Bravo, another new-character Combiner Wars Autobot. Thanks!

A few things...
Your snark and side comments need to be reduced in both your write-ups and edit summaries. While we are more informal than other wikis, the jokes mustn't get in the way of actual information. Inserting yet another "to sell toys" joke not only breaks the flow of information, but that joke's been unfunny for a long time now. Also, while the occasional edit summary comment is fine, it is not necessary to voice your opinion on every single summary. It's annoying.
In addition, try not to pothole links when you can just rewrite that portion to directly refer to said link.
Finally, you mentioned that you wanted to upload some pics? Well, if you look at your Toolbox at the bottom-left corner of the screen, you'll see a button called "Upload file"...
(Just don't upload a buttload of them. Cherry-pick the ones that are most informative, such as shots depicting the venue, and ones focusing on possible toy displays and statues, etc. Then you'll need to resize them so that their dimensions and file size aren't too big. Make sure they're JPGs!)
